I know someone years ago got demo or hire I can't remember which, of a tractor from HRN, before it went back the said machine had everything was removable swapped with their own tractor. Bulbs, fuses, tyre valve caps. Ariel. The fkahing beacon It was said even the air I the tyres were swapped and if they could've have swapped paint they would have.! It was like a scene from the A Team when they used to strip down vehicles!!!

I wouldn't consider working lights to be a specifically high standard.
Fair enough on a 40 yr old David Brown but it's not an unreasonable ask on a 10 year old tractor.

I dont want to work in the dark.
I have looked at agritrac tractors online before and got the feeling there for export, as in send them somewhere else to get bodged up. I wouldn't expect too much from them. But I didn't buy it.

The clue is in the name Agritrac Exports!
They were a stand alone depot near Stirling but seem to be listed as part of HRN on the website now.
And there I was thinking Yorkshiremen were tight......it`s always been a bit nip and tuck with the Scots... looks a bit like they`re edging in to the lead though..

Only if it’s unreasonable to expect the buyer to travel and view. In this case it wasn’t.
You can’t just reject something because you couldn’t be bothered to view.

Am I reading this right?
Please correct me if I’m wrong
Man rings up for tractor, gets told clocks been changed and declined it.
Then a week later buys tractor knowing clocks changed but for less money.
Then tries to take company to court because clocks been changed.

I thought it was at Stirling?
If it was Agritrac more likely Stirling which is a couple of hours less.

He never mentioned the clock in his list of faults
My take on it...
1) significant water ingress from the cab roof hatch due to badly corroded hinges - large amounts of water coming in whenever it rained.
Hmm, they should've mentioned it but doesn't affect working order.
2) seat collapsing (wiring fault)
Not sure what he means tbh. Collapsing implies airbag. If it was wiring fault it wouldn't pump up in the first place.
3) heater controls inoperable
Again they should've mentioned it but the tractors still working
4) front loader grab inoperable (wiring fault and solenoid fault)
He can't use the third service, tractor's not in working order.
5) washer motor inoperable
As 1 and 3
6) 5 light/indicator bulbs out (yes 5!)
As 1 and 3, but ffs if they can't put a few bulbs in...
7) low engine oil
As above
8) no door keys for the cab
Probably didn't come to them with door keys, no big deal.
9) hitch mirror cracked
Nit picking, but annoying on top of everything else.
10) radio inoperable - the water ingress had killed it
As previously, they should've mentioned it but the tractors still working.
I'd have moaned about it a bit and then said, I can't use it without the third service, send me a solenoid and we'll call it quits.
Then I'd have made a mental note to avoid them in future.
It could all be put right for less than the discount on the original price, if he can do it himself. But they should have been honest then he had the choice of whether he wanted to go to that trouble.

Just saying people like to hide behind flimsy laws and throw the whole not fit for purpose thing around when they’ve not done their own job properly

Id say it's lucky to even still have the hitch mirror there. Most would have thrown it away and then it wouldn't be broken
