A funny thing happened yesterday. My wife found a super deal on a gooseneck stock trailer so she went and looked at it. The owner come out with a JD hat, shirt, and his property was littered with JD equipment. My wife was checking out a tractor and told the guy that we had just bought a new Kubota this fall. He told her that was too bad because the JD tractor was a superior machine. So she told the guy about how the local JD dealerships had presented us with list prices and then told us they would get some more information on the type of tractor we needed and call us. We never heard from them again. The guy was shocked. He then told my wife that he worked for those same dealerships. (They are all owned by the same person). /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
So I guess this guy got an honest outside look at what that dealership was doing. I hope he goes back this week and tells his boss my wife’s story.
Also we all have different needs and reasons for picking what we bought. I wouldn’t tell you that you that my brand is better than your brand after you decided what best fit your needs. That would be just asking for hurt feelings.
I would have liked to be there in the background while my wife told him that story. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Please understand that I have nothing against JD. I love their products. This story is just about my local dealership and how we were treated on this one occasion. Others have had great experiences with this dealership and I hold nothing against them except that they passed on my business this time.
