Haynes agri

[tw15]

See that another long established dealer Oakes bros has been bought out by Haynes agri . Thing is i can see that a lot more dealers will go the same way just a sign of the times. Do wish them every success for the future as the next few years are going to be tough for ag trade machinery dealers even with higher grain prices they are all looking at a shrinking market .

Looked at buying a tractor a few years back, had to chase Haynes for a quote 3-4 times, Oakes Bros were super keen and have been incredibly helpful with servicing and repairs since. Very disappointing

That is a surprise.

The way Haynes have been going in the last 25 years, I would have thought it would have been the other way around !

They have always been a shower of sh1t. How they have managed that is beyond me. Where it not for the fact of there being a connection to the Fiat family (as I understand it) they would have lost the franchise years ago.

Surprised they didn't keep trading under the Oakes name for longer and then phased it out later; would have meant extra good will.
