Does anybody live close to the above, they have a tractor I am interested in but I am up to my eye balls in stuff here. PM me for more details. TIA
Firby Towers is a mile from me as the crow flies. Which interests you? I can pop for a look if you're keen. Richard & Lee are pretty good with accurate descriptions on the phone, have you spoken to them?

Only by email so far, they have a 716 for sale, just wanted a check over, known vaults etc has a few hours on the clock but these tractor s were good for a few without to much trouble.

It's got some broken studs on the exhaust manifold

Its also had a new coolant header tanks by the looks of it.

Top link is new / not original.

WA reg plate would indicate it came from the West Country, and I think its a Parris Tractors sticker on the front.

Needs a few new lights and the rear mudguards straightened but actually it looks pretty straight.

Richard is absolutely as honest as they come in the s/h world and is absolutely straight up and genuine but really you want to go and have a look even if spud goes for an initial look as eluded to the actual farm drive is the longest part of the journey but once you get there it is an education, nearly a family day out!

I know someone who has actually taken the kids for a day out there, and as a big kid myself I enjoy a good rake about too.
As all have said Richard is a top bloke and I wouldn't have any issues at all buying anything off him at all.
