Filters question??

[paulharvey]

That is fine, your local dealer will gladly take your "donations" to the bank. Its personal choice, but I dont try to get hung up on the local stuff. Sure I like walmart, but only when theyre cheaper and/or closer. Nothing says loyal small business like price gouging.

Good for you and your Wal-Mart mentality(compete or die)gotta love that attitude.Not me I am for the local small business person that gives back to the community.

Let me guess. You voted for obammy , right?

I agree 100%!! I have no use for China mart, their attitude, the way they treat their employees!!

I shop locally, as the local economy is most important!!

I agree also,but one has to remember you always have to throw a internet bully into the mix to disagree with a few low posts groupes to laugh and agree with him.I guess it,s the gang mentality.LOL

I support the dealer where i purchased my tractor. I actually purchased enough filters and such to make it thru the 600 hour service. This way i didnt have to pay shipping or increase in prices for a few years.

Personally I agree with the OP that there is value in having a local knowledgeable dealer available to help with my needs. Surfing cannot compare with being able to make a single phone call to someone that knows me by name and getting exactly what I need. One of my dealers' parts guy lives nearby, he will drop parts off at my barn door for no extra charge and just mail me a bill. The parts or fluids are installed well before he gets my check in the mail. I know I will never be able to find that on the internet. I am happy to support a guy that will go the extra mile for me, and I'd be a fool to argue with him over a couple bucks on filters.

If you haven't tried your local dealer's customer service you might be missing out.

Interesting thread. Thanks for the insight.

As far as we know, every owner and employee at every dealership is also a consumer. Wonder how they make their buying decisions for products or services that other consumers are producing in other businesses.

We are all up for auction.

Not to worry. The whiners on this thread would have everyone in business doing everything FREE if they could have their way - obviously they are completely clueless about how the economy and business in general work. Overhead, markups and staying in business are of no consequence to them; they're probably living off the rest of our hard work anyway, and feel entitled to everything off the backs and sweat of others. Just one theory of the 'if you're in business you're out to screw me' mentality and their ilk.
Pay no heed to their lunacy.

Yep, thank goodness there are enough people out there that appreciate the value of my service.

I couldnt agree more!! I like to call this the WalMart attitude, more from the people at Walmart syndrome. Parts and service are how dealers remain in business, with out that, they may not be around next week, or when you really need them.

I love how the whiners scatter when they get called out.coobie

I bought my grapple from MIE, does the make me a walmartrian?

 

[DK35vince]

Let me see if I've got this straight.
Several of you are telling me if I can't afford to pay a dealer $75-100 per hour for service and chose to do it myself so I can afford to eat that week.
And I prefer not to drive a 2 hour + round trip to buy filters from my closest dealer and buy them from a local auto store. That makes me a whiner and a mucher.
What BS

No! No one is calling you anything. What I posted relates ONLY to those who have been whining about if one CHOOSES to buy something, anything, from a tractor dealer then they are being ripped off because they're not buying at below wholesale or it's not less than free.
Nonesense rants about being looked in the eye and a handshake and paying someone a decent markup so they can EARN the rewards of being in business and struggling to make ends meet, at the discretion of lame no nothing whiners. If they had their way everyone who didn't give them whatever they wanted for less than free should go out of business.:confused2::irked:
The above isn't your way of doing things, right?

BTW, Vince you know a place where labor is $75/hr? Wow! That's a bargain these days
