McIntosh & Son, Albany, parts superviser David Clark (left), sales consultant Warren Hunt and service manager Chris Bodily in front of the New Holland T5.100 S with a 535LA loader attached. The loader fits the tractor's chassis and was built in Orange, New South Wales. The tractor has 100 horsepower and had been sold to a client at Mt Barker. Mr Bodily joined the Albany team three years ago from Wongan Hills and said he enjoyed the environment at work as well as the region. The constant workflow has kept him busy and sees the workshop bulging at the seams. Mr Hunt joined the Albany team two years ago and has taken on the smaller tractor market up to 120hp as well as linkages, slashes and sprayers. Mr Hunt services a variety of farming operations in the region, including smaller farms, hay makers and orchardists.
