Greetings,
I am Ronnie Bowman the “TractorSmart.com”
Although I have exchanged email with many of you this is my first public posting in a forum like this.
Since 1999 I have strived to have TractorSmart be a provider of Kubota parts for those that wish to do business on the Internet.
During these past seven years TractorSmart had become a quite popular site among Kubota owners on the Internet.
There a quite a few thousand of you spread across all 50 states that have done business with me and I appreciate it.
I thought this was a win situation for the customer, Kubota, and TractorSmart.
My thirty years experience with Kubota tractors was used in freely helping everyone that came to the site seeking information.
The online shopping cart was to give you the ability to order parts any time day or night.
Or to be a knowledgeable customer when you walked in the door at the local dealer and were able to obtain a part quickly because you were educated with what you needed before you arrived.
In order for TractorSmart to succeed the supply of parts had to be delivered in a timely matter, a fair price, and a fair charge for shipping.
Any interruption in any of the three above conditions would you might say close an online store.
Kubota today Feb 7th, 2006 announced changes effective March 1st, 2006 that adversely affect they way parts business has been conducted online.
It was by the good grace of Kubota that shipping cost was not a big factor in online sales.
That is now gone.
As I rely on the Internet business from TractorSmart as my only income it is clear that I will have to seek other employment to now survive.
I am certain your local dealer and the Kubota customer support people will be happy to fill the void.
It has been an experience of a lifetime for me. To think a farm boy with no formal education was able to develop TractorSmart, obtain an internet client base of thousands of customers and help so many people.
Thank You All!
Sincerely,
Ronnie Bowman
