http://www.agrimarketing.com/s/104550 This is a list of the top 10 agri dealers in the US. With the lowest having 20 locations. Even the #10 would have a couple lawyers and a legal team on the payroll just waiting for something to do. If you decided to pursue the issue you would have to park your mower to preserve the conditions of it. And you would not be able to sale it. You'd be looking at aprox 3 to 6 years before it actually made its way to a judge. Good luck hope this info helps some. Maybe others will offer their thoughts.
I find it very hard to see how a 50hr machine can be wore out . Your obviously not happy with it. What are the issues your having with it?

Hi Folks!! :smile: I have a 'legal eagle' type question for someone out there. Here's the scenario.........I purchased a '61" Scag Turf Tiger zero turn'(demo mower, 50 hrs) in good faith from one of the largest agriculture dealers in the US, only to be SHOCKED at what turned up!! 1 worn out mower, requiring many repairs.The unit sent alarm bells to me, so I contacted the manufacturer who have been VERY helpful in informing me of the age of my mower. To cut to the chase.......the mower is '7 years OLDER' than what the company states/stands by. To confirm the age difference I did research on the engine, and asked the manufacturer about the engine, only to be told it was 1 year older/8 years.
Could someone tell me there thoughts of what they would do in this instance if this happened to them! Thank you for taking time to read this!! :smile: Gav.
.........I purchased a '61" Scag Turf Tiger zero turn'(demo mower, 50 hrs) . . . .
. . . The hour meter does 'dimly' display more than 1400 hours. . . .
. . . Collapsed bearings[/B], don't happen to demo machinery! Seized components don't happen in 50 hours either! . . . .
well you can allways use social media to bring light on them if that dealer has a twitter or face book page, not to mention google reviews, yelp etc
the squeaky wheel gets the grease and at the least mabie you save someone else from your plight
sorry you got screwed!
Hi, :smile: thank YOU for the info...............well you are correct and I have nothing to loose!! :thumbsup: Yes......'rattle their daggs' is the saying this end of the planet for them!! :thumbdown:
The doggy dealer I purchased the mower from is: Ag-pro companies,(https://www.agprocompanies.com/) the branch was, Middleburg, Florida. :thumbdown: Sorry to say.......out of the 4 businesses I had dealings with concerning the 2 pieces of equipment I purchased in the states only 50% get my tick of approval!!
Well onward and upward they say................thanks again for the info!! Gav.
These statements are inconsistent. Did the ad say 50 hours, but they shipped you a 1,400 hour machine? If so, that would be fraud and you could contact the Attorney General's office of the state where the dealer is located. But I agree with the other posters that your options are limited at this point.
Didn't the ad show a picture of the hour meter?
Over here in the Central Fl. (Orlando) area we have a ( actually a few ) TV News stations with Investigative reporters ..
you lodge a complaint, and if they find the the consumer has been "wronged" ... they splash it all over the news and pursue the situation, trying to get things turned into the desired results !! They do a great job , covering everything from bad products to politicians ...might want to check around YOUR area for a consumers action group or a news outlet willing to help you . As stated earlier in this thread ... you need big bucks to go after these " anal-cavitys " pretending to be trustworthy business folks... by all means file a complaint to your local Business Bureau.... good luck....:mur:
Reynold, I'm sure he got the point and he'll know from now on. That was why I mentioned doing a video posting and perhaps start up a review site.
Our new friend from down unda, no worries mate. Keep posting and keep us all informed.

I wouldn't worry about him losing login credential...after all, there are some 200 more boards just like this one here out there he can sign up for. And they'll all be glad to have him.Yes I do understand what you are saying and sure hope to keep our new friend from down under. Just don't want to see him get banded form this forum for some innocent foolish mistake that isn't his fault.

In my opinion...we need to emphasize the importance of making ***LAWN MOWING BUSINESS GREAT AGAIN*** by exposing all the liberal-lefty corrupt dealers! How's that for forum policy violation?

Thank you for the input, mhavanti!! :thumbsup: :smile: I don't think I have done the dirty on anyone nor do I feel wrong doing.....it is I that payed just about new price for an antique mower. Then the shipping, etc. All the dealer had to do, was a simple letter/e-mail to the manufacturer of the mower with the serial number!! To which they have NOT done, nor will do because of the ramifications!! In this day and age of the web/net communication is much easier than the past, what I am trying to say is people should be able to air/tell the truth about businesses, I do believe it only makes good businesses better, and bad won's wake up!!
I am NOT out to target anyone on this forum.........I think some people may have old bones to chew on.........but me.......just an axe to grind!! :laughing: The problem with me is I like to work......I cannot stand shallow people, lazy peopleand people that like to think the world revolves around their ego!!
To me bulls hit, is only good for 1 thing......growing mushrooms!! I have a decent mower to use to cut my lawns, but choose to let it rest, as that is what it likes, not to work. Nothing beats mowing over an acre with an 18 inch PUSH mower!! Exercise!! Maybe I should buy a couple of sheep........grass at bay......free fertiliser!! :laughing: Barrr....... :laughing: Take care, Gav
by exposing all the liberal-lefty corrupt dealers!
The reasons I don't think this is right to bring up the name of the dealer
You are only hearing one side of the story. Also some people like to make trouble and bitch just to do it. Do you believe everything you read from strangers? Its not fair to the dealer. This may be a very good and honest dealer, how do you know? This isn't how our court system is run so why should it be OK for a forum.
Yes its Ok to complain but lets leave out the dealers names. This has been brought in the pass and it seems there is a ruling on this. Lets hear from the administrator or moderator on this.

Excellent comment!! :smile: Bang on the nail!! :thumbsup:
I have read your comments....................I personally believe in the TRUTH!! Let the TRUTH be told!! :thumbsup: I understand I am a STRANGER to you, that is true!! But what I have said and what I have in photo's documents, etc. Tells the same story...........the TRUTH!! I don't agree with communism.......gagging people with general day to day chit chat.......and the TRUTH!! Let the T R U T H be told!! I understand some people do NOT like hearing the TRUTH, as the saying goes........the TRUTH often hurts!! Its NOT about dirty laundry.........its about the TRUTH!!
Reynoldston,
I mean, what is you affliction with this dealer? Why are you defending him? You're a smart guy, most people here appreciate your professional take on things that actually matter to people who frequent this board. It's obvious that dealer saw poster's mailing address and figured that he could unload some junk from his lot because he knew that, that junk ain't coming back once shipped overseas. I bet that the dealer also knew that there is more sheep on that island then humans. Can you imagine what a 'DAY WITHOUT WOMEN' looks like over there? (too funny, sorry NZ) The dealer also realized that them guys still are driving on the wrong side of the road...and that's like 150 years after an automobile was invented!!! So, all those things prompted him to 'go for it' take a chance to screw some poor bloke out of his hard earned NZ dollars! That is all.
What in the world has TRUTH got to do with any of this. Yes it dose sound to me like the dealer did you a dirty deed and yes you can talk about it with truth. I do feel bad about what that the dealer did to you. BUT is all one sided yours and not the dealers. This has nothing to do about putting the dealers name on this forum. You say you don't agree with communism as long as everybody agrees with you. I don't know you or the dealer and you don't know mine so lets just keep names out of it. I never said you aren't speaking the TRUTH.
NO NAMES
Interesting last post/comment you put............. quote "I am defending all dealers good or bad" That says a lot................ defend bad businesses!! Well I will say this!! Like hell I will go quietly and "I WILL never NEVER DEFEND BAD PEOPLE or BAD BUSSINESS!!" NAME THEM!! SHAME THEM!! :thumbsup: Gav.
