Combines John Deere Secret revealed

[John]

To my knowledge, JD Corp does not designate a DEMO Tractor or Combine. That is a Dealer decision. And if it is like the Main JD MEGA Dealer in my area, they will do anything to CHEAT OR TRICK the customer. I throw a party everytime I see them lose a customer or JD Corp financial statement go down hill. This group took a Family owned honest JD business and ruined it in less than 5 yrs. Unless you are willing or can spend $250,000_yr with them, parts and repairs are a 2 to 3 week waiting list, if they decide to even order them at all. JD Corp has recieved many complaints about this exact Dealer from myself and most of my Green underwear neighbors, JD's response was as long as the dealer is selling their merchandise so well they will not set rules on him. Most of us now know the place as Dewey, Cheatam, and Howe!!!!!!!!

I think it is being done as a company. The man I use to help farm in Northen OH farms 4000+ acres. He decided to try a 9400T out for fall tillage. After talking around abit, he heard of a man in OH who had used a "demo" 9400T to pull a DMI 6IJ' field cultivator. When the man got his 9400T in, it stalled trying to pull the DMI. It was sent back to the dealer and they "fixed" it. My old boss tried a "demo" also. When he got his in the dealer said they had "up graded" his already. That way it would pull like the "demo" but it still doesn't pull like the one he tried! I think JD is going to burn themselves some day doing this crap. The problem is my old boss was a die-hard JD fan. He bought 3 8410Ts right after he got the 9400T. I think that is why JD keeps doing it. Guys like my old boss just laugh it off. 4WDman

It's not only John Deere dealers that do this. I have a large Case dealer close and if you are a "good" customer your equipment is priced less than the averge joe who walks in off the street. I have a good friend who does all his business there and I know he can buy a new tractor a whole lot cheaper than I can. My friend told me the dealer admitted to him he had different prices for his "good" customers. I know another man who bought a new 8920 for $10,000 dollars less from another dealer. I guess he wasn't on the local dealers "good" customer list. My grandfather bought a new WD-45 in the 1950's that had been a dealers demonstrator and it had a lot more power than the average 45. One of the machanics told him they had stretched the govenor spring on it before sending it out.

I wouldn't put it past them. JD is a cutthroat, unethical company and has soured more than one of my former 'green' friends as well, particularly with their latest bounty on competitive combine trades while their loyal customers who endured that awful conventional Deere for so long are given nothing. Does that sound fairIJ

pfff wake up to yourself WFEOlI (wot ever the heck that stands for) a companies job is to sell as many machines as possible if that means bringing ou there, best machine (wink wink) then so be it as long as it gets the sale.
