You've never seen anything stick/seize up on a new tractor that sat around the lot for months? I have. Stuck clutches come to mind immediately. It happens. It ~should~ have been caught in a final pre-delivery inspection... but you know what? I'd be willing to cut them some slack this time of year. Last week was a short/half work week for most people I think. If the deal was done monday and delivery expected tuesday, it didn't really leave much time did it? Mechanics were probably busy trying to clean up other jobs on down equipment to clean the shop out for christmas because probably some of those customers ~really~ needed the gear back... so doing a check over or fixup on something minor may not have been TOP priority. The same as rounding up a bunch of books that could be scattered throughout the premesis might not have been TOP priority. Sometimes, in the real world, everything can't get done all at once. I wonder was an ultamatum given that the tractor be delivered at SUCH AND SUCH a time or the deal was off? I'd wager that it probably was done that way... and you know what? The dealer probably gambled that they'd be dealing with a reasonable person who'd allow them to straighten things up in the coming days. Lookin' like the gambled wrong on that, but hey... I hope all you big boys and high rollers know that despite the trash talk from salesmen about their competitors, I think you'll find they ALL talk to each other on a pretty ~regular~ basis and maintain a fairly good freindship in some cases. They might cut each others throats for a deal, but they know who the good customers are and who the miserable ones are. So... you back out on this fella today, his buddy down the road is apt to hear about it before long... and when he sees you coming.... you can be darn sure there's a price for YOU. Why... I gathered a wealth of information, great and sundry from two salesmen who landed in my yard one day last spring. For 20 minutes they pissed and hissed at each other trading shots... but we all found out where each was, where he was going, what he was selling to whom and a few other bad deals that went down in places near and far. Be tough if you want, but I've always found that I got more with honey than vinegar.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
