Camebridge to Cornwall

[trev7530]

Looking to buy at tractor at Cambridge machinery sale, looking to get it back to Cornwall

 

[Strawgalore]

Get it bought , then worry about getting it home !

 

[SPTLTD]

When you have team spt and team strawgalore the haulage is the easy bit....... Buying on auction will be the difficult part

 

[trev7530]

Any ideas on cost of haulage back to Cornwall?

 

[Strawgalore]

It kinda depends on wether it's a grey fergy to oakhampton or a tw35 to penzance and if you want it this week or your happy to wait a little bit !

500 quid, just about everything is 500 quid if you are prepared to wait a while, even 100 miles in the wrong direction comes in around 500 quid

I bought a Claydon drill back for @MakinBacon from Wisbech to Holsworthy, we were otherwise running empty £400 covered costs.

I am right on the Cornwall / Devon border. It would be another 2 hours down into deepest darkest West Cornwall on a wagon. You would want a fair bit more for the risk factor. [emoji33]

Bledy hell, Oakhampton is in Devon! Based in Mid Cornwall, Anywhere north of Bodmin is up Country!

 

[Strawgalore]

So are we quoting for a FW -60 to lands end or a Westwood to Bristol ?

 

[Dave W]

Enough of this south west waffle. Did you buy the tractor @trev7530 ?

 

[trev7530]

No not done the deal yet, it didn't make its reserve, still trying do do a deal.

 

[Dave W]

Didn't make reserve???
So just like most other things that were there then!

 

[trev7530]

Yeah, went to fire it up, and no go, think the starter has gone. Some one had not long put a new battery on it.
Reserve was to high imo.
Do they have quite a lot not sell then?
Bit annoying really, 700 mile round trip and couldn't even fire it up!

Have a look on their website at unsold lots and have a laugh at the reserves. I reckon over 50% of stuff goes unsold.
