Since we're guessing what might have happened, maybe he asked for the manual at the time the deal was made so he could read up on his new purchase? Maybe he waited a week or more and still never got the manual, so he told them not to deliver the tractor without it? Maybe they kept making excuses? Time of year makes no difference and excuses don't cut it. What if the wheels fell off? The dealer is responsible for pre delivery inspection and set up. In addition to not doing that, they din't even bother to put more than a few drops of fuel in it. If somebody wants to take my money, the least they can do is respect that I gave it to them and not their competition. The dealer messed up, plain and simple. Being brand loyal is one thing but siding with this dealer? I wouldn't deal with any dealer that treated me that way. My dad was a salesman for over 40 years and set many sales records. He was appointed directly by the OEM to be the salesman for several major brands of commercial turf equipment including Toro and Jacobsen, the 2 biggest. The proper thing to do if you show up somewhere without an appointment and another salesman is there, is to leave and come back another time. Other salesmen knew my dad and thought there was something fishy because he sold to places where they couldn't even get in the door. The reason he set sales records was because he went out of his way for his customers and they stayed loyal for 40 years because of it. When my dad passed away in 1997 he had about a 90% market share, the highest in Canada! He was at the point where customers would call him if they needed anything. It's all about customer service and knowing your product. If you don't have that in todays economy, you won't survive. Dave

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
