Hey anybody who spends the kinda money it costs to buy these machines really has a right to expect high quality. I mean if we were talkin small investment hey no big deal but we're not! Dad's machine was a few dollars shy of $60,000 and the other man said his was around$85k so that is a very big investment. I know we can be picky sometimes here in America and yes we do have it real good compared to other countries but it's not a matter of complaining! It's a matter of "High Standards" and getting what you pay for!!! If the Man's not happy about what he invested in then he has EVERY Right to mention it. These are very nice machines but let's face it...the consumer always gets the short end of the stick!! If the man paid that much it should've had the best radio in it already with quality sound to his liking! When dad took delivery of his M the power rev wasn't working. Couldn't shift without cycling the clutch. I figured may be some kind of neutral relay or whatever. The techs brought a new seat out because the seat switch is "too hard" to get to. Didn't fix it. Had to take the tractor back to shop for troubleshooting. It was a neutral relay. Lucky guess for me. Brand spankin new machine in the shop. Before dad got it we went to dealer to see it. They said it's ready to go. I said Really?? With grease all over the loader, little pieces of wire and plastic all in the cab? Mud in the floor board? Broken crossmember on loader between the hook ups? Finger prints all over it?? Oh ok...but it's just a tractor right? I mean why would Dad who has slaved his whole friggin life want his brand new $60,000 tractor to be clean and tip top?? He's just picky like the other man who spent $85,000 on his right? Easy to say the man is just being insane when it's not your money!!! Yes they are nice machines but what happened to "High Standards"? Bottom line is if the Man isn't satisfied with a $200 radio in an $85,000 machine, well fix it!!!!!! I ain't sayin make it sound like a studio, I'm sayin John Deere can make him happy somehow! He's doing them a favor by buying their product. They need to keep remembering that!! Ok...i think i'm done. But don't even ask about Dad's ordering experience. He's legally blind so I helped him with that. It's almost like at this particular dealer, they just wished Dad would have gone away and not bothered them. Yes he looks a little different because he had a radical face surgery to remove cancer and he's a big jokester and seems over bearing at times but that's a crock of Bologna!!! I watched my dad systematically all but kill himself working for the things he gets in life. Fortunatly his tractor works great now and he's satisfied but the road to get there SUCKED!!! In my opinion the Man has Every Right, especially on this Forum with other Tractor enthusiasts to share his opinion on his investment!! Now I'm done.
