MONTANA TRACTORS

[JDeerekid]

What parts are you looking for that are hard to get?

Maka;784183]I can honestly say that Montana is working hard to make sure customer satisfaction is of extreme importance and the parts department is excellent to work with. Those guys are tops.

I am starting to wonder about Montana. We have had parts on order since July with a tractor down and no luck. After parts were more than a month late with no news from the factory, other than it will be here in a week or so, we tried another dealer. Same answer, one part was in stock and the other is coming from LS (the tractor maker). Now they again say it is coming. I don't want to send up any red flags but this is how things started with the "Farmtrac troubles". First farmtrac used Textron for floor planning, so does Montana. Farmtrac had loaded up dealers with transfers from other dealers, Montana is also doing this. Farmtrac had lost leadership people, Montana has also. Farmtrac lost a lot of dealers 5-6 months before they went into receivership, the Montana dealers I talked to also say they have lost a lot of dealers and that is where the tractor transfers are coming from. How many dealers do they really have now? Farmtrac had long delays in getting down time parts from LS because they were not paying their bills. Is this why I can't get my parts? Montana has a very good tractor but there are some very stark similarities between the two companies. I would love to get my parts and be proven wrong but I also think it is better to be aware of a trend before getting stuck in another mess!
Please prove me wrong but don't ignore the bear tracks in front of your tree stand and then complain about getting eaten by the bear!!!!!

The case king pin and king pin for the old style front axle or even a complete front axle, I was not being fussy.

Looks like the gremlins are getting your post too!!!! I do not own a Montana but there is alot of new inventory on several new dealer lots---Not as much as is on Kubota lots---Maybe all those folks saving $150,000 on repo houses will be able to afford $200 a month for a tractor --- we will see!!! Just seems like alot of inventory for the current market conditions. Maybe the MFG are making enough in the Big Farm sector to ride out this housing storm---If not there will be some more consolidation in the compact tractor market!!

OK, now I am a bit irritated. You posted this in another forum

Oh Textron, talked with more dealers this weekend! I will go to my grave telling everyone the facts and wrong doings about Textron. I will cost you money! I think we should start a new thread to warn Cub, Montana and other dealers.

You have been ranting and raving about conspiracies, injustices and other stuff about Farmtrac and Textron. Fine! but to come in here and start in like this on the Montana side is wrong, spiteful and shows you to be the disingenuous crackpot that you are.

You come here and attack Textron via Montana potentially harming Montana's reputation becuase you have an ax to grind with Textron. You don't own a Montana, are not a dealer so they owe you nothing!!!!!!!

Lets face it, you are a farmtrac dealer who is ticked at Textron and as you state above that you will cost Textron money. I would like to tell Montana and Textron that they should give you a little back.

You have stated your motive in writing and showed your desire to hurt Textron even at the expense of others you have no dealings with.

I am a dealer of Montana. Have been for years and in fact have sold probably more Montana tractors than any dealer and do not appreciate your viscious attempts to smear Textron through Montana. I have used Textron for years and they have been great to deal with.

So MONTANA and TEXTRON please deal with this guy as his posts here on TBN easily show an effort to harm other business because he is unhappy.

Maka

P.S. All Farmtrac dealers, I am truely sorry for your sad and difficult situation and as a dealer sympathize. I am in no way minimizing your hurts but this crackpot has gone way to far.

TBN and moderators, is this type of stuff allowed?

I don't want to steal the thread, nor do I totally agree with him. I unfortunately own a Kioti and continue to have more issues with under 200 hours on it. But it seems when someone is praising a brand or dealer all is fine. When it is critical of the same then there is a cry for the individual to be quiet.

Maybe if the dealers and tractor companies supported the product better after the purchase this would not happen.

And that is fine Jim but he does not own a Montana, is not a Montana dealer so what is his motive. He does not have any beef with Montana as I can see since he is not and never was a Montana customer in any capacity.

Hey, truth is truth good or bad but someone coming here for info and reading his post could come away and think this is a customer of Montana who is not getting service and support that is simply not the truth. He is trying to stir the wrong pot and that is not fair to us dealers and customers looking for info on the brand.

Thanks,
