Hardworking handler

Posted: 07 May 2021

All telehandlers work hard, especially on dairy farms. But 4,000hr in two years is an impressive tally in anybody’s book. Jim Kirk, who runs the family farm with his father and brother-in-law, says second to the rotary parlour it’s the most important machine on the farm.“Until we bought the CLAAS SCORPION, we were relying on two tractors and loaders" comments Jim Kirk. “While that had the benefit of the loaders being able to work in two different places, eventually we got to the stage that, without a telescopic, we kept having to compromise.”
