Brand Loyalty

[frank_f15]

I think it is more important for the brand to be LOYAL TO THE CUSTOMER. by that i mean, i will continue buying a certain brand of anything AS LONG as they maintain giving a good product at a fair price. but basically i am loyal to myself and my family, without satisifed customers the BRAND AIN'T SQUAT

I am with you on that.

Frank you said that quite nicely. I agree 100%

Ford Winstar tryed to kill my family with known defective front springs. Conclusion: I will never consider owning another Ford ever again. )</font>

The front springs weren't a "known" issue to everyone, only those in the snowbelt where road salt is used. Besides, they gave you free plastic shields to contain the broken spring pieces.
Now the rear head gasket blowing, THAT was (is) a known issue. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Anyway, I hear ya, no more Ford vans here either. Made in America Honda for us. Guess that means I'm not "brand loyal" /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Myself, I've bought and still buy many things on a whim (wife pointed this out to me /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif). If I like what I see, it's mine. Some only a few bucks, some in the tens of thousands of dollars.
The way I see it, no matter what BRAND/BADGE you buy, you could always end up with a lemmon. Life's not perfect and neither are many of the things we buy. Gerard

I will agree also . We all have certain brands we lean too for one reason or another, but value and dependability for my hard earned dollar goes along way . To me color takes a back seat to service and quality of product.

When talking tractors on TBN I notice brand loyalty, after reading your reply's on the subject I notice one thing you guy's have in common... None of you are color blind,and that is important to me or anyone that knows very little on tractors.. Unfortunately in my view I did come across member's that are either dealer in disquises or incredibly blinded by their color. Thank's for the help on the subject... cag

Cag,
If it is cheap enough I will take on any tractor. There are no bad tractors, some are just better than others.

Yep, several people on here with "money to be made" concerns. But then something has to pay to keep this board running.

The majority of us are not dealers or anything, but most seem to be color biased. Usually biased to whatever color tractor they bought, even if it is there first tractor /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I guess most of us never outgrew the "My dad can whip your dad" or "my dog is bigger/better than your dog" mentality. Or maybe we don't want to admit we don't have the best tractor around. I dunno...

Not running anyone down, just observations.

<GASP> I'm offended by that statement. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif (joking of course)

They don't get anymore colorblind than me. (completely serious)

Actually your dog is most likely much larger than my dog. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
