Well I pulled the trigger on a new box blade Friday afternoon, however I think the dealer made a mistake or intentionally screwed me over. The blade I bought was supposed to be a Woods BSM 72, I was in there about a month ago and was quoted a price of $1300 for that blade, I was told they keep that model in stock in the 72 and 84 size and could come back and purchase it whenever I liked. Well Friday I went down and bought the blade for a project I have at my mother's house. I told the salesman I want to buy one of your 72 inch BB's out front, he asked had I talked to anyone yet, I said a month ago I got prices on the 72 and 84 of 1300 and 1500, he sat at his desk and looked at pricing and said yes that is the correct price and proceeded to fill out the paperwork and sell me the blade. The mechanic loaded it on my trailer and away I went.
I got home after business hours and unloaded the blade, this is where the trouble started, the blade I was sold is not the BSM it is the BSS. I don't know if this is an honest mistake on their part like someone ordered in the wrong merchandise or if this is an intentional screw job, however honest mistake or not, that salesman should have known I was quoted a price for the BSM and not the BSS at 1300 dollars and either informed me they had the lighter weight blade and adjusted the price accordingly or told me I would have to wait for them to get the BSM in stock, either way I am mad as a wet hornet right now!!! I had planned to get this yard graded out and the driveway repaired over this weekend and now I cannot as I don't want to use this blade as I plan to see to it they take it back and get the proper one. At a minimum they are going to refund me the price difference between the models and I will sell it and buy the proper blade from a different vendor.
They also have these blades advertised on Tractorhouse and Fastline as BSM72's when if you click through the pictures of them you can see they are actually BSS, too bad I didn't see that before I made the purchase.
