    Watching to go myself on Saturday too. Have gone to last 4 events i think. A day out while things are quiet here. Easier than the Ploughing too. Wouldn't be mad into gear but like to see where technology is heading. Have purchased a few small items off stands in past. Grub in the restaurant isn't too bad. Just get in early. Online tickets only 15 as opposed to 20 at the door. Must check it out in morning.

    The online tickets could only be bought till Wednesday night :(

    Hoping to head up along, it's more just the break away from the place is as good as anything else, plus it satisfies the heavy metal disease :p

    We got our new loader at a couldn't refuse price as was a new model and not many in country as long as dealer could bring folk over to try... Sold 5 in 11 months and working on 6th after in an area no other models from brand were present previous. With plenty of others after having a look and lliking what they saw down the line..
    One good machine in on farm condition locally performing well is worth lot of 1/4 pages ads in The journal etc..
