YORK AUCTION CENTRE ENTHUSIASTIC NEW YEAR DEBUT FOR NEW YORKSHIRE AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY SHOW Chris Berry meets Richard Tasker at York Auction Centre to hear about this welcome addition to the farming event calendar. There was a time when farm machinery events run by individual dealerships proliferated all around Yorkshire. Indeed, they formed a social calendar for farmers and farming families in January and February, providing many with their first main events of the year, as well as being an excellent platform for exhibiting tractors, combines and many other new products to be viewed – often for the first time ever. But while a few of the local shows still do exist, sadly, those run by the likes of Gough’s of Hunsingore, John H. Gill & Son and RBM Agricultural are long since gone. This year, however, a brand new show is being launched, designed to bring Yorkshire’s farm machinery dealerships - and the national manufacturers they represent – all together in one place at a central location in the county. The timing is significant too, with the UK’s largest farm machinery event having moved further south. Yorkshire’s first-ever multi-farm machinery manufacturer and dealership event, the Yorkshire Agricultural Machinery Show, launches at the York Auction Centre on Wednesday 5 February. Organiser Richard Tasker, partner at York Auction Centre and the man who has become synonymous with York Machinery Sales, held regularly throughout the year, says he has been very pleased with the encouraging, positive response from exhibitors. “We had no idea what to expect when we initially decided to put on this event,” said Richard. “We have run extremely successful farm machinery sales here at Murton for many years but this is a completely new challenge and we have been amazed at just how much everyone is embracing it. “It has shown the enthusiasm that exists amongst those who sell new machinery, that so many have come forward and taken trade stands. 01R66B NRH ENGINEERING LTD MANUFA MANUFACTURERS MANUFACTURERS FACTURERS FA BUILT OF BRITISH BUILT BUIL LT AGRICULTURAL GRICULTURAL LTURAL AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY MACHINERY ACHINERY Available in either 20" or 24" Rings with or without Breakers Standard Range – 3.0m 4.3m 5.3m 6.3m Heavy Duty Range – 6.3m 7.3m 8.3m • 5 Section – 9.3m 10.3m 12.3m 15.3m A high quality range of hydraulic folding rollers made in the UK from top quality materials All models are fully hydraulic, no reversing or bars to remove The NRH range also includes: front presses • trailed presses • furrow presses • subsoilers • drill combinations • coil packer c/w star cleaners Brian Robinson Machinery welcomes you to the show and looks forward to seeing you The local Agricultural Engineers and Machinery Dealer for North Yorkshire and the North East since 1982.
