SHOW STOPPER

Cornish's release for the Magnum & Steiger range of tractors held in Gilgandra was a real show stopper. Angus Beveridge said "Cornish's went to a lot of time & effort to present a professional night. It's not often these days that these type of nights are organised. The night was well done & a pleasure to attend. "

"It was great to be able to see the new range of Case IH tractors and to have the opportunity to hear from Case IH staff about the new technology that has been introduced into the new tractor range."

Ag Quip 2011 Yet another great year at Ag Quip. Pictured here the fantastic display set up by Case IH & our Cornish's team for our Ag Quip site.

Many people came and had a cuppa and a chat about our exciting range of machinery on offer.

The kids were again happy to play little farmers and ride around on the ride-on tractor toys while Mum and Dad checked out the bigger machinery.

Gilgandra Show a Hit - Cornish's Gilgandra once again displayed some of their products at the local Gilgandra show. Pictured here are some of the items on display - Case IH, Croplands and Dieci.

Following approx 25 to 30 mm of rain the weekend prior to the show the local farming community took the opportunity to come to the show making it one of the largest Gilgandra Shows in recent years. As well as the normal sideshow alley rides, ring events and livestock displays this years show featured a 4 race trotting meeting, sky diving display by local man Ross Stockings, speed shear event with over 50 competitors, wood chopping and a fireworks display to finish the evening.

A real hit with the younger members of our community was the Maxxfarm 25 & Case IH Scout. A number of children had their photo taken either sitting on the Maxxfarm or in the Scout.

All in all the day proved to be very successful and our staff now look forward to attending the Coonamble & Gulargambone shows in the coming weeks.

HARVESTING NEVER EASIER
Terry and Chris Abra (pictured right), from T & C Abra Contract Harvesters based at Curlewis, near Gunnedah had this to say - "Harvesting sorghum recently our Axial-Flow 8120 peaked at 147 tonnes per hour and averaged 110 tonnes per hour with uneven crop conditions. With a good, even crop we could have easily averaged 140 tonnes per hour. The power is impressive too: our 8120 has reached 460 HP. When the power boost kicks in you really notice the difference compared with other machines.

"We prefer the Axial-Flow combines because they give a very good grain sample and they're easy to use and have fewer moving parts so they're easier to maintain and service."

Great Combination This photo was from a recent visit to the Shanks family property @ Marathon (about 20kms North of Dubbo). The family have been in the district since 1914, when Jack's father and uncle moved there from Victoria, and in Jack's words 'living under a pine tree', the conditions must have been harsh, however the family succeeded and the farm is testimony to the hard work and continued effort to improve the systems and processes used on today's property.

Rob (Jack's son) and Ben (one of Rob's sons) run a tidy operation, and in recent weeks have taken delivery of a Magnum 335 c/w GPS Ag A5 as well as a Gyral Sure Strike - early test results would appear to be very good with the combination covering the ground with minimum of effort as well as lowering driver fatigue.

The deal was finalised by our Gilgandra and Narromine branches, with support from GPS Ag and Gyral staff at the installation of the machinery.

March 2009

Case IH 8120 Below is Terry, Chris and Cheryl Abra's new Case IH 8120 Combine. It was delivered in March 2009 and is the first of the new 20 series to be delivered by Cornish's Gunnedah.

Terry had an 8010 prior to this and is very happy with what the new machine has to offer. The machine is quieter and smoother and the new generation 40ft Case IH draper front feeds and performs far better than the previous model. With peak tonnage of 144 ton/hour to date the machine is exceeding the performance of the previous 8010 even with a straw chopper fitted!



2009

DEALER OF YEAR Cornish's have been awarded the dealer of the year award for a second year running. This is a tremendous honour for the staff and testimony to the hard work and dedication of our teams around the region and also to our customers for having the foresight to know that GPS AG is the best and is also supported by a team who care.

Come and talk to one of our friendly staff today for all your autosteer and guidance needs.
