May saw DJB Machinery at the Arb Show in Westonbirt, Gloucestershire. We spent a few days travelling up beforehand with lots of equipment, getting everything set up for the show in some pretty bad conditions due to heavy rain a few days before. However, the success of the show made it worth it. Luckily, the sun came out and we had fantastic weather and amazing burgers from Wefumo! We couldn’t ask for a better weekend for it!

As with most of our shows we took a huge range of our equipment and machines with us. This was the first time we were able to show our new line of products from Rabaud and TP, having only just started out as being importers for them. They are both a great addition to our growing range of forestry, firewood and agricultural equipment.

The guys from Wefumo did a great job of keeping everyone happy and fed with their burgers. Even making a jam and peanut butter burger. All washed down with free drinks of course.

Probably one of the main attractions on our stand was the Cormidi C85 Skid Steer. Having a narrow width of only 83.7cm this machine is capable of fitting through most garden gateways.

Previously these machines had very long lead times and many customers have been patiently waiting for their return. Luckily, the delivery turned up three weeks prior to the show and we fortunately had some stock left to take down with us. We will hopefully be getting a new delivery very soon.

A few hours before the last trip down to the show we managed to get our delivery of Coup’eco hedge cutters so were able to take them with us. The ‘do not touch’ signs on the blade cutters only tempted people to want to touch them, with one elderly gentleman having to be told more than once to, ‘please don’t touch that’. Luckily he left with all his fingers attached still.

The next show we have lined up is the Highland Show in Scotland so more on that very soon.
