Missing, damaged and completely written off......

[@chrismoore7416]

Another cracking video,it's amazing how people think it's acceptable to behave like this, Keep up the good work Michael and crew 👍

[@ammo4184]

Good video Michael. Please keep us updated on how this case progresses. Really interesting to hear.

[@frasermathers2287]

That's the sort of customer that you don't need, and they need to be taken all the way for the hire and trailer damage costs. Glad you got it back (Eventually)

[@royjacques5650]

I would put trackers on all your equipment so you know where it all is

[@georgehay5929]

Great video again, Michael . It's a shame that some customers do things like that

[@GeoffreyMoore-i9k]

Looking at the creases in the front tyre, you'd think it had been parked flat for the 5 missing months Terrible situation to find yourself in, crazy they've allowed it to drag on for so long Thanks for the update Back UK Farmer's 🇬🇧 Geoff

[@tommitchell1826]

Nothing gets away from you Micheal unfortunately there is always people like tat happy xmas to you and your staff

[@paulluke3283]

Where was it parked?? Is it the hirers farm? Did you report it as stolen? All these questions 😊 You're a lot calmer than I'd be. Glad you have it back Michael 👍

[@stevewareing8525]

Great video Michael, having watched your videos for some time I know that customers like that are thankfully not the norm. Excellent work though thanks to the power of social media and honest people that you actually found the trailer, my cynical side thinks that as the valve cores were missing and the tyres inflated without problem they were let down deliberately to make moving it more difficult ? It grinds my gears that someone would cause such hassle to a hard working company who took their business on trust and provided them with first class equipment. I sincerely hope you will claim the full recovery expenses on top of the hire costs from their insurance and black list that customer by putting the word out to other suppliers so they don't get caught out as you did. 🤔. As the old saying goes " Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice shame on me" 👍. Daniel is an absolute STAR.👌👌.

[@GCSMachinery]

Exactly all in hand. Yes tyres inflated no problem

[@DJC995]

Hi Michael They made a good job of writing off that trailer then hiding it Thanks again

[@tomstafford3706]

Great work Michael from Galway Ireland

[@roba4297]

Looks like a few Mars bars for Daniel. Some people just don't deserve a second chance.....born takers.

[@danielrust8001]

A very sad video! It Takes all sorts to make the world go round! Ur a better man then me I would have named and shamed that hirer!

[@StuartClarke-k7j]

Maybe you look at putting trackers on your machinery .never loose them then 😊 . You done well to find your trailer 👏 👍

[@GCSMachinery]

Very lucky

[@johnsimpson8652]

I can't imagine why hiding it would make things better ,they have had a wrecked trailer on hire for months ,very strange !

[@GCSMachinery]

Very much so.

[@sarahmansell3611]

That’s unbelievable Michael take care

[@JamesHaigh-Austin-fy1tn]

Well done to you and Daniel

[@markyboy545]

Sorry to see you had a very odd customer unfortunately there are them sort of people in this world.

[@RayBower-k9r]

You will make a great detective

[@jones3498]

You forgot to tell the reversing beeeper you were in stealth moad! 😂

[@jeremiahkearney5191]

Evening Michael and team

[@johnarmstrong5727]

The valve cores removed and the Strimech fork set in front of it , someone did not want it moved.

[@GCSMachinery]

Exactly

[@michaelodonoghue7464]

It’s known as a Tracking Device and every piece of your Plant Equipment should have one hidden somewhere onboard.

[@GrahamWP58]

Strange it took the customer so long to pass on his insurance details. I bet he's on Santa's naughty list and not on your Christmas card list Michael

[@johnheneghan174]

Grate videos just from Ireland just wondering what's the new hilux like looking at one for early next year

[@johnwarwick4105]

Strange situation, I guess we will find out more as time goes on. Didn’t look too bad but guess it must be twisted. It would be interesting to know how your insurance works with all the equipment especially tractors. As the customer will have to provide insurance but you must have it incase they don’t 🤷‍♂️

[@GCSMachinery]

The customers insurance have only just learned the trailer was not their customers. I will let you make your own conclusion to that

[@Hesston4860s]

Apart from the silage sides it doesn’t actually look that bad, I’ve seen far far worse !. I will await your follow up video on how it tips as that’s the true test as it could be twisted !.

