    I'd buy her in a shot. You can tell she's healthy by the bright eyes. She'd be easy to find in the dark aswell.:D

    Head up ears forward, it could be that it's the only way he can get close enough to take a pic.....

    I've seen photos of tractors in the middle of a field and wonder is it the field or the tractor they want to sell :mad:

    If they aren't a mile away from the tractor they have to take an up close shot with half the tractor cut out.

    Remember seeing an ad for a tractor not too long ago. Ten photos but all with half the tractor ,showing no bonnet. If ya looked close at one of the photos you noticed the engine was missing. Not a mention of the in the ad tho.

    Or the ad. which just said "tractor" and no make specified. photos so bad, it took a while to figure out that it was the remains of a zetor half buried under junk, with both halves of the back axle missing.......

    It's a load of rubbish but like everything in Ireland if enough people start praising it most people will watch it not to be the odd ones out :rolleyes:

    I only recently started watching it. The first three seasons are put to gather exceptional well. Visually it's brilliant I think. The only mistake I think is they kill people off for the sake of it sometimes.

    Or this one it's a David Brown 995 with power loader a nice machine :rolleyes: it's overpriced more than likely an early cheap quickie loader worth no more than €150.

    Lads don't know if ye are dairy men but I feel sorry for this fella, selling heifers in calf to that, second time I have seen them up. TIX - EBI of €49, -€68 on milk, -426 milk, -27kg of solids, +.09 fat & 0.00 protein. Easy calved alright 1.8% at 97% reliability but daughters calving difficulty 8.4% at 76%, an awful bull. He would be way better off saying easy calving br fr and leave it at that.

    That kind of tripe is a pet hate of mine with Donedeal. No description, no make/model number provided so if I use the search function I don't get all the results, of course it's no wonder some of the stuff does be up there for months at a time.

    One lad was selling "Charly heifers". :rolleyes:

    Another selling "Tractor", click on the item thinking it looks vaguely like one I'm after. Note in the details "Not actual tractor in picture but same colour". Christ.:mad:

    Pictures of tractors blatantly in America/Germany/France: how these are permitted to be put up I'll never know.

    A lad was selling a Lely acrobat, had a video up showing it being worked as well as ten pics. Wasn't up long before it was sold.

    Cabs of tractors falling down with rust but bonnet "re-sprayed"; you can still see the brush strokes.

    MF 390T / Fiat 110/90 both notorious models for being overpriced. just because they've seen a few tidy and clean looking machines priced at 20K they figure their rusty ball of dung is worth the same money (As _Brian says, the "timewaster" line from them never takes too long)

    It would be great if it was segregated properly like mascus.co.uk.

    There should be a special section for halfwits to advertise rusty sh1te, Charly heifers and imaginary tractors.

    Edit: "Tyres 90%" - You mean 90% worn, they look like tyres Lewis Hamilton would be racing in they're that slick.

    They'd probably rear a great calf though!

    Yeah, they're great at measuring the wear at the outside of the lug, doesn't matter that they're bald in the middle.

    in fairness this isnt always true. i sold a few machines on dd and have to say i still have some of them. deposits paid and then no show for ages or land tell you they will take them and then start landing with 50 at a time. i ve readvertised twice with one machine and have had multitudes of buyers, but then for one reason or another it gets re-advertised. i even had a pair of lads break into a scrap in the middle of the yard.

    + 1. In fairness anyone that ever sold anything on done deal has come across time wasters. The first thing I sold on DD this guy rang me and promised he'd be down to look at it the following weekend and to keep it for him. He promised the asking price and being a trusting sort (back then) I believed him and told other callers it was sold. Lesson learned. Needless to say he never arrived. Funnily enough the silly pr!ck has rung me for two other things I put up since along with a pile of idiots like him looking for a chat. Some awful gobsh1tes out there in DD land.

    Still not as bad as Adverts.ie. Fellows messaging you with ludicrous price offers, or else with offers of swops, anything from untaxed, untested 15 year old cars to offers of 3 hours "free" tattoo work!
