I'm venting again........

Was looking at chain harrows, some of you folks said they'd do what I want so I decided to get one. Have an equipment dealer/F&F nearby so decided to see if they could get me one. Got on the internet and printed a picture, turned out to be an aftermarket brand that they carry so I wrote the article number down. Went to the store (been dealing with them 11 years) and nothing there, one of the floor guys called someone and told me that the thing didn't exist with the folks they deal with. Sent me to the machinery guy. Went to the office and was talking to the owner and his wife til the guy finished with a customer. Showed him my picture and asked if he could offer anything like it, first thing out of his mouth was "where do you come from?" asked him if it would effect the service I got and he started asking what I wanted it for, what I'd be using it with, and how I would transport it. Told him that we could worry about all that after he found out if he could get me one. He called someone else up and they took me in an office and showed me a catalog with everything except what I asked for and told me the one I found wouldn't work for me. I said OK. Went to a BB store that carries the same aftermarket brand of stuff, they called and I'll pick up the harrow Friday.

I'll be sure to show the owners of the dealer the labels and run down my experience with their salesman...........

Done now,

Dave

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
