Just heard from my credit card company and they have made my credits permanent ($2800 for aerator, $1800 for box blade). Kudos to the CC company because one of my disputes was made at about 190 days. I really wanted that 3-point dual-depth aerator because there is nothing else like it that I can find. Anyways, for a bit more, I purchased a Bobcat AE36 tow-behind (formerly a Ryan AE36). I wanted the 3-point but the tow behind will actually be better in the long run as I can pull it with my zero-turn.
Summary: Ted F'd me, but CC company took care of me. And I still want my damn free T-shirt Travis promised me.