[@paulpreston1736]

Glad you got it back Michael but can you not put trackers on them I know you have a lot but will it pay off ?

[@GCSMachinery]

Yes we do have them in some

[@noelhyams2156]

I feel like these people should be blacklisted. So no of a higher company gets the same treatment as you.

[@markhyde1714]

I would say it's repairable

[@douglasjohnstone7299]

I’d say so trailer looks repairable just the silage sides that are scrap

[@DavidAnderson-mx1ls]

Hopefully the body or the chassis isn’t twisted

[@adrianshjadesheehan9991]

Well done lads what a joke he should be called out a disgrace to leave a trailer like that

[@annettenewman7194]

Michael how did you find it.

[@noelhyams2156]

Have you thought about putting tracking devices on all your equipment you hire out. Thought Most. Hire companies did this

[@GCSMachinery]

Some do have

[@ErnieBarnett]

glad you managed to find the trailer and recover it eventually ,was the customer still paying the hire charges, or did they stop paying for hiring of the trailer?

[@GCSMachinery]

Awaiting payment

[@cheechU38K]

No wonder the renter didn’t want you to find the trailer. Very embarrassing for him I guess.

[@GCSMachinery]

Lot more to it than that sadly. Not from my side

[@cheechU38K]

@ So sad for you. Maybe trailers manufacturers should have a safety warning ⚠️ with speeding around corners.

[@chrislee2221]

Question. Do you black list naughty customers within the trade? As when I worked in the agricultural supply trade a bad payer would be blacklisted not just with us but within the trade also. Glad you got your trailer but to me something is very fishy about this whole scenario, if I trailer genuinely gets tipped over in the course of a day's work why hold off for so long and then hide the trailer ?

[@GCSMachinery]

I have a fair idea why but I can’t put that on KZbin as it’s only my suspicion but you are correct

[@chasthechippie]

10% of your customers give you 90% of your problems

[@GCSMachinery]

Yrs

[@GCSMachinery]

Yes

[@glen-nh7jq]

Micheal what happened to the second trailer you never said as that customer hired 2 trailers mate😮

[@farmernige]

Yeah I wondered that as well

[@GCSMachinery]

We got that back two weeks ago

[@AbcdEfgh-zp1sn]

Hiring to farmers is a mugs game. Been in the hire game for 20 years and farmers are the worst .

[@GCSMachinery]

I have a customer base of some great farmers. Been in the hire game 39 years

[@johnmchardy4502]

Definitely the most dishonest people farmers are but some of them are spot on thankfully

[@markchambers3269]

Have you ever had a trailer stolen?

[@GCSMachinery]

A few diggers and dumpers but we usually find them. We are lucky to know a lot of people

[@w056007568]

Is there more damage beyond the obvious in the video eg chassis, tipping gear etc? I ask because I'm quite surprised if it has been "written off" based on its appearance on the video. I can imagine there is a lot more "background" to this story which I somehow doubt we may well hear nothing further!

[@GCSMachinery]

The insurance has written it off. The chassis has issues. Yes there is a bit more to this story. But I can’t really say at this point

[@farmernige]

​@GCSMachinery will they sell it back?

[@davidwright6555]

I bet hirers have claimed and pocketed the money the tractor was probably damaged in someways hoping that gcs didn't claim for same accident that's why it's been hidden

[@georgedoorley5628]

@@davidwright6555 very hard to claim for a trailer that you do not own ....... had a loading shovel try to burn itself here ...but I got it out , wiring badly damaged and was insured on an engine number as I did not have it registered ......got no money as I could not prove that I owned the vehicle as it was not road registered .......even though they were happy to take my money for the insurance premium.......... was all for luck in the end as I would have gotten very little anyway for it as it was 27 years old ........got a new wiring loom made , and off to work again ........still have it ..!

They were still paying the rental though ?
