Truth in advertising...?

(Btw.. said company is not a competitor in my area)

Messick's "area" covers most of the Northeast and Mid Atlantic. I have personally worked on equipment sold by them in Connecticut and NY. I have attended service schools with Messick techs that make week-long trips servicing self-propelled forage harvesters beyond their home state. Neither of which are bad things, but it is misleading to try to act like a little mom & pop store.

Some of the "aproved advertisers" on this site are getting out of hand.

Messick is NOT an "approved advertiser". In other words he is not a paying advertiser on TBN.

So, would you expect an individual who truly believes his products to be superior to state otherwise?

Personally I appreciate a dealer taking the time to read and participate in these forums. At the same time I view posts from advertisers as that, opinions of advertisers who have a vested interest in furthering their product and their business.

I own Kubotas, John Deeres, Fords, one Case and a Massey Ferguson; the "best" across the board simply doesn't exist any more.

Wow - I think everbody needs a little seat time to calm down!

I think Neil's coments weren't quite that out of line. I took them to mean: "Marketing information cannot be trusted..." rather than: " My tractors are better than your tractors...".

Now everyone get up out of the chair, go to your tractor and do something constructive. Mow some grass, move some dirt, check the oil levels, tire pressure in the tail wheel of the brush hog ( ), aka - anything with your tractor! Smelling that sweet intoxicationg aroma of an efficient little diesel engine will definately calm your nerves and make the world right again.

I am "afixin" to do that very thing; gonna fire up my L5030 to move some crushed rock, work on my roads and push some brush if I have time; can't beat it.

My renters were out with their JD8320's I think just love to hear those big engines under load and the smell of fresh worked earth.
