What is Messick's Smoking

[skeets]

Yes thank you, I know how to use a map and the closest dealer is 2 hours 41 minutes away as I stated... it's a tractor, I live on a farm in northern Arizona, it's not a yard tractor and I live in Phoenix like your map seems to imply I do and can almost walk to a dealer.

I feel your pain, the kid lives in Twentynine Palms, and the closest is about 80 miles away about 2 hours, so you got most of a day shot in the arse out and back , IF you dont run in to some of those rumdumbs on the road

That's great for you who has a dealer "that you drive past." My local dealer dropped Kubota so I had to drive 1+ hour round-trip to get to the next closest dealer.

I have no problem with anyone charging reasonable shipping but I think this thread was started about unreasonable shipping. In my case, the issue came with the $20 increase in cost to add 4 small rubber seals to a box that already had 5gal of SUDT2 in it.

Yup, almost three hours for me… everyone thinks it’s so easy to just drive by your dealer, farms aren’t in the city folks..

There are dealers closer than Messick was my point.
While a 6 hour round trip is not ideal it's still cheaper the $250 in shipping.
But if you value your time and want to avoid the trip pay the price!
