A bit of bank holiday multi-tasking today! Delivering a weeder and transplanter to Stockeld Park after a quick wash, ready for them to begin pumpkin planting 🎃
The 3D printer is working away… can you guess what it’s making??!
Then off to see a man (my dad 😅) about some paint booth heaters… sometimes his hoarding tendencies work in my favour 👌
Home for tea then back up to the workshop to load up ready for traveling south in the morning!

Cracking day yesterday with looking at some new kit. Always a pleasure to meet with founder and absolute legend Aldo Spapperi 😎 who in his 80’s is still busy innovating and putting in more workshop hours than most people half his age, somehow we manage to chat engineering despite neither of us speaking a word of each others language! Great to catch up with the rest of Team Spapperi again and I think young Wilf enjoyed his first factory tour 😁 just need to sneak 9kg of spare parts back in our hand luggage now!!

Day 1 of the trip was all about Lactalign! Visited Farmer Roberto and his family, great to see the Lactalign’s installed in 2024 still going strong after 1.7 million milkings.. not a single breakage 💪 then on to EnneEffe HQ in Cremona, our Boumatic Lactalign distributors for Italy. Now heading South ready for Spapperi in the morning

Family business means family business trip to Italy. Great start…Linz and Wilf are poorly and word to the wise, don’t wash your pushchair with truck wash, apparently there are chemicals in it that create quite a lot of attention at security 💥 🫣 and if you say you live on a farm you just further incriminate yourself. Poor Linz was thoroughly investigated 😆
Still, the sun’s shining and now off to our first farm of the day 👍☀️🐄

It’s been a busy one at JF Hudson Ltd! 🛠️
We took a trip down to Cardiff to get two willow transplanters up and running. What used to take days by hand is now being knocked out in hours. We also stopped by a fantastic community project in Hereford—they’ve got 6 poly tunnels and a big focus on education. It was great to see our transplanter being used to plant out celeriac for such a good cause. 🎓✨
We’re also showing off the Spapperi weeder with hydraulic side-shift—perfect for keeping those rows clean with precision.
What are you lot planting this season? Let us know in the comments! 👇

🥾🥾ONE WEEK TO GO🥾🥾

💙🎒🥾 Coar’s fundraiser for Cure Parkinson’s ⛰️🥾💙
On 8th May this year, some of our team at Coars will be taking on the National Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for Cure Parkinson’s. The challenge involves climbing the three highest mountains in the UK — Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon — all within 24 hours. This means hours of hiking, very little sleep, and driving hundreds of miles between mountains, making it both a physical and mental test for everyone involved.

We’re taking on this challenge because Parkinson’s affects so many people and families, and it’s a cause that means a lot to us personally. Cure Parkinson’s funds ground breaking research focused on slowing, stopping, and ultimately reversing Parkinson’s, and we want to do our small part to help support that mission.

Training, preparation, and the challenge itself will push us well out of our comfort zones, but knowing we’re raising money for such an important cause will keep us going every step of the way. If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, it would mean a huge amount to us and will help support vital research. Thank you so much for your support!
Help us make an impact.
