    Can't believe Sams Club did me this.

    I will never go back to Sams' for tires. Had a set of BFG KO2s put on a Ford Superduty. Truck rode rough, I took the tires back and asked that the rebalance the fronts. After waiting two weeks for an appointment. Watched as the tech balanced only the rear tires, then the TLE supervisor...

    My new Husqvarna 545 mark ii

    I have a pair of 545s I use, they're great little saws. Just picked up a 562XP to check it out. Wife has a Husqvarna sewing machine, we took a picture of "his and hers tools". Would like to find a Husqvarna rifle to add to the collection.

    Modern equal to mythical Stihl 026 chainsaw?

    Agreed except for the 545MK2, carried by some stores. That's a real pro Husky saw. The rest are "homeowner" saws. It's hard to do the comparison between homeowner and pro except once a person runs a pro saw, they know the difference. Good point. When I was getting started in saws, I...

    lowe's wrong chain saw in box

    Having spent some time in retail, customers have been told "they're always right" and act like it. Such that it's difficult to differentiate between the legitimate problem, and the person making a scene if they don't get their way. Some time back I was in a Tractor Supply store looking to...

    New Tractor Sales Are Declining

    It was always going to decline - the "outdoors bubble" is over. Folks who escaped the cities during Covid, playing homesteader, are moving back due to jobs. We know a couple who did this, and moved back because they missed going out to restaurants. No different than any other fad. Soon...

    New Tractor manufacturer

    I believe there is an untouched market out there of homeowners/hobby farmers who could use a tractor, but don't know it. Building a tractor brand from scratch that has no current US presence, like Summit is doing, could be just the ticket for these folks. Give them a full featured tractor at a...

    Wanted L3902HST - DEALERS DO NOT RETURN PHONE CALLS

    I bought my last Kubota on a whim - saw the unit on tractorhouse, price was "call for details" but one of the pics had a price tag readable by zooming in - called and the price was just a little above the sticker in pic (and well under MSRP), and the drive was only 1.5 hours away. Went to the...

    Is new equipment really that hard to come by?

    I believe there was a pretty steep price increase as of 4/1 so you did good in keeping it. Enjoy your tools and toys and health in a well earned retirement.

    Is new equipment really that hard to come by?

    Must be the area. Plenty of z421/422 around here. Plenty of every kind of mower it seems. I bought a 421/54 last month as it was aged inventory and 20pct less than the new ones.

    Experience at Kubota dealer - central Florida

    Yes, I often forget them but they're nearby and great. Don't seem to move many Tractors but they're one of the few mom n pops left. I find Crystal to be hit and miss. They were 20pct higher for my tractor and now that Kubota has consolidated dealers my last equipment purchase they were...

    Experience at Kubota dealer - central Florida

    Congrats on the machine. Did you have to go to Ocala and get it? Drove by that dealer a few weeks back, they look very stocked up. I hope that the service is Good - they never got back to me on a quote and its turned over owners since then. I'm guessing you're east Seminole, what kind of...
