Got a call from my dealer on friday the district manager came in and they are wanting me to give them $1385.00 for the difference, which I thought is a bit steep for something that I was told was built heavy enough for commercial work when I bought it.
My dealer says his hands are tied but I am just thinking thats a bit steep!
I know this is a lot better attachment then the sb45 afterall that was in the shop 6 times and only had 20 hours on it.
My SB54 has about 195 hrs on it this winter only problem a couple of sheer bolts and had to do some serious metal massaging when I found a piece of curb that the Road Grader managed to break off and leave in a driveway.
That and the roller that hold the chute on have worn away twice but they are now making metal ones instead of plastic and those are working out fine
I just pop em out and slide a lil grease in em when I grease the rest of the blower.
I think they arrived at their pricing by taking list prices for all the parts of it and subtracting. I am thinking that is a bit out of line after all if they are using list prices there is markup at all levels on the price. And the way I look at it nobody should make a dime on this other than the manufacture of the new unit.
I am going in to talk to the dealer sometime this week and try to reach an understanding, will update when I know anymore.
Any one else on here get theirs replaced? and if so how much did you pay if any?
What was the financial arrangement when you switched blowers?
They're always negotiable....particularly if you plead your case as stated above.
Good luck!
