I bought I bought a 2017 hitachi Zaxis 60 based on videos of it operating .
In 3 months I have had to replace an idler that was welded on to stop the track slipping off, it overheated after 1 hour work , found there was no thermostat on engine and the head gasket was about to go. They wouldn’t let me get it serviced before purchase and I had paid a deposit.

Avoid at all costs
Well where to begin. I bought a tractor from them. Stated at the time a good going old tractor with a pto brake not working at time of sale. Happily discussed a price and sent the cheque onwards. On receiving the tractor from off the delivery lorry. It wouldn’t start clutch and breakers were sized together no breaks at all no oil in it or water in it. spool leavers all snapped of hand break ripped out the cab. When we managed to get it started and topped the oil back up and put water in it water came straight out of the radiator (cracked) and water out the head gasket. All the front steering king pin bearings were gone. All the rear hydraulic 3 point linkage is cracked broken or welded together. All in all a pile of scrap. When challenged over the phone they just said sorry no refunds. My words to anyone dealing with this company. If you think it’s good or looks good it will probably be bad! If looks bad then it’s fit for scrap with this company Avoid at all costs. !!!!!!!!!

What a scammer Seamus is.
What a scammer Seamus is.
He was looking for a long-term partner, so we made a special trip to buy three excavators.
The reception was good, and the demonstration was also good.
Finally, an agreement was reached and the order placed.
All payments were made on time.
Shipping was more expensive than he had offered, but it could happen, so we agreed.
When we bought the item, shipping within one week was agreed upon, but it ended up being shipped four weeks later, even though we had indicated it was urgent.
We also didn't receive everything in the container, even though we had indicated it should be possible, which became clear when we received the container. We did receive a refund.
The real trouble began when we unloaded the container.
We ordered new spare parts but received old ones.
Yes, we still had a set on the shelf, which must have been there for years, because the rubber seals had dried out. Yes, I can't do anything about it. Why did I buy NEW ones, but you delivered junk?
The windows on two machines were broken; it looks like they were broken to get out of the cab.
The machines appear to have more malfunctions and errors than during the demonstration.
The computer on one machine turned out to be running on emergency mode, so it was broken.
The spare tracks didn't fit, and the machines had different sprockets.
Actually, the problem is bigger, so instead of a long-term business, Seamus went for a one-time scam.
It was very clear that he was aiming for fraud, because not a single complaint was taken seriously.
I promised him I would post a review on all the platforms where he advertises.
Advice to future customers: think twice before doing business with Seamus from Trillic Tractors.

We purchased trackor from Seamus at…
We purchased tracker from Seamus at TT Unfortunately, our experience was highly unsatisfactory.
We were provided with inaccurate specifications and misleading information about the machine’s condition and history. Additionally, promotional videos shared online appear to be misrepresentative — footage did not match the actual equipment delivered.
Due to the lack of transparency and reliability, we cannot recommend doing business with this seller. We urge potential buyers to exercise extreme caution and conduct thorough independent verification before any transaction.
We sincerely hope the business improves its standards — or reconsiders its operations — for the sake of future customers.

I would give this company less than one…
I would give this company less than one star if possible. I had a very disappointing experience with Trillick Tractors. The tractor I purchased was not in the condition they described. The pictures and videos were very differnt from the tractor that arrived. — several problems became apparent upon delivery that were never mentioned beforehand. It’s clear that the true state of the tractor was not honestly represented, and the overall quality was far below what was promised. I expected transparency and fair dealing, but instead found misleading information and substandard equipment.
I ask the seller Seamus @ TT if the Massey Ferguson 399 was manual and if it had 3 sticks. He replied in the affirmative then stating that it has 3 sticks,. when the tractor arrived it had only one. Additionally there were multiple problems and the machine was inoperable.
I would strongly advise others to NOT buy anything from this company.

Review of Trillick Tractors Ltd
I recently imported 7 tractors from Trillick Tractors Ltd. Out of these, only one tractor (MF 185) was in reasonably good condition. Unfortunately, the remaining six tractors (MF 290) arrived in very poor shape.
The images and videos provided before purchase were completely different from the reality. The tractors were shipped improperly inside the container, causing significant damage during transport. I had to replace major body parts, including exhausts, wheel hoops, and suspensions. The tyres were mismatched (different sizes, some small and some large) and in extremely poor condition, with only about 20% usability left.
Even worse, the model presented on their website was listed as 1997, while customs confirmed they were actually from 1987.
The most disappointing discovery was that the engines were not field-ready. Contrary to the claims made in the advertisements, the tractors required major overhauls before they could even be considered operational.
Recently, from discussions on farming forums, I also came to know that Trillick Tractors Ltd has a reputation for targeting exports of old machines to Asia and Africa, selling them at reduced prices. They seem to rely on the fact that customers in these regions often have no practical way to return the tractors or file a complaint. In reality, this means they are selling expensive scrap rather than farm-ready tractors.
Overall, this experience has been a huge disappointment. I feel misled and financially burdened, and instead of reliable tractors, I was left with scrap machines. This has cost me both financially and emotionally, and it is not a good memory at all.
