Att: W. NC Tarheel Tractor now belly up!

Dave1953 · Apr 25, 2009

Be advised that all 3 locations of Tarheel Tractor & Equiptment in western NC are now closed. This is the Lenoir, Conover & Deep Gap dealers. I called about getting some warranty work done and was promptly told that they were no longer a New Holland dealer and hasta la vista! Now the closest dealer is 40 miles away in Wilkesboro, NC. Just my luck. I buy a brand new TC34DA, 14la FEL and 758C BH 1 yr. ago and now the dealer goes belly up. I should have listened to my friends advice and bought a Kubota! Their local dealer will probably never go under!

40 miles ain't that far,takes me about 50 min or so to get to my closest kioti dealer. Many are much futher away from their closest dealer.

Well doggone them people. How can they do that? I mean after all they have no right to go out of business, especially when there is one person out there who has a New Holland tractor. Especially one that needs warrenty work done after a year of use.

Silly them, imagine filing for bankruptcy or closing, in this day and age. They should have known that someone out there needed warranty work, and told all of their creditors they were just going to have to wait for their money, because one person might need warranty work. Their employees are a bunch of greedy people as well....think of it they go to work and expect to be paid....when there is one person out there that may need warranty work. Can't trust anyone now days....especially employees who expect to be paid.

Yeap, alot of the so called fly-by-dealers are going under. They got in when credit was cheap and they won't have the cash reserves for the long haul. This economy is going to clean out alot of small ownerships and trim the fat on the bigger ones.

Your a real credit to this site. We would all be upset if you went belly up!

When I bought it new 13 months ago the hydrostatic transmission was full of water and I just discovered it when I did my 50 hr maintence procedures. It sat outside on the dealer lot around 18 months before I bought it and either rainwater got in it somehow or there musta been a lot of condensation from heating and cooling. Anyway, the factory man basically told me it was my problem, not theirs.
