IF IT'S not blue, it just won't do – that seems to be the motto for the Stirling family's farming units of Dickmontlaw, Gilchorn and Seahills, near Arbroath. This week they got a new fleet of 14 New Holland T7 Tractors, supplied by Agricar, from its Forfar branch. The Stirling family used to have Massey Fergusons up until 1992, but have been 'all blue' since then. Ian Stirling said that all the machines have telematics fitted which will allow for them to be monitored for servicing and performance across a five-year warranty: "That means we'll know exactly what the running costs will be for that five-year period," he said.
