Though HRN still owe me a user manual, a double gub drawbar that actually fits, and a run on a dyno, I feel they're getting hard done by in this thread
My experience of HRN is buying a 10yo tractor from them last autumn, one which I've spent several years on the lookout for. Though 10 years old, the one that HRN were selling (instead of exporting) came with a months warranty, which they gave in writing. When faults appeared that weren't evident at the pre purchase inspection and test drive, HRN immediately arranged for a local Deutz dealer to collect and repair
The tractor I bought needed work and looked rough (and I probably paid over the odds). Some examples were; the exhaust was broken, the tyres and front wheels were the wrong size, the passenger seat cushions were knackered, the mirrors didn't match, the radio was old and sounded buggered, the seat needed 'upgrading'. However, HRN not only told me where to learn of it's history before committing to purchase, they guaranteed it mechanically
HRN put in writing everything that was agreed they would do before delivery, put in writing their warranty, and most worthy of praise, they honoured their terms. Pre purchase inspection is a must when buying anything used, but from my own experience, I think the OP is creating mountains from molehills of their own making
(..... Even though I haven't got an owners book, double gub drawbar, or run on a dyno
)
Still got a few wee things on my list to fettle, but after a winters fiddling, it definitely looks a lot better than when it was bought
Thank you HRN for the deal
