Disappointed in Messicks

[hawkin]

Ive called places when ordering small parts and shipping was like $15.
Asked if they had any other options because the parts were so small. So far I’ve never had to pay their flat rate. They ended up putting them in a padded envelope and shipped for cheap.

before i bought my used BX2350 i was considering buying a masey GC1705. same interest free deals, actually they offer up to 84 month terms which kubota offers a maximum of 72 month terms. in the end i don't want to pay for anything for 72 or 84 months, which is why i opted for the used kubota. it only had 395 hours hours and included a heated cab AND a 3pt snowblower. i have never had a cab before but i live in NY state and im sure it will be nice. the snowblower would have been an added cost. bought the tractor in may and i am working hard to get rid of the loan. i paid off over 3k this month alone.

everyone has different needs and what will fit the budget. in the end i was happy with the included items and the low time on the tractor.

I'm w/ Hawkin, I ask too..
Just last week I made a small order & asked them to ship them USPS..
The lady told me that they JUST struck a deal w/ FED-UP & it'll be 2.00 less if we send the parts THAT WAY..
I said, KOOL, do it..
"Fed-up" delivers around 3pm where USPS delivers around 11am..
IF it had been a customer job instead of a stock order I prob. would have went w/ USPS
Its ALWAYS good to ASK for options, when shipping parts..
I have 1 vendor that REFUSES to send anything other than UPS & they charge 25.00 regardless of what it is.!! ouch.!!

Bottom line here is....

Support your local dealer if possible. he depends on you (the customer) do stay in business.

I know I do (support my local dealer).

You obviously use your tractor for farming and rely on it to make money. What’s the lead time on parts?

Mine is usually a few weeks on non stocked items, but I’m just a hobbyist. My last order was just over a month actually. Would have been better off going online.
