farmernick06 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Brilliant pics Bas.... looks like a stunning unit... can I ask what the brush is for I think it's for brushing muck off the cows Mark as they walk by it kind of brushes the side of them. I may well be wrong though. Looks like a modern unit they have there, some nice kit too \ Thanks for posting Bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
