I recently bought a new X500. The buying experience wasn't what I expected. I paid the list price (less the Deere discount during June) and signed the papers. While the salesman was printing the papers, I asked if they give subscriptions for their Homestead magazine. He said, no, but he thought I could go to the Deere website and sign up for it myself. I was offered no Deere Ball cap either. In a few days the tractor came on a flatbed trailer. Signed some papers again and the delivery guy left. I then noticed there was only about 1/4 tank of gas in it. I also took off the black discharge chute and found it wet between the metal attach bar and deck. I also saw rain-spots (dust spots) so assume it had sat outside in the rain prior to delivery. Is all this normal when buying a $5000. machine? I bought implements at different places in the past and they at least gave me a ball cap.
1) No ball cap
2) 1/4 tank of gas
3) No magazine subscription
4) Wet deck from being in rain
Do I have a bad dealer or is this kind of experience normal nowadays? Thanks for any input on your experiences.
