Eurodeere Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Keep the pictures coming. Good to see a Salop trailer still earning its keep. That's a beast of a JCB shovel, is it used regularly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a beast of a JCB shovel, is it used regularly? yes the old equipment is still used regularly, the jcb is a great meachine but i think if i heard right there might be a 416 coming next year. the pics will keep coming and ill get some from in the stores. the carrot harvest is not too far off but there are still 400 acres of spuds to do so plenty of pics left to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
