Simon Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Cor, you'll be lucky Col, we didn't make many of these, they had a VERY short production run, and weren't desperately popular, over here anyway, folks were starting to become accustomed to the Quadrishift box & Hydrostable cab.... I delivered a 610 to a farm and that was one of only 2 or 3 we sold out of Ludlow.... Good luck mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 i dont think i have ever seen one to, was a very good renault dealer near my nans place, gav would prob know of it, only saw the tz and 145/55's then the ares appeared, good few renaults arround at that time to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I only know of one in this area, think the chap still has it and it spends most of the time sitting in his yard now that he's retired. It had a short life on his tankers in his septic tank emptying business, the drivers prefering the Ares and 54 series models he had so ended up on the farm most of the time. Its the only one I've ever seen out at work and this was a good sales area for Renault \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigX500 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 use to have a temis 610 where i work thought the old 106 was a better tractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a franchise or one of our own depots like Ludlow...? We had 7 I think.... Sturminster Newton in Dorset, Marden in Kent, Stowmarket in Suffolk, Epworth, York [and one more but I can't remember where] in the North East, and Ludlow....

Gav836 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 The only big one in Suffolk that springs to mind at present is Renault East Anglia at Brockford which is where the 836 I had in a previous job originated from......less said about some of the muppets working there the better ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they moved the most kit of all the CRA's.... weren't vey F*IN bright whenever I went there though, you're right..... I delivered a McConnel trimmer to them one day... took less time to drive there from Ludlow than it did for them to work out how to strop it right to lift it off the trailer..

Gav836 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Well when I had the 836 on demo the radio wouldn't work all the time, if you shut the door hard it would go off for hours on end so I mentioned it to the rep, 3 months and 600 hrs later when we actually bought that tractor as an ex demo machine it was still like it despite us being told they had been through the tractor and sorted everything, one of the engineers at the local now gone Nortrac branch sorted it, loose pin in a multi plug, first thing that he checked, trouble is all Brockfords faffing about had fried half the internals in the radio so it needed replacing.....they wouldn't cough up for it either (there are other things but I'm not allowed to mention them ). There pdi and valet wasn't too great, was a funny smell in it and when I traced it the ash tray was full of *** ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 thats the one gav brockford, on the a140 between ipswich and norwich, prob half way, just outside a place called eye.they were a car dealers ford i belive, that went bust and within 3 weeks a renault dealer set up, think they also did valderstad and knerverland implememts to, the guy we stay as bought his renault grain trailer from them, only one i have ever seen,they went from memory when they swapped to claas serive might have ben poor but they sold a hell of a lot , know 1 jd farm that swapped within a few months to the 155's, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There pdi and valet wasn't too great, was a funny smell in it and when I traced it the ash tray was full of *** ends I don't doubt that for a second Gav, Renault were a HORRIBLE company when it came to warranty... I remember listening to conversations in our branch where we had sold a new or ex demo 735 with a creeper box and the creeper was shot, but head office didn't want to replace it, so they were forcing our depot to fob the guy off.... which was difficult, because he was supposed to be bedforming with it and without a creep box, he couldn't, so he came in EVERY DAY.... they did it in the end but the stress they put this poor contractor through was unbelievable.... It was one of the things which went toward what would ultimately have been my resignation, had it not closed down before I got that far!

PDC Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I bought all the models from Brockford when they closed down........UH Atles and Celtis in dealer boxes and some Joal ones too Bought 38 models in total for a fiver each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I know all about their warranty back up unfortunately lets just say the issue of which I'm not allowed to speak of ended up with two of Claas UK's top blokes (Claas had just taken on Renault when we aquired the tractor), the rep and service manager in a meeting with my then boss, it was that serious and had cost us and another manufacturer a lot of time and money trying to trace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought of that! I shut down 4 CRA's too - Dorset, Kent, Epworth & Ludlow, there was loads of stuff which could 'get lost'...

colin Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 thanks for all the info froms yous guys, have never drove a temis yet, but they are just new version of 106 there is a lot of temis' is France but too dear, da was talking to a sales man in claas dealers near us and he says men are coming over here to buy tractors, a man came from Denmark and bought axion 850 so if there was 1 here in uk without going to France that would be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I would think the chances of getting a UK 6 cylinder Temis would be almost zero. As they make more money in France the few that might be on the market would be exported to their place of birth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 You're battling against the Euro at the moment Col [you are NI aren't you ] and I see little chance of that changing in the very near future... on top of that the French are very loyal and will take great pleasure in taking good machines out of our second hand market at a cheap price, particularly those which were built at Le Mans... I only know to one Temis around here, that one I delivered to Clifton, think it was a 610.... there might be another one near Ludlow but they are a bit like hen's teeth....
