This owner gets it. Get a crew together. Go heavy duty. Go simple. Add what's needed and nothing more. Anyone that's ever tried to fabricate and invent can relate to a man like this.
Absolutely agree with what you say. Simon is on the right track and I’m sure he is a good businessman by the way he has set his manufacturing up. Best wishes to his success. I wish I had one of those back in the day when I was operating a post hole digger in the hard Mississippi red clay building pasture fences!!
That was informative and fun. I like the point particularly that even a machine that is capable of many tasks and maneuvers doesn't have to be overly complicated. The factory itself seems to operate in that vein. York is one of my favorite cities in the UK. I hope you took the time to check out the Minster and the old town, with the very steep streets. Hoooooooooowever, I am disappointed in this and the last installment, because of their lack of good fodder for snark. Safe travels!
Cool video , so true you don't need a gigantic building to build good stuff. A few good employees and you are set. Y'all enjoy some good fish and chips & brew if y'all are still there. Have a good one & thank you .
Great video and business. Two things I took from it. 1. Paint, the bane of my life good to see paint prep most stuff I buy the paint is off within a year sometimes flaking from new. Powder coating onto rust never works. My 1979 ford tractor lives outside with the original paintwork intact. 2. Staff, plenty of businesses here going under through no staff. It seems a no brainer treat your staff well they will stay, be honest about wages.
You should have seen some of the places I worked in, one especially looked like an Asian shanty town, but we still turned out excellent product. One thing about the UK, one of my favorites AllistairC123 told us on one of his videos that if he concretes his vast yard the council will put up his business rates. Councils are helping cripple businesses rather than helping them improve.
@@Cheesoidhateself solotrak's weren't always built in that building. The business has been built up from small beginnings. Get your facts straight before you go spouting on things you don't know about.
@@johnmorgan-fw3kc sorry there's been some confusion I thought the comment was supposed to be slanderous but you are right we used to make our machines in a very small basic workshop in comparison to how it is now. Getting better every day
So maybe you guys can help me get in contact with someone about these machines. I have tried to make contact but can't seem to get through. I'm interested in purchasing one of these for my business. We need SWI to become a dealer here in the US. 🙂
@SWiFence I should have been clear. I appreciate your quick response to answer my question, and I plan to call your office tomorrow. I look forward to speaking with you all.
Most factories go for an uncluttered setup so they can employ idiots without to much carnage. If you have good people who understandwhat they are doing and how they are going to do it then you can work in a very constrained space quite effectively
No frills… just good solid logic and hard work. My kind of factory!
Thanks for the look-see.
Thanks for watching!

Simons Machines are brilliant, im on my second one
Not as big of factory as you would think can't believe how simple the factory is amazing

Famous now, this machine made it onto Clarkson farm.
Post drivers have been built with dirt floors in a 3 sides sheds
My solotrak was built in a three sided shed. Simon's come on a long way since he started up.
To me That looks more like a typical 4 walled building and I can't help but notice the floor looks more like concrete than dirt.
@Dom Horn
See my profile picture...yeah thats the driver refered to as "built in a 3 sided shed on a dirt floor" the more you know

Another kiwi making his mark here just like Strainrite. Awesome to see.
What is the cost of this unit
Not sure--you'd have to get in touch with them. www.solofencingsystems.com/solotrak

Call the shop: 307-578-8040 and ask for Sarah. Give her your contact info and I'll get in touch with you. 👍🏻
@@SWiFence thanks! I will try to get on that in the morning.

8.14 No it's good Men
Terrible setup, cluttered, and dangerous
WAAAAA 😂
W⚓️
It’s ok the people that work there have common sense. Stick in and you may have some yourself some day

And it works! now get back having tea with your teddy bears.
