Off topic, but here goes on the lex.
In our area we have great mechanics in relation to problems on our 89 and 8670 FNH tractors. Great mechanics in relation to problems on our 500stx quad, and 05 2388. Geat mechanics in relation to our Jd 6000 and a few smaller JD stuff...........But in all honesty.......none of them beat Paul Sanders with Zeigler! That guy just knows whats going on, from priority's (he keeps machines rolling infront of yeild monitor problems), to dollars spent (I don't understand why people think that truck on the yard is so spendy, just look at the total bill compared to the alternative), it just hasn't been better.
As for parts, only problem we had with Zeigler on Lexion is a shaft broke last fall in middle of soy harvest. Closest new shaft was Rochester (3 hours away). NOT GOOD. Lost a day. Up and running next day as dew went of the beans. Yup, we were pisssssssss ed. 2 days later a 585 showed up early morning with a 40' bean head, salesman made a couple rounds with us, said sorry we slipped on the shaft deal, Ill pick the 585 up tommarow..........We put 12 hours on it. BTW: We beleive the shaft broke due to rock issues we encountered with navies, Rocks just dont go in the trap when everything is running on slowest speed, or sumthin
We could drive 1 mph faster with the 585-40' maxflex than our 575 f30. Put in a good day at 420 acres on 3 different feilds running 3 bines.
Casefarmer: No, I don't have numbers memorized, thats what books are for, and BTW: we get the right parts everytime, unlike our "other" equipment dealers (thanks for ass-u-ming).
Ive heard horror story's of other lexion dealerships around the country, we wouldn't run yellow if this were the case around here. Local red and green are good too, but they don't have Paul Sanders with his majestic truck of skill!
Thanks for the 9860 hints fellers, gave the list to neighbor, he runs his rotor slower than college boy, and has never heard of the 70 series bolt on dealy (is that real, or is Alex just pullin my chain?). Though a dead stop might be a good idear also.
This is a great sight!
