Title: Ceredigion/Pembs compact tractor?
Post by: martcol on April 23, 2019, 11:16:21 am
Bit of a strange request....

My wife and I are in our first year of smallholding near Aberaeron. I think we're going to buy a compact tractor, possibly a kubota of some sort. I wonder if there are any members in the Ceredigion or Pembs area who'd be prepared to spare me a half an hour for a chat, perhaps show me their tractor and tell me the basics?

I'm happy to fit in with your schedule and drive to you pretty much any time.

Yes, i will be speaking to dealers as well, but I thought speaking to real people as well as salespeople might help!

Thanks, in advance.

My son has a little Kubota he would be pleased to show you, we are sign posted off the A487 past Synod Inn (no it is NOT for sale!)

Oh, that is brilliant (apart from it not being for sale.... ;) ). What is the best way to get in touch?

We have an AGT Alpine tractor (which may be OTT unless you have steep land). Happy to show you/discuss if you're ever out this way (Between Carmarthen/Llandeilo). Not for sale either!

Henchard,

Apologies, I missed this. As it happens, we do have some steep land. I may take you up on that offer, but I think I'm going to do some more research first. We went to see 'Me' this morning and learned a lot about what we want, and what we don't want!

Many thanks for your reply. If I may, I'll get in touch by pm when I've done a bit more research?
