🔹 Powerful Kubota engine
🔹 Full hydraulic dual-drive system
🔹 Strong vibration force for deep soil compaction
🔹 Excellent traction and climbing ability
🔹 Compact size for easier transport and manoeuvrability

Thank you very much again for your continued support👍🏻

Well that’s it for ScotPlant 2026.

As I sit here and wait on Ross Arriving back for the second and last load of the day I would like to take the time to personally thank everyone who has made this year possible and without doubt the best show I’ve ever done. Fantastic conversations with customers old and new, multiple deals done and hands shook on the day with many more demos and leads to chase up on in the coming weeks.. Even managed to get sun burnt in Edinburgh!
Thank you as always to our service support TH Engineering and Clark Mechanical Services Ltd, Sharp Transport for always delivering on time and to my right hand man Ross Aitchison for working so hard this week to help set up and pick up lots of enquiries over the two days. It was lovely to have the young family team there on stand to help us out Harry Aitchison Kerra Grant and get involved and great to see Stuart Taylor get his first handshake on stand with a full XCMG and Rototilt package and many other leads to follow up on this week.

Lastly the final shout out has to be to my wife. She has made all of this possible with her continuous support and belief in what we are doing so a big heart felt thank you to Suzanne Aitchison ❤️.

Looking forward to catching up with you all over the next few weeks and Roll on the next show..

Thank you to everyone again.
