Installing a Step for GC 17XX GC 26xx

[MoMower]

Not sure how you concluded that I had a "Kubota specific problem".
My effort was simply to point out that there is also a great aftermarket step that is made for the Kubota.
And you took offense at that bit of information.
I saw the subject as being about aftermarket steps.
You apparently had a very myopic aftermarket step opinion.

I know nothing about "Mark Beryl's product", but incidentally, posts #35 and #37 certainly do not appear to be from "another happy customer"!

And continuing the obtuse, or very dense line. Keep on keeping on.

I thought the #35 & #37 poster bought a backhoe quick attach.
How is that relevant to a "bolt-on tractor step"?

Lol, same way a kubota specific PRODUCT, is relevant to a discussion about Massey Fergusons..lol

Simpletons gonna simple.

@GeneV, if I understood you correctly, you bought a quick change, were unhappy with it, returned it and got a refund?

I’m curious as to how the CS sucked? (Legitimately asking for detail)

I find your insults interesting!
Keep 'em coming.

Lol, no insults, just pointing out your behavior

Sorry you were unhappy with your product that was a custom product. We offered a refund and gave you a full refund.



Here are just a few of our hundreds of customer’s feedback. (We have 5,347 positive feedback on Ebay and No neg or neutral feedbacks.)...

You know what, believe it or not but I'm not looking to specifically bash your goods or anything. But with all the lovefest being exhibited here, I just felt obligated to provide some pushback.

What do I care about all the other positive reviews? My experience with you was NOT positive, and it wasn't for lack of trying on my part. I got a full refund only because Paypal stepped in. Or do you not remember your demand that to get a refund, you were wanting me to physically destroy that plate with a sawzall and then send you pics of the destruction? So ridiculous. Even then I was still trying to work with you, offered to keep the part at reduced price if you didn't want it back, modify it myself to make it work. I gave you every opportunity to make it right, which you refused to.

You send me a jacked-up product, totally wasted my time, refused to work with me to make it right, and then gave me a giant hassle on the return/refund. With not one "sorry Gene" about any of that. Messed up.

Seems as though there would be no reason to doubt that report.

I tried to save you money by offering for you to destroy the custom product so you would not have to pay shipping back to me.

You did not want to do that then you would not ship my products back to get a refund.

PayPal forced you to ship it back to me and I gave you a full refund.


It goes to show you can not make everyone happy even giving a full refund on a custom product.

We have only ever had one product returned to us. Your product and we gave a full refund the day we received it back.

Interesting response!

Interesting response!

Absolutely is, maybe even reason to doubt the above, lol.

I know nothing of GF, except I gave him money and he provided an excellent product that did exactly what was advertised. As far as Customer service, I called him, he answered and the problem was solved. I hooked him up with my dealer and they are happy to carry his products.

Not a love fest, just actual experience and facts.

As far as Genes issue, maybe I’m more laid back, but the request to cut it up, to save on shipping seems reasonable.....shrugs, who knows.

Ok, well if you wanna know with all the detail...

Look, first I wanna give him some props here, both his step and skid plate seem legit. If I was in the market for a skid plate (and didn't already have my customer experience with him), I'd buy his plate. Seems like a pretty good product.

But, his backhoe q/c bracket he sent me was just terribly made. He had everything welded up at angles, it wasn't square. Evidently he got heat shrinkage when doing one side of the plate, and rather than pounding it out to square before welding the other side, he just ran a bead on the other side as is. It just look amateurish. I'm a terrible welder, but even I would be more careful make sure everything was properly tacked up and square before running full beads.

So, pretty ugly to begin with, but then it also didn't fit my backhoe bucket, I couldn't mount it with both pins. The "custom" he's referring to is, I was wanting the bracket to have both ends closed off instead of having one open end. The reason for that is I wanted to use the bracket to quickly flip my hoe bucket around to face outward (I had an application requiring me to have that function). I didn't want a weak spot where the open ends would be, as the most force would be applied there when using the bucket when it's flipped around facing outwards.

So what he did is size the on-center holes for the pins to exactly match his backhoe bucket. What he should have done instead was mill out a small pocket in one of those hole sets to allow for some slight tolerance differences. When I told him the bracket doesn't fit, he started blaming my backhoe lol. First it was some bs about welds on my bucket being in the way. I was like, no, there's no welds in the way. Then, he was blaming it on my backhoe bucket being warped from abuse, again, no. And why is my bucket is warped from abuse, as opposed to your bucket being warped?

But I also ordered another part from him, basically the ripper tooth base w/o the ripper. I was wanting to weld a claw thingie onto it, had plans to create a poor man's grapple out of the backhoe (something that would work better with the thumb than the bucket does). Again, this thing was welded all crooked just like his q/c bracket. But even more interesting, this plate and q/c bracket didn't mate either! I could only get both pins in it by pounding them in with mallet, and I mean pounding the crap outta them (per his instruction). This should be slip fit, I shouldn't have to be pounding those pins in and then pounding them out to put my bucket back on...which whoops, didn't fit my bucket at all anyways, even with all the mallet pounding.

You know what, feel free keep digging! Your parts didn't fit, at all. Not my tractor, and not each other! There's no reason I should have to pay return shipping on faulty parts. But you refused to pay return shipping, instead told me to destroy the plate to get my refund. That's why I offered to work with you, keep the plate at reduced cost and modify it myself. But you were so bent on giving me a hard time at that point, you refused even that. Paypal forced YOU to scrap the "destroy the plate" bs, and then paid me for the shipping cost.

 

[Gofast]

A year ago, you got products that I do not even sell anymore, and I fully refunded you.

I am sorry you were not happy with your products.



We have a new welder miller 255 and now pulse mig weld our root rippers. (our other products are not welded)

When the Quick Connect came back, I tested it here and it fit fine I opened two ears up to make it standard.

I Sandblasted it powder coated it and shipped to a new customer they have been using in in the field ever since.
