Just so you guys know....

Those are the best... even when confronted with the facts.. they stick to their story.. then pass the buck over to someone else.... gotta love unscrupouless sales-people... ( nothing against those sales-people out there WITH scruples... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif )

Many salesmen never look at the product information, even if they are given it. They just repeat what they have heard or worse, make it up. If they are repeating something that they heard, it may have been made up by some previous sales person. It is amazing how few people take the time to learn a subject or piece of knowlege thoroughly or check the facts that they are telling customers. If they did learn it and know the pro's and con's of the the equipment, then they would be successful. I bet if you went back six months later to the salesman that you had proven untrue, he would tell you the same lie--he just doesn't care enough to look into it and figure out the real reason.

his guy acknowledged that the engine was the same, he said that the 4WD made the hp go up. I understood what he meant, the problem was HE DIDN'T! I lost a few sales to those guys. One time I had a man looking at one of my Yanmars and I explained to him that it did not have a live PTO and he said that he would get the identical tractor from the guy on the highway because his Yanmar did! There was no convincing the guy otherwise. Their business didn't last long.

Maybe you should have put a live pto on yours! Just get a sticker made that says live pto and you can put it on and point to it. Guess it doesn't matter that it isn't live, but you made the sale (until someone figures out that it isn't and files a complaint with the attorney general).

There is a sucker born every minute. Just tell them some story that the sucker can feel as if he is getting a deal and often he will bite. He may never know that he was taken, or if he ever figures it out he will probably be too embarassed to file a complaint.

Guys, you got it all wrong.
JD does own Yanmar because they bought that engine from Yanmar. Once you buy it , you own it. Therefore they do actually own that Yanmar engine in the JD tractor. That is what he was trying to tell you. bw
