A huge steel structure dominated the Robinsons Steel Structures corner stand. The company has recently rebranded following a name change from Robinson Construction. Its new look better reflects the company’s expertise in fabrication and erection of steel structures, said Henry Robinson.

Marc and Jenny Shepherd of MW Shepherd are pictured with a Twose rake grass seeder.
This one has been sold to Wilson Authorpe. The stand featured “a bit of everything” said
Mr Shepherd. “Customers like us to be here. Even if they can’t make it to the show themselves
I often get calls asking what we are taking!”

Robert Crawford & Son was promoting the Satrak tracker and immobiliser units at the show.
Robert Crawford junior (pictured) explained that with a recent spate of tractor thefts in the
county there had been plenty of interest in the unit. It can be fitted to any tractor and when
set up will text the owner if the machine travels beyond the confines of the farm or above a
pre-set maximum speed or if it is moving but not running (ie if it has been loaded onto a lorry).
The unit costs £550 plus a fitting cost of £100 plus VAT.

Marton Shackcloth, UK Berthoud sales manager was on hand on the Boston Crop Sprayers

that can be turned and angled to suit the individual crop. Mr Shackcloth is pictured with the
Fructair Ti 1500.

The product was launched at the Cornwall Show where the response was “amazing”
said production director Neil Gratton. The crush offers maximum safety for the operator,
he explained. “All controls are away from the crate itself.” The crush was on offer for
£7,500 plus VAT.
