    Best bit of kit you brought this year ?

    What's the best thing you brought this year, doesn't need to flash n expensive, just cool & does what it says on the tin.


    For me would have to be the Garmin Crony, finally bit the bullet & got one few months back, what an awesome easy to use unit, cheers Garmin

    Garmin Chrony. Love it. Great tool.

    Also, not kit strictly, but first tried some Targex bullets this year. Excellent bullets and, bonus, Kiwi made.

    Yeah, with modern tractors with front wheel suspension having over 20 grease nipples, and feed out wagons having more than that they certainly take the drudgery out of a necessary task.

    Garmin chrono been mentioned a lot - echo those thoughts. Bit of kit I got this year that has changed things the most for me - MTN Gear gas refill adapter.

    Simple, easy bit of kit to consolidate all your half empties and then buy a big donor cannister. Game changer.

    The gas transfer valve is a great bit of kit but I think MNTgear are taking the piss a bit at $30.
