Monday 24th May

A new arrival! The replacement for our 2004 979-AT arrived today, a 979-CT. There have been a few changes since we purchsaed a 979-CT in 2008, but in the main they are identical. It is a huge cost buying machinery that we use for a few weeks of the year, but we have little choice. The fact that we put 1000 to 1500 acres through each machine per year, we have to update them on a regular basis. The cost has increased a lot in recent years, but is really a factor of the rising cost of materials, and currency fluctuations. Anyway, we have it and we will work it. The boys will go to PMC in Fakenham next month for some operator training so they can hit the ground running.
