It’s Ravenhill round here who had Merlo. They are not having a good time of it!
Very annoying. First class service from Ravenhill depot 20 mins away. HRN now 45mintutes journey.

Quite happy to be honest.Ross agri is an hour an half away for us
If it’s like round here , merlo took it off a few small dealers and gave it too totally no satisfaction . One of the smaller dealers are busier than ever as appointed firm are not giving it , the Level of service that the small dealers could

....Leaves Ross Agri to focus on the FENDT material handler range - AGCO will be happy with that .

Is it just me who thinks the fendt telehandler is a bit crap and the only thing that stands it out from the rest is the fact its cab goes up and down? Which in itself is crap?
Have never tried the elevating cab On Telehandler but have used one on an excavator and it was awful , the machine movement exaggerated the cab movement , the cab movement exaggerated the operators movement which exaggerated the machines movement and so on , essentially a self generating uncontrollable speed wobble , for which the only answer was to just let go of the levers and let it settle and start again.

Why not?
I think it’ll be the flagship model to get some headlines before they launch a normal machine

Most of the groundcare they sold was Kubota would have gone to Hrn

I was in past the Maud depot one day in the summer and the words that the mechanics were using whilst working on a Kubota mower suggests they won't miss working on them!

instead of getting rid of dealers, they should concentrate on training some fitters down hear they are very thin on the ground I have been waiting weeks for someone to fix the air-con on one of mine I am bloody melting

Colder weather in the way so that's another 6 months before you will need it again

haha !when you pay that sort of money you don't expect to work in those conditions no windows to open only the back one then the cab gets filled with dust I don't mind not having air-con if I haven't paid for it spet the day in the old maxum on the hedge cuter blower works windows open that's fine but to pay the sort of money an R series is you expect it to work properly

I know. I'm just being a d**k. I wouldn't stand for it on a new tractor either.
We just use a independent guy for aircon up here. Anything under warranty I would expect dealer to sort pretty quickly. Or I would be phoning swearing at them on a hot day.
