""I'd rather have jap tires myself""
What do you think all the Firestone tires were that caused all the deaths and wrecks on the Fords???
As far as JD they already do everything that tres crow said. You can lease any equipment you want from them already. As far as parts go JD has the best parts line in the entire world. That is not from me that is from everybody in the business. You need a part for just about anything it is usually there that day or at the latest the following morning at 8am. You can order online, you can look at the schematics online, models, etc. You can pull up the catalogs or anything. There is nothing out there that even comes close to the deere parts line or the online services that deere provides. Not even auto mfg. have the level of online service that deere does. Deere has excellent loans, they have their own credit card for repairs, parts, etc. There isn't another tractor mfg. out there that matches it.
As far as service goes I will say you are right there. I do agree that deere needs to step up it's service and customer service as a whole. I have run into some great dealerships that go above and beyond but also some that still have the old mentality.
Deere corporate is changing. They offer very valuable invoice pricing to many corporations and the employees of that can take advantage as well.
As far as keeping up Deere is constantly on the cutting edge. Could they do more? Probably but what company couldn't.
The Kubota dealer in our area is what the deere dealer is in your area. They are rude, arrogant, have nothing in stock, and wouldn't give you a deal if you were their mother.
It's one thing to stir things up with fact but quite another when you stir things up with lies.
