I dont know why they operate like that. John Conaty is a more curtious salesmen, at least he'd allow a bit of haggling on the price and I must say he's very generous with his offers on scrap tractors, he may be hard to deal with on the phone but he is a good salesman in person. I talked to 2 mechanics who work for clarkes and they reckoned the new holland was the better buy so yourman didn't linger on it too long. He only really wanted the Claas for the loader.I could nearly guess the salesman name I dare say. The T160 I had was bought off them and they were great to deal with. Not so however when I changed to the T174 here now. Rang the same salesman and a rubbish price was offered for the trade so a more local dealer got it. I met Clarke's man sometime after and he knew me and asked if I was still thinking of trading the 160. That's well gone I said.
Perhaps he'll be keener next time if there is a next time.
