SPN Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Yet again, I have a big job starting the day after a Spalding Show. Just have to hope I will be free to go to the next one. It's been to many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0025 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I felt last year it was very quite, and a few of the big traders weren't there, hopefully it will pick up a bit this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave the farmer Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 So want to go.but can't due to visting family up in morayshire scotland.have a great show everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Just back from the show, it seemed to be busier that last year but I think that the wet weather would have something to do with that, farmers not yet able to get onto the wet land to start spring work. I did notice that there were very few machines in the fields and much of the land around Spalding hasn't yet been cultivated. Sorry but I did not take my camera with me this time, I am sure that David will be along with a selection of pics shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I saw four Challengers 765E tractors along with 3 Fendt 724s planting spuds in one 40 acre field on the B1165 on the way home, having seen the same 4 machines drilling wheat in a nearby field back in October..........................talk about over kill !! Got some nice bits n pieces at the show and had a good chat with Pete on his stand...........................also Dan at 3 oakes who had some well smart trailers on display Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0025 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Yes an improvement on last year, managed to get a few bargains... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watermill Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Thank you to everyone who goes to the effort of organising the show, and to all the traders, some who travel a very long way! We had a great day, great night in the pub last night, good to see some lovely people. Thank you! Very busy at one point, some new faces as well and from the traders I know it was a successful day, I hope it’s profitable for all whether buying or selling as that’s what’s makes success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_emmons Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 A good show but some prices seemed a bit high, yet I did manage to find a few bargains Not sure if I will go again as a 3 hour drive each way and it never felt it had the buzz of Leamington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Agri Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Was a good show i thought managed to pick up some good bargains and tick a few off the shopping list. 4 Hours each way though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
