Machinery World darts champ Scott scores a bullseye for New Holland »»It was a bulls eye for New Holland Agriculture when world darts champion Scott Mitchell decided to spend his £100,000 winnings on a tractor for his dad’s farm. Scott and his father, Jeff, have now taken delivery of a quality used New Holland T5060. The tractor was recommended to the Mitchells by Ben Best at New Holland’s partner agricultural dealer ,C&O Tractors. A small but powerful tractor, the 106hp T5060 is agile enough to be used in and around the yard, but can also be ballasted up to a maximum of 6800kg, and so is ideally suited to ploughing or heavy draft work.

My dad has always been so supportive. It would have been impossible for me to have done what I’ve done without him. Winning the world darts championship changed my life and it’s nice that I can help him out too.” Ben Best of C&O Tractors said: “The New Holland T5060 fitted their bill perfectly. It is a powerful but versatile machine, which should meet all of the challenges that Mr Mitchell wants to throw at it.” New Holland Accounts Manager, Graham Gleed,added: “We are delighted that Scott has chosen a New Holland tractor for his father. His BDO World Championship win took place just a few miles from our Basildon manufacturing plant and we have been monitoring events ever since.” Sovereign Agricultural Services Ltd YORKSHIRE HANDLERS The Best Solution for Materials Handling Covering Yorkshire for both agricultural Contact us on T: 01484 603 682 F: 01484 604 782 E: [email protected] Woolrow Lane, Shelley, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, HD8 8LW Basic, simple & reliable - 2 year warranty 01904 489 988 www.yorkshirehandlers.co.uk Unit 4/5, Fryers Close, Murton Lane, Murton, York YO19 5UY 92 Apr/May 2015 www.farmers-mart.co.uk Drum or oil immersed brakes; 2WD or 4WD; rollbar or cab; 37, 47 or 60 HP, Classic or modern styling.
