John, you took the words right out of my mouth. Did you get your Blue Book? I got mine. I have my eye on one of the 5' box blades - so what time you going to get there? /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif I guess we never realized how much we depended on CT/QF or whatever!

No, don't have a blue book. I was just starting to frequent Central Tractor and Quality Farm n Home, before they closed. Never had one of their Q cards. Can you request a Blue Book on their website?

BTW, I plan to be there one hour before you. I'll tell them to hold that last one for you /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

John, was this the "Grand Opening" as you predicted - 10% off all purchases, or was it just the grand opening of the Amsterdam TSC? It looks like a rush on the 5' box blades next Monday in Cortland and I wondered if you knew if the Grand Opening was worth waiting for.

Hi Duane...

I have yet to visit the local TSC.../w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif So, I really don't know what specials, if any are being offered...

I guess from not having anything to having something is "special" in it's own right...? /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif

But, from a business standpoint... as soon as TSC has enough "new" storefronts up and running... then we should see a "Super Nationwide Grand Opening and Re-openings" of all the TSC's... but hey... I don't run the company... I'm just looking in a common sense business crystal ball... /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

John, I hear you. I don't think I'm going to hold off. I need that box scraper and JohnS says he's going to get to the store an hour before me. I don't think so! /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

I frequented CT for years for hardware and parts for my 2N Ford. Just about the time I got my new JD 4100, they closed the doors. I've priced box blades at different dealers, and from what I read on TBN, the KK is a good product and value priced at TSC. So this is what I've been waiting for!

Well, I hope the line at the door is not like the opening of a Star Wars movie! /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Just judging by how many of us TBN'ers are chompin' at the bit to get into the new TSC's, I think we will have pretty long lines!/w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif I know I can't wait for the grand opening sales (assuming that they have them!)!

Re: Tractor Supply Co-Amsterdam, NY Grand Opening...

I thought I read somewhere that there is a 10% off your first purchase, for signing up for a TSC credit card. If true, I don't have much use for another credit card, but do for that 10% off. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Re: Tractor Supply Co-Amsterdam, NY Grand Opening...

10% off??? Where do I sign up?? I wonder if that would be on top of the GRAND OPENING SALE that we're hoping for. If the GRAND OPENING SALE is 10%, that could give us 20% off!!!/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Of course this is how rumors start!!!/w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif

Re: Tractor Supply Co-Amsterdam, NY Grand Opening...

And if enough people spread the rumor, does it make it fact? /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Actually will be happy to get the KK rotary cutter and boxblade at their standard discount. 10% off would take care of NYS tax, which would be a bonus. The last time I waited for the big sale (QFF closing), everything was gone in a flash. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

The implements I saw at Cortland were all new. No faded paint and rust from sitting through the winter.
