Sorry just fancied a rant, what edjit takes the pictures of the used tractors they have for sale. Half times the tractor isnt washed and the pictures can be non descriptive as in side shots of the backend that you cant see how many spools it has or a pic of the cab inside took from the footstep that you cant really see anything
Was looking at this add this morning and seen same thing as iv noticed on lots of other adverts of thiers recently

No just dreaming. Just seems a bit odd compared to other sellers who have it all cleaned up and lots of good pictures to help lure buyers in. Somethimes chandlers have a picture of a new tractor with the caption of photos coming soon 🤦‍♂️

When my son was working for Claas Eastern part of his job was photographing used machines. Sometimes it was done on farm sometimes when they’d got it back to the yard and cleaned it up. All tractors look nice when polished sometimes it’s better to see them on farm especially if you can see a bit of the farm. It gives you an impression of how the tractor has been looked after.

Yes i dont disagree with seeing it in its working clothes, but why can they not angle the camera better, and get into the cab to take a pic of the inside properly

pictures to follow means it looked rough on farm when doing the deal and its someone elses job to wash and and polish it then they can take pics.
When looking for machines on line if they can’t be bothered taking photos I don’t bother ringing.theirs plenty of used machines about so go to a dealer that dose their job properly.

I've dealt with Chandler's for years . I even went to school with the children of one of the original partners. Generally they don't spend a lot of time tarting up their second hand machinery. However they seem pretty successful.
Did chandlers start as a 1 man owner 1 depot dealer or is it a company created from a few buyouts?
