Sounds a bit like a scouting mission to me.:laughing:

CourseTold Steve that Harry from BXpanded said 'Hi" and Harry still won't give me a Pirinaha toothbar to evaluate for him.

Well JT, sure glad to hear that you at least THOUGHT of us guys that still have to work every day! Sounds like you had another good afternoon.
Cheers,

I'm glad to hear that there are friendly, respectable, helpful dealerships. It sounds like Barlow's is a step above that, even. Good job on their part, and kudos to you for praising them publicly, too. It is too easy to be critical in public. The local Kubota dealership has been genuinely rude to almost every time I go in. The Deere dealership is worse. I don't understand how businesses like that seem to flourish, while the good ones, as Barlow's is, seem tom fade away.

Sorry for the tangent. I wish there were a Barlow's near me.

Sorry guys, but I HAD great thoughts concerning Barlow Equipment. But I spend 30000 dollar on a machine I cant use around people. Steve cheat on me. Of course Im stupied I let my self get cheated, a tractor only done 160 since 2009!!! Whats the problem? Well the problem was the "Sqeek" sound, former owner traded it because no (dealer) couldnt find the problem!

Its easier to cheat on people on the other side of the globe, right Steve?

Im very very disapointed and 30000 dollar back.

But this story aint over luckely I know good folks in the US...

I'm not saying I kept my eyes straight ahead as I drove thru so much Orange (lots of Orange, red, black and yellow Implements also) colored tractors coming in and going back out but no keys changed hands and the only prices I heard were being given to people coming in and on the phone.
I do seem strangly content with my currently owned (financed) tractors and vehicles. Don't know what's wrong. I did buy (Vibe) and sell a car (Del Sol) a few weeks ago which seemed to relieve the building up pressure.:laughing:
I did enjoy stopping by their workplace and seeing how a small business that started in a farmers front yard has now become one of the biggest Kubota dealers in the US and still operates on a know and treat reasonable and maybe even the unreasonable customer fair. Still locally owned and I believe profitable business that serves customers. Except for squeaks that can't be found.
I believe they could be profiled as an American success story like BXpanded and Messicks and I'm sure other tractor businesses.

You do have a well rounded selection of tractors and mowers that one would be hard pressed to improve on.

A friend of mine had a Vibe; nice little car. When he retired, he sold it and got a Baja VW to tow behind his RV.

I came close to buying a Honda CRV-V yesterday; really need to stay home and away from temptation.:laughing:

It's summer time and the living is easy! You need to relax after many years of frustrating Gvmnt Service and get out. Come on over to Ky and visit me and I'll show you around and guarantee we can find some stuff to buy. I know you've thought alot about buying a B and we'll just go to Barlows and look at every B he has, even the ones still in the crates. He can also order more Fs.:laughing:
