Hi, I ordered new rims, and Firestone tires, for my Ford 5000. Should I put tubes in them right off the bat? I do have a loader on this tractor.
As a bit of a rant, I went to the New Holland dealer and asked about new rims. They said $440 each, which I thought was ridiculous and I expressed my dismay. When I got home, I looked on the internet and in 3 minutes found new rims for $67 each in Sask. I'm in BC and the shipping is $30 each. Needless to say, I ordered two.
The disheartening thing is that the New Holland dealer was not quoting original factory rims either, and they would not listen to reason. And this is not the first time. Last year I was buying an hydraulic motor, and the same dealer quoted $800. I called around and got a price of $400 retail in Edmonton. I went back to the local dealer and told them I would like to support local business, but that their margin is significantly too high and told them the price I could get the same motor for in Alberta. They would not budge on their price... so I ordered the motor from Alberta. After shipping, I saved $360 over the local dealer price.
I would like to support our local businesses, but they seem to be gouging us. And I find that disrespectful, and immoral.
