MJB1 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 ade , i don't recall guy warren the manager when i was there was called tom hislop he might not of been there if you were after me as he was driving the big A when a woman drove into the injector unit & was killed ,i don't think he stayed on much longer after that. ?others you might know are ?Phil Kishere; mechanic/manager, ?Brian Culmstock; machanic/fitter, Rob ;mechanic/fitter, Mark Chapman; driver, John Margets; driver, Clive wensley; driver, Gary Arnold ;driver (only had one leg) to name but a few & Bob he tipped the awd & trailer over at yeovil market. got to admit though tonys wife Karen was a tease walking around in fendt overalls not ziped up much.yeah Tony 's the workshop manager at Lift-West last i heard. i was there when the first Renaults came 145-45 i think ? they were awfull tractors compared to the fendts left before the xylons & nectras came & the renault magnums.

MJB1 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 i think we all had michelin men on the mudgards i even put one on my britains fendt when i bought it so it would look like the one i drove :D it's still glued on there as far as i know remember this place ? we used to keep coming back there when SOMERSET CONTRACTORS kept having their kit reposesed, then a few weeks later they'd turn up again with brand new kit & we'd go only to come back when it was reposesed again :D :D the only time i go to staplemead now is to deliver milk ,Phillip Trim now does the waste out of there with scania's & a fleet of valtras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I think two people here could write a book on byproduct injection :) :): :) MJB1 I can see you prefer german rigidity to gallic charm, no sense of romance !!!!! if you mean fergies then you're quite wrong my freind as fergie will always be up the top somewhere ,but you have to give credit where it's due & these fendts deserve it , mine clocked over 24000hrs & was still perfect when it was sold .these tractors were looked after better than some people look after their cars as we used to polish them religously, inner wheel centers as well we were also the first people in the south west to have low profile michelin MX tyres fitted , fendt even came over & gave dawes a certificate of authenticity as to the condition of the tractors & the hours they'd done ! When they were sold to a dealer in norway he paid more than what dawes bought them for new 4-5 years previously ! it was a sad day when i drove it upon to the low loader :'( :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingu Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 How long did you have the Fendt cause if you sold it when it was 5 years old with 24000hrs that works out as 4800 hours a year ??? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 i only had it the last 6mnths of it's stay but before that the fendts were run 24 hrs a day on dairy waste from Express daries at honiton or brewers waste from the badger brewery at blandford even fendt were surprised at the hrs clocked thats why dawes were given a certificate of authenticity.

MJB1 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 some times it was crap to turn up at 0500 hrs & see drivers asleep in the cabs , cos they'd literally shut the engine down & fall asleep before they'd even thought about finishing the days paperwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
