Previous demonstrations have already knocked the rear covers off the mirrors I see :(

Looks a nice tractor. I was really impressed with the T6.180 I tried. I still prefer the normal new Holland blue colour though :)
I really liked the 180 I demoed 👍 just got a shock when I got the quote was expecting it to be a bit cheaper than the competition lol

Rear covers removed by dealer to keep them safe apparently.

The T.5 140 I had on demo from Willcocks was a disgrace. How people can abuse a demo tractor like they had that one was beyond me. It took them a day to get it usable before I could try it, The front mudguard just fell of apparently and it was sh!t high. People can be utter animals with other peoples' property!

I woul not have bought that tractor for love or money! The brakes were probably shot to bits if they hadn't been using trailer brakes.
Yep once bought an ex demo fendt 312, it was a nightmare, loads of bother all related to brake failure into the back end . Needed new vario, brakes, hydraulic problems etc. Bet some cowboy stuck a huge trailer on it with crap brakes. It had only done 300 hrs but we got rid in the end, learned me to never buy demo again.

I once inquired about an ex-demo pickup when i went to the dealers it just came back in the yard towing a trailer with a tractor on it and im not talking a garden tractor it was a sixty hp job
