After having a few minutes to reflect on this I remember a couple of conversations from many years back. I recall a couple of dealers when asked about why they dropped their lawn and garden line replied that in part it was the shop running at a loss to handle them. I can remember working at Central Tractor back in the day that many people pushed issues that were in no way warranty issues and the same most likely is true with a Deere or Cub Cadet shop. There was a set rule in that a CT store was not to take a mower back under any circumstance but a few times a season a mower would be taken back.
