Verdict
Mr Mauro concludes: "The decision to contract hire the smaller (100hp) tractors we use for harvesting and planting, has to date proved to be successful. The new John Deere 6100M tractors have so far done everything we have expected of them.
"I would have no hesitation using them in the future, as long as we can continue to negotiate a contract hire agreement which suits the needs of our business."
