Really nice looking website, very professional looking with relevant info.
A not-so-professionall comment: more pics of tractors and machinery are always nice.
I see you rent out machinery, with or whitout driver. You must have some confidence in your customers ability not to wreck your stuff!
Would be nice to read even more on your eco-till program on that website also.
I must say I am impressed with the customerservice of SIMBA. A asked, online, for a brochure and they sent me a really big package of interesting machinery- and soilmanagement litterature. (Of coure I realize the cost of this extensive overseas shipping will be passed on to customers such as mr Sutton, but still good for me)

cheers laapa,
so basically more pictures would suit. Well they will eventually but with that site was limited to one picture per page. HOWEVER!!!!! - there will be a link to another site purely for pictures soonish! although I have got to get the pictures first.
so really the layout and text is ok? just more pics for the machinery guys is required.
the eco-till site will be developed but not until harvest time as I waiting for our crops to be cut then I will have some definate results of what eco-tillage offers - good or bad!

Sounds great, I think it will be an interesting and informative site to visit.
Say, is it just me or has mr Wodbeef been awfully quite lately?

yep woodbeef's been very very quiet indeed. I needed his back up on the fwi site as it appears there are two lee suttons!
the other one has taken offence to my opnions on machinery prices and is posting rubbish about me saying that he wants to distance himself from me as I am causing trouble.
the guys a bit of a plonker really as he cant quite grasp the fact that a forum is for discussion!
I wonder where mr beef is then?

Yep,I'm here guys. Been kinda busy my mother in law passed away on Friday. She lived 3 hours away so we've been running back and forth since Tuesday when she became palative. Tomorrow is the funeral.
Really though I thought I'd let you two guys run up some stats!!
Lee (Mr. Jr member Sutton) your site really looks good,epecially that tracked Claas(sure beats Cat yellow in my book) Man I did not know you guys were so diversified!! I'm a tad bit surprised though that you rent your kit with out operator.
I'll head over to FWI and put in my totally unbiased as ever opinion on this Lee Sutton scandal!! was he the one who posted the apology? Is he a Deeroid by any chance?

Cheers simon and woodbeef for the backup. So to hear about your mother in law woodbeef. As far as the FWI problem, I think its all been sorted as I have been onto FWI constantly to sort it out.
Actually in JD's favour they've been back here again trying to get us to buy one. They are looking at lots of different options for us - mainly with the finance side of things. They are actually very kean to sell more units around here. But its just so expensive. I mean £90,000 for a machine that will work for about 16 weeks a year. I could go out to a local village and buy a house for £90k and then get some rent off it.
I think we will stick with the challenger as weve got to cover about 3000 acres this summer. the extra power up front will allow us to keep a constant speed going!

Hey Lee did JD mention anything about a Quadtrac copy? I went to see a farmer today who said JD are about announce one, no doubt it will be far superior to everything alse and all original JD design  Cheers Simon |

Woodbeef or anybody for that matter,
I need to know about 'metatags' to get my web site listed with search engines etc. What are they exactly and how do I go about sorting out my problem!

Lee,they are the hidden words that you want your site to be linked to,when a search is done. That's how they find what your site is about. I'll put you in touch with someone who can help you out. Check your email..... Do you know about dmoz.org You can submit your sites once you find the correct category for them. Is it just me or is FWI becoming kinda stodgy of late? |
