there cheaper,if you get a great warranty you pay for it,
They are cheaper which is why people go there, but it costs them nothing to be pleasant and curtious and to actually deliver what they promise.
Just look at all the comments on both here and the old forum to see what most people think of them.
If they put a little more effort into it they could have a really good business

They are from yorkshire, being pleasant and curtious doesnt come naturally to them, speaking from personal experience of dealing with a couple of yorkshire men myself, their word is god, if you dont like it or disagree, get walking, what ever happens, they are right, you are wrong, that is the attitude bred into them lol

my excuse is im quarter irish on dads side :p

seriously though, i know a couple of lads from up "gods country" and i cross the road to avoid doing buisness with them in any way, there are the lowest of the low when it comes to customer service and trying to rubbish you should you find fault with their product. And its not QF either, completely unrelated to them in fact

These chaps came up in conversation toady at Murton and someone mistakenly (?) referred to them as 'F Q Tractors' which made me laugh if you say it right.

They certainly pee'd on everyone's chips that were after a tidy conventional baler. They bought the lot and paid good money too

Who do you think the balers will be sold on to if they paid the top prices for them? Abroad or are they looking at the smallholder/ebay market? They must see a good profit, on top of what they paid, from someone.

Export most likely.
Possibly via cambridge or any other auction yard they're not banned from

Hi to all, I've just joined this forum as Im having a problem with the said company in some of these posts. Its East Yorkshire Machinery Ltd. Cutting a very long story short Father bought a tractor from them over the phone done a deal with 3 mts warranty. the tractor was delivered which wasnt really as described. lorry driver explained the man will sort it for you. dragged the tractor off as it would not start and left. after now 2.5 months of calls that he will sort a mechanic to come and sort the tyres, hitch, steps, hydraulic pump, about £4000 worth of needed stuff before it can be used as a tractor! (it had an extra 1500hours than expected also). Anyway are we stuck with this and or does anyone know if there is anyway of returning tractor or getting money partially or all out of them!?
Just really annoyed as need the tractor useable and they approx 5 hour drive from us. If we need to drive to make a visit anyone wanna join the convoy (could be fun) :mad: .
