Backhoe BH76 Backhoe problem on new 3030- can't swing to the left

[JOHNTHOMAS]

I understand your frustration as you expressed it in your diatribe or dissertation. I spend a bit of time each morning visiting Amazon.com, Fatwallet.com and Ebay Daily deals hunting for bargains that I don't need. I hate getting a product that doesn't work or tears up very shortly after purchase. I never/rarely buy extended warrantys because most things that are going to tear up usually do so immediately or in the first month per my experience. When I find one of these cheaper bargains on line, I have to ask myself if I should order it or go to Walmart and pay a few dollars more so I can walk back in to their store, lay the product on their counter and say "I want my money back" and stand there till they process my refund. I know most places on line that are reputable will take the product back and refund the money after I repackage it and pay for shipping it back and call my credit card company and stop payment. I'm not a pro or con for Walmart. I served my country in war so I could have the choice of where I spend my earned income without guilt of not buying/buying from anyone I choose. I also hate seeing these downtowns going to pot because all the stores are closing but that's life and the old days are gone and people can wish we still had one doctor for a town and had to ride horses to work but it ain't going to happen no more than going back to black and white TV isn't going to happen or getting rid of TV's and going back to radios. So, in summation, the lack of standing behind a defective product and lower pricing have made the Walmarts, Sam's, Costcos flourish. Good or bad, that's the way it is. The "good" old days are gone and Happy Days Are Here. Just helping you vent.

What was that Michael Douglas movie...Falling Down

With baseball bat in hands
"I'm rolling back prices to 1965!!"

"You think I'm a thief? Oh, you see, I'm not the thief. I'm not the one charging 85 cents for a *_____* soda! You're the thief. I'm just standing up for my rights as a consumer!"

that movie was great, I gotta go buy it now.

captin....you just made me lose my tea!! For some reason, I loved that movie! lol Something about looking up at that burger menu and seeing a nice thick and juicy hamburger...steaming hot....ready to eat one just like it....:licking:and then he gets his!! It's mashed flat, looks nothing like what he ordered...and how many times have you felt like him!! Out comes that bat again....or semi-automatic...heck I can't remember...but I think I'll go rent it tomorrow too!

John...it's just sad ain't it! The Hunter Douglas rep came by today and said "I want THEM to see this" (meaning my conglomeration). So he's taking them all down and carrying them back to production so they can't deny it. He said, "unfortunately...this is a cost cutting measure gone terribly bad...and when our customers have to point it out to us it makes us look bad." So...I feel like this problem will be taken care of finally...but it took me I don't know how many phone calls to corporate to finally get some attention. Where's my bat....
