Let's see here...you've got a standard pickup truck,so I'm guessing about an 8-foot bed. And you're looking at a 7-foot finish mower. OK, so since the distance between the wheel wells won't be over about 54" [that's 4-1/2 feet], it won't fit width-wise. And turned sideways, it MIGHT fit if there's no trailing wheels, and if you remove the hitch...but even THAT sounds iffy. [I'm not even a farmer, and I can figure THAT much out.]
So at what point did you NOT figure out that the mower wouldn't fit in the pickup bed? Did you not carry a tape measure to check? [Basic essential equipment for folks like me who can't always count on "eyeball estimates" down to 1/2" accuracy]
Bottom line is...YOU didn't check. Equipment dealer, like a car dealer, will say what he has to say to make the sale. You probably didn't tell him before you arrived that you were picking up that mower with a 6000-mile "new" truck, either...as opposed to the average farm truck. Whenever I sell something, unless delivery is included in the deal, the ways and means of moving said merchandise is at the discretion of the BUYER...and I'm pretty sure most equipment dealers operate the same way. If you even had the first INKLING that the mower wouldn't fit the truck, you should've stopped the seller from even ATTEMPTING to load it for you.
Just my opinion...your mileage may vary, void where prohibited, yadda yadda yadda.
