Delta Picture for @Feldspar

It looks like AGCO or its dealers have treated you well Willy ,,,,,,, it's a shame they can't look after the other gentleman who's on this thread who's pulling his hair out , I love value for money combining ,,,,,,,, but I hate being shafted by a company that knows it's got a problem and does a runner .

I own one and agco have lent me the other one as a goodwill gesture for this year as we are cutting over 3000 acres this harvest and ib the past have had a few issues.)

Well well played @willy.

You take on more land and AGCO give you another combine as goodwill. I lose two local contract jobs, breakdown for five days and AGCO don't want anything to do with me.

Can I hire you as negotiator?!

On another note- great to hear you're getting along well, I know you've been let down before (almost as much as me!).

I did hear you weren't having much luck.!!!

You need good people skills and huge amounts of sophistication...( oh I have neither) so it's down to luck and shouting loudest at the start???

5 employees and a fitter most of the day.

3 breakdowns- all different.

20 acres cut since 10am.

Pathetic. Pathetic. Pathetic.
