It is obvious that I struck a raw nerve with a lot of you. But if I can, I will try to clarify a few things.
First of all, with the motorcycle salesman, no where in my post did I say the he was complaining about the customers. If you would carefully read what is written, it says that he stated. Just because he stated that they were more demanding and difficult to please does not mean that he was complaining about it, it was just a statement of fact and that is all. This whole thread bears that out.
There was also a post regarding the price of the tractor. "20K for a 10K machine that costs 20K." If a person can afford the property to need a tractor, then they can afford the 20K for the tractor. My whole point was that if you worked your way up in life to get to the point where you want something for a need, why beat up the other guy on price to the point where you say that his product costs double of what it should be selling for. If you feel that the tractor is double in price for what it is worth, then maybe your job pays you twice as much as you are worth.
We have all worked hard to get where we are and to afford what we have. if you are not saying the the price is twice of what it is worth, then I was not referring to you.
It just bugs me when people belittle the price of a product and state that the price is way to high. If that is the case, they should not be looking at the product, as it is obvious, to me at least, that they cannot afford it.
When it comes to the performance of the product, then I am picky. I buy them to use and they had better work each and every time. Right now all three of tractors are sitting out in the rain. Right where they were used and where they will be used when it it dry enough. Some people wash their tractors, this is how mine get washed.
To me a few scratches are just cosmetic and that is all. When you buy a tractor, it should not look like the dickens, but look good, things many happen that I might overlook, but it looks like I am in the minority here in that respect.
