But it seems he was well known and respected to see such a nice gathering off classics to see him off. Thanks for the pics but my condolences to you also on his passing.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil phoenix Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Just found out that Collings Brothers have gone out of business!!! They were CASE dealers for Cambs area for years before being dropped in 2021, and then took on the Deutz brand and had a hugely successful first 24 months selling over 60 tractors, but things have really dried up in the past 6 months, and recently I noticed they had a one year old 7250 Warrior in the last Cheffins sales auction at Cambridge, that sounded alarm bells for me, as if they were a bit desperate for money! Hugely difficult times now for dealers with a perfect storm of sh1t hitting the farming industry. And Suffolk Agri bit the dust as well, another reknowned CASE dealer in the 90s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be more close up before the years out . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
