Speaker 1 (00:01):
This interview brought to you by Agress Center South Branches
in Laurnville, Gore, Cromwell, Milton, and ranfully dropped by your
local Agress Center South branch today.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Shane Brown is club vice president of the Central Southland
Vintage Machinery Club and joins us this afternoon on the muster. Shane, good, afternoon,
great to chat.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yeah, here you getting on Andy, Yeah, pretty good.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Now, firstly, the Central Southland Vintage Machinery Club. We know
there's a few of these clubs still in existence around
the South. Tell us about you got you guys, about
what you do at your one and what's involved.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
No, that's all good. Yep. We're based at Winton where
there's old dairy factory there on the corner. That's where
we're based. Is. I think there's a pretty good following.
We've got sixty sixty odd members. We've got a big
group of young, younger members which helps us along. Yeah,
and we're just working on a fundraising raffle at the
(01:02):
moment for a new storage display.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Sheheed, good to see you've got young members in there.
Do you hear issues trying to treat younger people to
come along and being involved with things like this.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah, yeah, it is. It is easier said than done.
But no, we've probably got a better dozen younger ones,
which is which is pretty good because it is traditionally
an older, older person's game. But I know we've got
a good crew and it helps for getting these big,
big jobs and big missions completed.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
What have you got in there as such as far
as old gear.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Well, there's there's a bit of everything, to be fair.
We've got from old old trader's bulldozer's machinery, we old
telephone exchange, lawnmowers, do you name it. It's it's there,
but it is. It is impact and that's the whole
whole idea of what we're doing is once we get
a new display shed, we can put a heap of
(01:57):
machinery over there and then sitting out the stuff and
the dairy factory and make it a lot easier to
get around and see what's gone down.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Well, it's the old adage, isn't it. If you've got
a sixteen mil spanner and some CRC, you can make
anything work.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
And a pair of ice scripts.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
A pair of ice scripts are maybe some bond to tie.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, so no, we've got to go it's good. We've
got a good crew, and yeah, we're just expanding. Really,
I guess you could say it's what happens in time.
A lot of people donate machinery and stuff to us,
and we don't like to say no, but sometimes when
you don't have room for it, it's best to go
somewhere else and not be in a shed, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
And I dare say, well, everybody's got something of a
certain vintage as far as I don't know, implements for
the farm in their backyard as well, so it's quite
good they're keen to donate to you guys to keep
it all the life.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah, that's the thing. A lot of farms have changed.
Farming has changed a lot. There's a lot of farms
have changed hands, a lot more, a lot more sort
of what we just say, old sheep and bee farms
turning into just dairy runoffs and things like that, clearing sales.
And then there's some old machinery that's been lying around
forever in sheets and stuff, and then they instead of
(03:07):
seen it the scrap, they'll give us the opportunity to
take it on. So we ended say, we do try
to take it on and we've probably got too much
of it is for the storage we've got, but no,
that's what it.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Is, right. So the shed you're building, tell us about it,
what's involved.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
So we're building. It's an alpine building shed. It's I
think it's fifty meters by twelve or fourteen meters wide,
so it's a decent sized shet. You know. We've there
was a big standard maka kafas there. We've cleared them
off and got all the site where it ready, We've
bought the poles and got them standing and now we're
just at the next stage really, So that's that's why
(03:43):
we've started this raffle and I work for Egriscenta South
and talk to them and see Nates and Zealand and
they've we've all come to the plan and worked out
getting a tractor and raffling it off essentially.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
So you're raffling a tractor off. It's a hell of
a price, well it is it is.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
It's a base price of one hundred and seventy five
thousand for the tractor and loader, but the brand new
six cylinder one hundred and twenty five fall Spare said,
it's quite a quite a prize and yeah, so that's
what that's where we're at.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
And how many tickets do you hope to sell?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Oh, I think we've got the three thousand, two hundred tickets.
It's yeah, it's got to go through the Lotteries Commission
and that you've got eyes to dot and teast to cross.
So but yeah, we've got that, We've got that sort
of They went under way. It was last Sunday, Sunday morning,
I think it started. And yeah, seems like they're taking
away pretty good now.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And what what's the ticket worth?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
That one hundred dollars ticket? But the olds are pretty
good at three.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Oh, it's better than winning that blood and Lotto drawl
last week.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Well, I didn't win with my ticket neither.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
They just suck you into that thing, don't they. But
I mean, hell, who doesn't want to win? Win? Who
does not want to win a track the worth one
hundred and seventy.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
K Well, that's right, that's right. I need to be honest.
If if you're not in the market for a track
there and you buy it, you'll find someone pretty quick
to buy one.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I do say you will. At the moment, things are
pretty buoyant in the real sector as you were to see.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, now they think they've picked up which has been
good lately, and think all the aspects of the industry
are looking pretty good for a change.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Right, So somebody wants tickets to win a new track
there at one hundred dollars a pop, which doesn't bad
odds concidering us it's three thy two hundred tickets. So
where do they go and get some details? If I want
to find tickets.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
So they can go on to it's been marketed on
the market, no market. What you've got Facebook in there
at the moment it's online. You can go to www
dot win a tractor, dot co, dot indeed. Yeah, so
it's pretty easy to find and you go on to
the onto the site and just follow the prompts. Yeah,
(05:50):
so that's how we're working that.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
So you guys have a Facebook page as such.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Yep, yep, they've been the subs a Facebook page and
everything to see if it's just sharing, sharing it as
well on their on their face.
Speaker 2 (06:02):

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yep, Site Triple three. I think on Friday, the thirteenth
of February.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
What happens if you get on? But what happens if
you get unprecedented demand? Would you do another run of tickets?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Well, we can't. What's the way the commission work, Actually can't.
If you were to do that, you would have to
start again. There is a lot in it too, don't
get me wrong with no. Absolutely we've we've since figured
out there's been a committee of three or four of
us and we've there's been a of a lot of
time going to it. But no, I we'll see how
this one goes.
Speaker 2 (06:41):

to give you guys a couple of tickets. You just
want to give them away or do a bit of
a thing with them on the radio. It's up to
