Yes it was sold in working order the man said it had no mechanical faults

Has the vendor tried to get it going?

There’s not much to go wrong with a tractor that has been sitting in a yard for two days that can’t be fettled in 15 minutes.
Unless, of course, it’s been damaged or the vendor was lying.

 

[fiat 9090]

Thanks for all your replies a lot of information about auctions has been aired ,

In that case rightly or wrongly the purchaser has grounds for complaint.
I never put gwo on anything even if it’s perfect

But it was sold in working order and was working at point of sale, it becomes the responsibility of the purchaser at hammer fall, he even has to insure it from that point against fire or theft or just take it on the chin, if it had been interfered with the responsibility was down to him .

Nonsense.

Some tractors are so ruined that they can only be coaxed in to life with eight cans of easy start and a hot, fizzy shot of 24V before the sale, so they're seen to be running.

That does NOT mean they were in good running order. That is not the buyer's fault, and if the the tractor was given out as being in 'good working order', it was a lie. The sale is void.

Literally never heard of it.

Auction or no auction, fraud is severely looked down upon... and giving an inaccurate description of a saleable good for financial gain is fraud.

 

[Dave W]

I’ve had cause to complain about 2 items sold in gwo over the last year. One lot was refunded and the other, the vendor agreed to pay for a new bearing @ £140 as it was a genuine oversight on his part

So its 'good' working order now? if it was sold as working ie running then it was his problem.

Working order means it works.

Go to court and tell the judge the tractor you sold, that won't start, is in 'working order'. See how far you get.

 

[fieldfarmer]

This is how I understand it from our local agents.

So if it was working upon the fall of the hammer but not gathered up for afew days and was open to being tampered with who's responsibility is it then?

Answer - it's the buyers responsibility on the fall of the hammer.

Can you send me a link please and I will.

 

[Dave W]

Can you send me a link please and I will.

No because I don’t know where the tractor in question was sold.
This is an extract from York catalogue

 

[fieldfarmer]

Yea I understand. so with out the terms for the sale in question we wont really know.

 

[Rowland]

a neighbour has sold a tractor at an auction ,the tractor was running perfectly while it was been sold but when the man came to collect it 2 days later it wouldn't start he now wants to throw it up what's the story does he have to take it back , by the way the buyer is a friend of the auctioneers

Why won’t it start? Is it something simple? Flat battery, no fuel, someone’s messed around with it ?
