Jock Bryce takes first Highland gold

THE Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland awarded its first gold medal to the Bryce Suma Profi post driver.

No stranger to show awards Jock Bryce has previously won a silver and certificate of commendation. The Suma Profi features a 376kg hammer and there is a combined side and back shift allowing posts to be kept in line with the telescopic mast without having to move the tractor.

Independent hydraulic legs provide stability on sloping ground and there is no need to alter the tractor linkage between fence posts.

Silver medals went to Manitou for the Manihoe backhoe loader with a telescopic boom, Quickdfencer for their wire netting unrolling tool that can be combined with a post driver. The Novacat 306 Alpha Motion front mounted mower conditioner from Pottinger was also among the silver. So too was Ecoroder with the 230 diesel ATV bike and JG Middleton for the drive through quad gate.

Certificates of Commendation were awarded to Scot seat Direct for their Horse Shuttle and BD Supplies for the Dura Bull mineral feeder.
