Midwest | magnumman - 12/23/2024 10:43 Bought a planter recently on Big Iron, stated it had roughly 8xx acres, got it home hooked up to screen and has 1700 acres, one screen said 8xx acres but was reset beginning of the crop year and big iron only got that picture, and advertised clearly as 8xx acres. What can be done? I feel like I got screwed, granted 1700 is still not a lot. The way I figure it had 770 aces x custom planting which in that state is $24.00 = $18480 that is a lot I would be happy with less.
They'll say you should have come and looked at it and verified. I'm sure in all their fine print it will have an our or two or three for them. You got lucky that's all it had and not another 5k acres. I'd be happy and learn from it and move on.
$24/ac for planting is including the labor and tractor and fuel and all that. Just a planter would be far less $/ac
Should you call them to complain? If you want. I don't think you'll get very far. It is a convenient way to list planters though for future sales |
