    It was on the new p.g.a. course at Polkemmett near Whitburn, but we didn’t even get close to finishing it, as the bank pulled out of the funding a year ago when the recession really bit hard.

    I used to drive with the doors open until I got a shadow on my lung from dust contamination about 15 years ago, hence the doors are now shut and the a/c is flat out!

    I have a D6M and a John Deere 650 LGP, love them both and would not trade them. Though I am a fan of AC and Heat I don’t like looking out the doors. I find I end up opening the doors anyway.

    Thanks, we have a couple of australians working with us over here in Scotland at the moment, I use the 6K for finish shaping tees, greens and bunkers, we use 9R’s & 8R’s for blowing the holes in rough.
    Cheers Patrick

    I like the 6k cos it doesn’t lose power through a converter like most tractors, the tracks just keep turning even under heavy load, on smaller machines like the 6k, hydro-static is the way to go ! Cheers Patrick
