Went into a dealer in November to order a combine part,was quoted $1200.00 . Explained that I didn't need it for 10 months. With some negotiating got it for $700.00.

I have old iron but I rarely bother calling a dealer anymore, changed rotor bearings last year , parts shop had 1 but had to go to dealer for the other and they were 40 dollars more. Also called local RME this fall at 8:03 am and got the after hours answering service. The guy on the phone said “oh the parts guys should get to their phones in about 15 minutes.” What a joke that place is.

And even the ones that don't break and are rarely in stock anywhere....just in case.

Basically if you buy something you should buy 2 , so you have everything you need...thats good managing , right?

Full sarcasm.

I think I know where you are going with that comment...lmao.
