[farmer99]

Combine broke a chain and idler last weekend so phoned John Deere dealer on Sun am stores shut but would open up for £50 charge so codged it together till mon .Is this common practice for the middle of harvest? I with am in the middle of arable east anglia whre stuff is running 15 hour days at this time of year 7 days a week

Don’t worry . shouldn’t work Sunday’s anyway.

What company? Haven’t faulted Ben Burgess in that respect.

If it was my regular dealer on a sunny Sunday in harvest, I would be pretty peed off, especially as I do not suspect that goes to the storeman.

Yes Ben Burgess no complaints about staff always excellent just if you breakdown sat evening you cannot order parts till mon for delivery tues. Luckily Mike Mitcham is still breaking a couple of 1085/1188 at Burwell.I like my JD but if I was changing now I would go for Claas with Manns spares at Saxham 24/7
