To be honest they’ve become really hard work getting discount! But it doesn’t affect me personally that much as most of the time parts are booked directly to customers accounts although I do try my best to get them a good deal.

I’m seriously considering trying to negotiate better terms if I put all the parts through my account the bill customers for the full job. I could then possibly make a bit on the parts myself but it would mean moving a lot more money around!
Try Bepco for JD parts,ask for Dave, although they aren’t genuine JD Parts, a mate re built his Bateman engine using them

I think i am around 45 minutes from clive. Unfortuantly it's not run by farmers. I won't go in to much detail on here but when you have someone who does not know how to farm telling you to go spraying in a gale and said field is next to a fishing lake and houses is not on. And to save money they are employing cheap young in experienced people who just want to drive 50k everywhere and wreck kit.

That was part of the reason I left them almost 5 years ago, after being there for 7 years on the sprayers you could see what was happening and also where the management were taking the place,

Going downhill and losing money, constant lie's, get promised a bateman and a knight turn's up. All agree on new holland's and get a yard full of massey's [emoji23] pushing out the people who are real workers and not yes men. No communication is a bad point to the list goes on. .
