Had a late Christmas gift come home yesterday. Went to one of my favorite stores and saw box blades for sale. A 5' was priced around $650, and a 6' priced at $350. Now, knowing something looked strange with this, I called for the store manager, and told him I wanted to purchase the 6 footer (wouldn't you?). He said OK, I said whats the price, he said $350, I said "then, being a fair & honest shopper, can you tell me why a 5 footer costs $650, and a 6 footer costs only $350? He said "NO, I can 't, but it's tagged for $350 so I will have to charge you only $350!"
It came home with me.
Now, being a good and fair shopper, I suggested to the store manager that I really wanted a 5' box blade. I offered a suggestion, I would trade him the new 6' for a new 5', with no dollar exchange. This way, he would not loose as much money on the sale of the 6 footer, and I would get my desired 5 footer. I had reasons for wanting a 5 footer. You see, this is the tractor that will be using the new box blade!
As we already know, the 6 footer came home with me. Now, I have a dilemma. Do I KEEP IT and use the new 6 footer, or do I SELL IT and buy a new 5 footer with change to spare, or do I SWAP IT for another 5 footer with someone???
More questions will come on how do I USE IT on a 1 mile gravel road, etc.
Ok, friends, all thoughts & comments are welcomed & appreciated!
