AGT1060 TRACTOR. COVID-19 & BREXIT UPDATE
Covid-19 and Brexit, but life must go on:
The AGT1060 56hp, Bi-Directional Alpine tractor is now available with a choice of cabs. A ‘semi cab’ with four post frame, roof, front and rear windscreens. Full cab with heater or with air-conditioning. The AGT1060 with roll bar is in stock and available for demonstration. This ‘next generation’ AGT tractor a delight to both look at and to drive. The AGT1060 comes with all the features & options you would expect and still with the great price synonymous all Agromehanika products.
Brexit impact. Prepare for Brexit the government rammed down our throats and at last the ‘deal’ was done. Four years of delays and uncertainty and then Covid-19 meant that few businesses could fully prepare. However, the real issues have been two-fold. Customs clearance delays due to existing customs agencies being overwhelmed, coupled with a lack of HMRC customs staff. Parcel companies such as TNT, DPD, DHL having a large number of small packages with incorrect / incomplete customs forms and some routing ‘hubs’ in mainland Europe being closed down due to Covid-19. Resulting in parcels ‘stuck in transit’ with no hope of being moved onwards. Things are gradually improving, and we are doing our best. Please be understanding and patient if your order has been delayed.
Covid-19 is sadly still running riot in the UK, Europe and the vast majority of countries. I am grateful to be in the industry we are, and my heart goes out to companies and people who have been hit far harder. I hope we can all retain a level of tolerance for those with a somewhat cavalier attitude to the pandemic and to also take the time to support those less fortunate.
Very few countries have handled Covid-19 well and it is easy to criticise those in charge. It is easy for anyone, myself included, to say they should have done better. However, to err is human & I hope that people will continue to consider that we have all played a part in ‘creating’ the world we now live in and trade in.
Hats off to Australia and New Zealand where their governments handling of Covid-19 has resulted in lives and economies being in a far better state that the UK and countless other countries. Clearly there are benefits of being ‘island nations’ and having strict Bio-security policies & controls at the point of entry for both goods and people.
The vast majority of countries have retained border controls and if you were / are willing to pay the price then trade and travel has continued and will continue with the farthest reaches of the globe. Being a member of the EC bought with it the Schengen Agreement, resulting in internal border checks for travel and goods being largely abolished. For the consumer it meant almost unrestricted movement of people, goods and sadly Covid-19. To err is human so once again I hope that people will continue to consider that we have all played a part in ‘creating’ the world we now live in and trade in. If we all make a small number of changes then there is no reason why the future cannot be far better than the past.

Here is an article about Riko - Palms forestry trailers and cranes that appeared in the April 2020 issue of Forestry Journal Magazine. Forestry Journal is probably the oldest UK magazine for the industry and still a good read. Available on line and in good old fashioned paper. www.forestryjournal.co.uk

A message from Stephen Cabrol, owner / director of Riko UK Ltd.

I am sure we could all have a very long discussion about this, but the bottom line is that we have all played a part in ‘creating’ the world we now live in and trade in.

We have all enjoyed access to produce and products from across the world. Just as many of us have enjoyed ‘low cost travel’ to all parts of the world. It is unquestionable that the ease of both Global trade and Global travel have helped bring all nations of the world closer together.

However, everything comes at a price and the speed at which COVID 19 has spread is one such price, as is the damage we are inflicting on the world we all live on. It is now time for the individual to stop ‘passing the buck’ and instead acknowledge that we all share the responsibility.

When we come out the other side of this terrible event, then perhaps we will all have had time to reflect. And hopefully we will all consider the consequences of our previous actions. We all have a responsibility to start undoing the damage we have done to each other and the world we all share.

Strathbogie Forest & Gardens open day in May was a great success and 3 months later the orders are still coming in. The latest shipment was for two of the very popular Farmi WP36 road tow firewood processors along with a road tow Split-Fire 4403 log splitter. Both the Farmi processors were with 10-ton splitting force. The Split-fire 4403 has 32ton two-way splitting. If you have never tried a Split-Fire log splitter then you simply wont have experienced just how great these splitters are. The proof is in the trying so why not get in touch with Riko to arrange a demonstration. If you are in the Aberdeen area then why not give Pete at Strathbogie Forest & garden a call.

You would probably be surprised if you heard that someone had sold something for £17 to £22 if it is worth £50-£60. You would no doubt question their sanity if it turned out to be worth £300-£375. And yet it is exactly what can happen when someone logs up a piece of timber that is of milling quality! The piece of timber in this picture is 3 meters long and 36cm diameter and equates to 0.31m3 of timber. If its softwood then sold as logs its worth around £17-£22, if it’s hardwood then sold as logs its worth around £25-£31. However, the same piece of timber can be sawn into four 10cm X10cm X 3m posts & two 25mm X 100mm X 3m boards and as softwood could be worth £50-£60 or as hardwood the value could be £100-120. If you are prepared to spend the extra time cutting it into Waney-Edge cladding boards, then the total value for Cedar is around £110-£130. Hard as it might be to believe but if its Oak and you cut it into 25mm X 125mm X 3m boards and air dried, it could be worth £300-£375!

To rub salt into the wound they may have even spent over £8,000 on a firewood processor to turn it into logs when a £3,150 Riko Timbery M100 sawmill would enable them to mill it.

A great picture sent into us from one of our National Trust customers. This particular trust has recently upgraded their winch from a manual Uniforest 35M to an electro hydraulic 40HPRO for use on the back of their Agromehanika Kranj AGT850. Steve has said, "The wireless remote is great as I do a lot of work in wet woodland or on riverbanks so it makes my life so much easier!"
In addition, the neighbouring trust has also recently purchased an AGT850 with INO Flail mower.
Many thanks to the National Trust for their on going business
