Edit, I have decided just to forward a link to this thread to the dealer as well as Niel Messick instead of individual comments.

Arsenix2001, Neil Messick is on here quite often so hopefully he will intervene in this. Just wondering was Neil your salesman? I found this on Messick's web site, maybe you should contact the owner and show him all of the responses. Good luck and please keep us informed, we're all pulling for you.
Today Messick's is operated by Merville Messick's sons: Bob and Ken, and his Grandchildren: Scott, Bryan, Neil and Kevin.

Just have to post on this one. I am just a back yard joe like lot here but when I weld something together its the best I can with the tools i have. Never in my life have I seen bade workmanship as this come out of a reputable co. (i thought) has nothing to do with price, this blower will be hard on chains and sprockets and on the ears to. I have a new JD blower from last year and the chain and sprockets are just perfect by the sound and the look when it runs. Do not stay with this unit, it will make you very unhappy and in the near future you will have to unload on someone else. Let them have the problem.......Salut

From what I understand we are working on this. Understand, we sit in the middle of these things and advocate for customers. We need to give Woods a chance to look at and respond to things before jumping to conclusions. We sell about a half dozen lines of blowers, I'm awefully disappointed how this one seems to be going myself. I think highly of Woods and thats not what I expect of their products.
From what I understand, the Woods factory rep is stopping out Monday to take a look at it.

Neil, I'm sorry but this whole thing is BS! We are in the middle of winter and arsenix2001 might need the blower NOW. You mean to tell me that Messicks couldn't offer him another brand of snowblower to make him a satisfied customer, then work this out with Woods? If Messicks had offered another blower to arsenix2001 Messicks would be getting all kind of praises here instead of all the negative comments. After this is resolved do you think 1) arsenix2001 will purchase from you again? and 2) Don't you think this is hurting Messick's reputation and will turn some people off who might otherwise have bought from you? This ain't brain surgery!

I will just say this, its a crummy situation for everyone involved. I think I have been polite and extremely patient through 2 months, 2 failed repairs/three bad augers but fourth strike and I'm done. I truely hope Woods figures out a very quick resolution to this. I will leave this alone until I hear what they say on Monday. At least I know Im not crazy, and this is NOT normal operation. Have a great weekend everyone. :drink:

had there been no positive movement on this, than we would have come up with a different resolution. At this point, including now, going down this path is the best way to a quick and proper resolution. You don't just whip up a 74" blower with hydraulic angle and chute rotation on a whim. Even a dealership of our size may sell one a year like that. Things like BX's and common things are much easier to do a quick switch with to resolve issues.

I appreciate the support guys, but dont bash messicks so bad please. This thread was only created to get opinions on the operation seen in the video. Granted this has sucked to say the least, but they have been helpful through this. Were mistakes made, yes, but the majority of blame in my eyes goes to woods on this one for constantly providing flawed parts. My only gripe with messicks was when the notion was being brought up that this was possibly normal operation, which I hope they see is not the case. There is no reason for the drive not to run completely smooth just as the numerous other posters units do. Im keeping my fingers crossed for any quick positive outcome from woods on monday. Thank you to Niel and Don for thier continued persuit in this.

I think that you are expecting way too much out of a non precision implement!
Does it blow snow?
Does it blow it at least 30 feet?
Do it do it's job without breaking?
This is not a 80k Mercedes
