Yes have bought and sold to Richard Firby never met him or been to the yard though but decent man to deal with and in my experience honest but it is s/h machinery so if poss go and look

 

[holywell farmer]

Very good to deal with, dads last two combines have come from him unseen , last one had stone damage to it and Richard sent photos of everything damaged and I think he even put up a few spare parts for it too. When we got the combine everything was as Richard had described it. Seems to be very willing to help any time dads been on the phone to him since as well

That's sign good honest machinery dealer

 

[Chuckie]

That's a really tidy looking old matbro he has on his website

 

[Trying]

Go and look. bought a bit of kit from him a few years ago asked if the tines were all straight. Was told they were. When it arrived at least 6 were not straight. Was told I must have damage them while unloading. I asked if he would go half’s on replacements. Might as well have been pissing in the wind. Said something like that the trouble with farmers they want it all there own way and expect the dealer to pay. All I wanted was the truth from the start. Beware.

Looking at piece of equipment from J R Firby North Yorkshire, are they a good reputable company to deal with, and do they give a good honest description over the phone?
Thanks.

@TripleSix looked at a Matbro Tr200 for me, great to deal with machine has just done all our bale clearing for straw and hay.

Looks as if he's had a run on sales of combines, fair few now sold

 

[Alistair Nelson]

If he hasn’t got them sold by now they’ll be out on hire probably as it’s a long time to next harvest

The tidy Matbro, the 2wd 7810 and the 4wd 7810 without front linkage were traded from one farm (into Ripoffs I think) for a new Kramer.
I ask you ..... Why?
No depreciation left in those 3 and swap them for a (good) loader which will lose £10k in year one.

 

[Alistair Nelson]

Just 10k he be lucky will loose that on arrival on the farm with a number plate fitted.

That's pretty crazy, assuming the workload is still as the hours on those three gems suggest.

If I had the spare pennies (and a shed for such to live in) I'd be off round and bringing one of them back home with me. You don't see 7810's that tidy very often.

I bought a 12yo 2000hr MF6180 as an extra tractor in 2008. All it had done all it's life was pull a sprayer. Young lad had inherited his uncle's farm, complete with all it's kit apparently, but was John Deere daft, so traded the old Ferg into RBM.
I wonder if similar has happened in this case?
