    I might go but it will be in the afternoon 2 or half 2 when I'd get there.
    Would everything be over at that stage?

    A bit strange cross never branched out in to grass forage machinery .In fairness i think his machinery is well made with strong steel .His tillage machinery would be selling into a depressed market!!!
    Would he have a big set up with many people working for him?

    It's so small and built like a tank it must be for harvesting and chopping thick willow?

    Edit: or a sugarcane harvester.

    It's hard to know.
    I thought I heard somewhere that they developing a sugarcane harvester?
    But any harvester on YouTube has a conveyor putting the stalk in the trailer and a chute for the tops.

    Guess we'll know soon enough.
    It might be a white elephant to throw people off some other project they're working on.:p
