I'm not a dealer either. But I have some input that may be helpful. Back in Jan. I started shopping for a 6' medium duty cutter. I was looking at Woods, Bush Hog, and Rhino primarily. I considered a few others, but not for long. I liked what I saw of Rhino. Problem was, there was but one dealer in the immediate area. With fuel prices what they are, I didn't want to travel 100 miles to save $50 on a mower. There are dozens ofWoods dealers , and several Bush Hog dealers within a 30 minute drive. The sole Rhino dealer didn't have ANY inventory and claimed it would take him 30 to 60 days to get what I was looking for.
The delay might well have had something to do with the time of year. Maybe, maybe not. The lack of Rhino dealers in the area didn't help their cause.
OK. Where's that lead us. If YOUR area is typical of what I've seen, you could be "the only game in town". Provided you carry a decent inventory and believe in customer care, that can be a GOOD THING. Rhino has a good reputation. I t comes mostly from a great industrial/super heavy duty mower line, but their light and medium duty line seems to be an equal of Woods and Bush Hog. Stock their products, sell at a fair price, and let the world know you have something no one else in the area has, and you SHOULD sell a gang of 'em.
JMHO, and worth all you paid for it.
Good luck with your new endevor
