Iowa Farm Equipment

["Better off with Deere"]

I stopped at Iowa Farm Equipment near Tipton, Iowa couple days ago. I acknowledge I did drive into an apparent exit drive. As I was viewing a tractor and flail chopper I had all intentions of purchasing, I was blindsided by a man who said I came in wrong way, which I did. First time I have ever been talked to so rudely over driving in to view an anticipated piece of equipment I intended to purchase. Was told I "blew" through his cones. I was moving slowly looking at equipment as I was going. Not sure that is called blowing through but I guess it is his business and apparently is so good you don't need more sales. I have read reviews prior to coming there and dismissed the negative remarks. That was first mistake, second one was actually going there. As I drove quietly out of his lot I noticed him taking a picture of my plate. That in itself tells me I would never recommend this place. And per his previous replies to criticism, I "am not a customer". He made sure I was not. Shame as I had money on hand to purchase without financing. If there were 10 stars to rate I would not give one good one. Possibly could have if given opportunity to view equipment but never got chance. Terrible experience.

Wow, you upset his entire security system. Kind of glad I live in a small town. Picture of the local equipment dealer.

I dunno, I kinda take offense to your name…..

Did ya ever think there could be more to the story?

Used to be a local Massey dealer like that around here. Ran around yelling at staff and customers. Have no idea how he ever built a business. They pulled his dealership but not before he cost them plenty of customers.
Some people are just like that.
Be glad you came in the wrong way. At least you didn't waste any time getting to know him/them.

Probably won't stay in business long acting like that.

5 years ago, I ordered an $8K flail mower from the Iowa Farm Equipment website and had it shipped to the east coast. It arrived sooner than promised but was missing some small parts. They were proprietary to the machine and couldn't be purchased locally. I called and spoke to a very helpful person who promptly shipped the missing parts. Not sure if it was the same guy or not though.

The price wasn't great but I needed the implement right away. I normally deal locally but they were the only dealer who had this particular unit in stock. Overall, I was satisfied with the transaction.

Just my experience though, so take it for what it's worth.

Yea, when I hear a story such as this I take it for what it's worth to me, which is nothing. At 65 years old I have been in a lot of situations with a lot of different people from devout Christians to the most unsavory individuals you could run into. An experience like this is highly unusual. People typically don't act like that unprovoked. I see no merit in putting a black eye on someone's business with a story like this. There's usually an agenda when someone joins for the sole purpose of posting something like this. I'm sure there is much more to this story than what we have read.

Pretty much exactly how I felt when I read it! Very well put!

If this wasn’t this persons first post it might mean something. As it is I’m not sure what to make of it, he came on here to badmouth a dealer and may or may not make another appearance.

And @"Better of with Deere" will probably only post again to say we are all bad for not 100% agreeing with him and drinking his kool-aid.
First post and it is an advertisement for Deere and an advertisment telling us not to shop at a location that takes sales away from ..........
