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

 

[mo!]

As dealers go, Richard is one of the better ones. I wouldn't worry too much. Either that or jump in the car, it's not *that* far.

Or about 2 hours if you go by road and use his farm drive

Ask Ollyblogs sure he had a look around there
not long ago.

Yes, he bought a couple of him I think.

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!

 

[bill and bens dad]

I Think its a RV Pugh ,Mellington, Churchstoke, sticker on the bonnet.

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.

I'd rather visit his yard than go to lamma

 

[Zebbedee]

Never been to Richards yard (it’s on the bucket list though) but have done a few deals with him over last ten odd years and found him decent to deal with and honest in my opinion

 

[icanshootwell]

Fair play to them, answered email almost straight away, makes a refreshing change.
