A visit to R. A. Stevens Contracting
While Olivia was over in Devon, she called in to Ricki Stevens to find out how his contracting business has grown since he started out in 2012.
A catch up with our Kirstie!
On the day before the slurry ban kicks in we snuck off to visit our Kirstie as she is flat out on the Dodo pump with L.J. Millar & Sons!
Checking out Stuart Partners Ltd.
Olivia travelled over to Devon to meet Troy Stuart from Stuart Partners Ltd and got chatting to him about how his maize season has gone, among a variety of other services his business' provides.
Beating the slurry ban with Wilson Bros Contracts
On the last days before the slurry ban kicks in Donkey chats to David from Wilson Bros contracts about their bespoke nurse tank and some other unique services the business offers!
Case Puma 175 at Carsehall Farm
It’s the last bit of grass for 2020 and Gazza is in his element in the Case Puma 175 alongside Lyons Contracts with the demo John Deere 9900i
IMAGINE Baling in October!
We just can't say goodbye to the grass yet! We hooked the Case 175 onto the McHale Fusion Pro and went to join McKay with his very own Fusion and his latest addition to the fleet. As far as we're aware the Case 175 and John Deere 155R are pretty much eacthother's closest match so Donkey does some comparing out in the field!
McConaghy Contracts Test the JCB 419s Stage V!
Last week we left the JCB 419s Stage V up to McConaghy Contracts for a demo, we got chatting to Andrew McConaghy about their thoughts on the machine, as well as what's been happening with the business!
R&G McKnight Round Off the Season
At the start of the week we paid a visit to Gavin McKnight who was finishing off the summer chopping his own grass in Parkgate, Co. Antrim. Recently he's been having a go on the Reiter Merger and has also been using the KTwo trailer so we were keen to know his thoughts. Plus, we can't call it quits on grass season without a visit to these guys!
Ploughing at Country Crest!
We kept the best for last...depending on what you like. We filmed Country Crest's mighty Fendt 939 along with our John Deere 6250R ploughing on a beautiful day a couple of years ago. What a pair they make! ?
A look at Eastern Farms
We travelled over to Cambridgeshire a couple of weeks ago to visit Eastern Farms, and got to chat with owner Charles Leadbetter who gave us an insight into how the business has snowballed to where it is today.
Meeting Emma in the JD 9RX
We travelled over to Cambridgeshire to have a chat with Emma Walsh about how she got into the agricultural world while she was out in the John Deere 9RX on a Vaderstad TopDown.
