phil phoenix Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Well I popped down to Manns of Saxham Claas HQ to pick up the new Wiking Arion 650 model on Saturday and had a good nose around of this lovely grey Arion 660 in their showroom. I must say the fit and finish in the cab was superb, with a very comfy leather seat. The control stick was interesting, very ergonomic and restful for the hand. If I were an operator these new Claas model's would certainly be in contention, very nice indeed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil phoenix Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Oh and I had a peak in the yard as well where I spied another grey one, this time a 650 being Pdi before March delivery no doubt. And look what someone had left behind with its Horsch 6GS sprayer hooked up behind! New Puma 240 another beauty. One of Goodie's customer's? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Seeing as the sun was shining, decided to take Gemma's Jack Russell out for a wander around the Valley, anyhow as we passed a local watering hole thought it be rude not to keep our fluids up and had a quiet pint.... Anyhows as I ordered I noticed a thing on the specials board saying giant onion rings..... So thought why not .... Photo of Gemma and one of the said onion rings 👍 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
