    Curious to know the same, it’s hard doing a deal over the phone especially on second hand stuff and anytime I went to look at stuff I was always told it was immaculate, until I got there.

    I would say no
    It's not a necessary journey at this time

    Of course, machinery is essential in food production.............

    Of course.


    Once you're driving what does it matter if you go 5 miles or 50 miles?

    Might have been heading off to pick up the new one-pass system :pac:

    Did he have floatation tyres on it? Or dual wheels maybe?

    Was it one of the TVO ones?

    Ah fair play to him. It's nice to see someone taking care of the old machines. Or at least keeping them running


    I've noticed that there aren't that many now for sale. Those old grey ones or even the 35 or 35x used to be 10 a penny. Back in the pre Done Deal days when you had the buyandsell there'd be a few in it every week. You don't see them so much any more. You'll see restored ones now of course. Not as many "cheap" ones though

    If farmers can travel to view cattle does machinery not apply under the same.
    Well according to the journal they can travel to view or purchase cattle😂
