Down as QF in Farmers weekly. Like Father like son. Did not stop Alan the elder trading when they banned him. Was still at farm sales all round here buying everything tractorwise. Nobody round here could ever work out how they could ever make money on some of the things they bought.

They deserve to be taken out and buried in a shallow hole after our run in with them delivering a tractor that was smashed to pieces and tried to deny it blocked his lorry in our yard for the whole day until they came down themselves, was speaking to a haulier they other night who said he went to deliver two identical model 626 Manutius somewhere in wales to two farmers named jones both on the lorry within a few miles of each other. Got to both farms and both machines were not the ones they had bought. Allan and his brother are high on the W***** list and from what I’ve been told they’ve been banned from York Sales and cheffins as many people want to kick their heads in.

From them came with no half shafts in front axle no front 4 wd shaft no transfer box splitter knackered
Just a disaster my uncle went down legal road but was going to cost more than tractor was worth
Ended up was sold for spares

Not defending them as obviously some bad goings on,but I bought from them,went and looked myself,and collected the machine at the same time and all was as expected ...no difference to anywhere else but I was wary as I know their reputation.certainly not the worst experience I've ever had and would go to them again if the deal was right. but carefully!

Maybe they import drugs in containers full of tractor parts and use the selling side of the business to clean the cash, maybe!
I’ve been at a sale were they bought a tractor then advertised few weeks later for less than they bought it for. Somethings not right!
