NewHolland2 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Snapped this one tonight......They'd swapped the 818 for a 716 but still only the one lad doing it and he's going slower than I've ever seen a de-stoner go...... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for the info Peter......I had no idea who they were......They've had two of the Fendts here so far (the 818 I posted a wee while back with the Bed-Former)......I've no idea whether they're planting tatties or carrots though...... \ :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about them but when i snapped a Reekie de-stoner it was red \ \ Great pictures mate Cheers mate......I'm liking the video feature too certainly adds a bit more excitement to snapping...... :D ;) Reekie machines were originally produced in Red (like the model you snapped and the 330SA De-Stoner also and the potato planters were silver metal 2 row models)......When they became part of the Netagco Group of companies (including other manufacturers such as Miedema and Rumpstad) all machines adopted the green colour scheme of Netagco (like the bunker/conveyor the carrot lads up here use)...... Hope that's of some use mate......Will dig out the link to the Netagco site for you too...... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 I know mate......I upload them to Youtube and then just delete them off the computer...... The Netagco Reekie site no longer seems to exist but I found the Miedema site...... http://www.miedema.com/mm/view/1 I do have copies of most Reekie brochures as the head office is/was not far from me however I'm not sure if Reekie is still manufacturing kit after the Underhaug/Kverneland business supposedly took the Reekie designs and made machines for themselves......Perhaps someone would be able to clear this up please as I can only remember bits of the story relating to this?

You won't find a site relating to Netagco anymore Mart as they went belly up a couple of years back, got too big for their boots, I believe Reekie is a seperate company again now, possibly going as Scanstone but not sure on that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Maybe they are charging by the hour and not by the acre if he is going that slow to make the job pay better I think it's mechanical problems with the de-stoner mate as I was speaking to a farmer who lives beside the other field they were doing and he said the mechanic was out at it very often...... \ \ \ You won't find a site relating to Netagco anymore Mart as they went belly up a couple of years back, got too big for their boots, I believe Reekie is a seperate company again now, possibly going as Scanstone but not sure on that one Cheers Gav......I never relaised Netagco went bust......Maybe Underhaug did get the rights to Reekie products eventually then as I'm sure I've seen Scanstone in relation to their products...... ??? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Can't be certain on the Scanstone bit Mart, I only know about Netagco as they had a few other arms, Netagco Welvent done crop drying floors as we had one fitted and it was a load of trouble, they also got mixed up with Spaldings parts and workshop equipment, both of which are trading in their own right again now I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was along the lines of ex staff of 1 firm taking designs and plans from that firm to the other firm when they changed, ( basically you stole our ideas ) or did they come to an agreement in the end about this ?

That's about as much as I heard mate but I'm sure it did go to court......I've also got a funny feeling the "Campmuir" ex Massey dealer had something to do with the Underhaug brand...... \ \ ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
