It will be delivered in the morning!
Too bad I can't meet Stuart and John. I have to work and can't take off (4th day on my new job). My uncle will check it out and 'sign off' on it.
EFC,
I don't doubt that the tractors in your shop are vietnam recons. I do believe you are telling the truth......BUT, I also believe you 'putting down' on ALL the viet recons, which is wrong in my opinion......Apparently the owners didn't buy from a good dealer because if so, they would have took care of it........Stuart AND John, both with RCO, are very nice people. They have put up with a lot of phone calls and questions with me, which they should have because thats their job and I am purchasing a product from them...........What I am saying is I think you and alot of other people are speculating about ALL viet recon tractors in general, which is definiately wrong.......I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Its WHO you bought it from, not WHERE it came from (the reconditioners).......Hey, if my tractor blows up the first day, i'll post on here and let ya' know. I have no problem with that......I will ALSO let you know how RCO takes care of my problems, if any.........BUT I WILL NOT put down on them just cause I have a malfunction. I will talk to them first. BUT, if they don't take care of it, I WILL spread their name around so bad to where a fly wouldn't light on em'. THAT is with anything I buy from a dealer whether it be a truck, 4-wheeler, lawnmower, or a wheel barrow. Thats just the way I am..........When I bought my last 4-wheeler (2003 Honda Foreman 450 S 4x4) from G.N. Gonzales in Baton Rouge, LA that WAS my LAST one. FROM THEM ANYWAY. They ain't worth a .......I won't even buy a spark plug from em' now........I now deal with Brookhaven Honda in Mississippi. VERY good people to do business with. You get the picture?
Now on the other hand, if I keep having problems with my tractor AND RCO DOES fix them, I still probably wouldn't buy another from them, even though they made efforts......BUT in return, I WOULD NOT bad mouth them OR Vietnam reconditioned tractors.....I would just simply stay away, let it be, and go on about my business....See?
Again,...from the PMs and people I have talked to on the phone, I VERY SERIOUSLY DOUBT i'll have any problems with RCO Tractor.......I might have a few "glitches" with my tractor, but hey its man-made and mechanical.....All in all, if I get good results with RCO and my tractor, i'll definitely buy from them again.........and probably from other dealers too. I am maybe thinking about purchasing a few tractors and selling them........
The first dealer I would buy from besides RCO, would be Hoye tractor.....Also very, very nice people.
Buck, I have a question.....Even though I have a viet recon, would you still sell parts to me if the need should ever arrise?, OR do you despise vietnam reconditioned so much that you don't need to make money off of the parts?....I'm no way trying to be 'cocky' or smart ....I'm just trying to see where everybody (all dealers) stand.............The first and #1 place I'll look for parts will be RCO because thats where I bought it.
You know, I wonder if/when my tractor reaches 4000 HRS. and my hydraulics need rebuilding if people on here will still say "I told you to STAY AWAY from em'!"
Have a nice and safe day everybody, because I know I will.
Travis R
