i got mine from the Sally location as well. Sorry to hear that. The guy there was a bit of a snake if you ask me. I noticed years before the lawsuit that yanmar had that he no longer had any yanmars...several other brands but no Yanmars. The sold montana or branson branded tractors at some point and the cub cadets and i think always had the Mitsus and others but was always spotty.
His nephew who was the mechanic was more of an honest sraight up guy and i liked dealing with him but the owner and his wife were shady folks at best..would be how i would describe them. I would go by there when working and i had to go right through the area and look at what was on the lot.
I am happy with my tractor so far but often think the customer service at spalding tractors in griffen would have been so much more pleasant.
