Never dealt with them, but gave my then young son a T shirt at the Royal Welsh show, none of the other dealers that we deal with offered anything! Not that this is a recommendation, or that we go for freebies!

By far the best JD dearlership I’ve dealt with, a family run business with a family ethos, nothing is ever to much trouble and all customers are valued unlike some of the other local JD dealers who only like to see a spud barren come through the door.

I hope John Deere leave him alone these are the sort of dealers we want not mega dealers who JD think are the bees knees and pretended they know every thing.

I remember talking to another family run dealership up above the midlands a good few years ago and he along with Frank and several others had been invited to a dinner held by one of the top men from John Deere with the aim to get them all to join forces with other dealers to create more “super dealers” else JD would take the franchise off them, frank apparently said “no thanks, I’ll sell 10 new class foragers a year instead” the man from JD soon changed his mind

To follow this up...

Did indeed buy this little machine. Dealt with Frank himself initially and right through the deal. Went to see it & tractor was as described & well presented.

Delivered afew days later by a very chirpy experienced lorry driver exactly as he said it would be, and had a follow up call from Frank again to check I was happy. Which I was.

Painless and pleasant no BS experience. JD would do well to recognise how Frank runs his operation. 20210414_164039.jpg
 
They had a tractor we were interested in buying last year.
Had a chat over the phone and emailed pics of the p/x over and called next day to make sure they had got them. Said they would get back to me when a price was sorted, still haven’t heard anything.
