As small business owners we appreciate our customers who work long hours and need reliable equipment that is running smoothly, whether it's your car, truck, farm tractor, or garden tractor. Years ago one of Jim's grade school teachers told about a winter the school children had missed many days of school because of bad weather.
Always turn off and stop the garden tractor or riding lawn mower before getting off of it. Jim knows this first hand. One night the temperatures were predicted in the -20o range. We decided to put some cars and tractors in the shop. It was already quite cold and dark and many of the vehicles wouldn't start.
We are in a rural area, definitely "off the beaten track". There are a lot of bigger businesses easier to find and and probably closer to you than us. It's an experience, no I'm not kidding. Who else is going to speed around with an old John Deere 140 that's been repowered doing wheelies to show you the power it has?
Power Steering-Cruise Control-Tilt Steering wheel-20 HP water cooled engine-This is one of John Deere's higher quality garden tractors, get something you will we proud to bring home. Please do not compare these John Deere's with the type you see at Home Depot and other similar stores. These are real workhorses and much more heavy duty.

Don't expect any service to be prompt from Jim or his staff. Was there 2 days in a row. Day one I walked in and he was on the phone. 5 minutes went by and an employee asked if I'd been helped. I said I was there for an engine and told me I had to talk to Jim. OK. Jim hung up and I told him what I wanted. The phone rang and I was once again invisible.
Another 5 minutes and I got to at least talk to Jim. After a brief conversation the phone rang again. I could tell at this point Jim gives his phone customers a much higher priority than those that drove over an hour to his shop. I gave his employee my information and told them about my parts (parts that dictate the overall set up of the engine). Was assured it would be ready next day for pick up.
Upon arrival Jim said it was ready and took me over to the engine. He asked if I had the parts for the engine and I said I personally left them with you just yesterday. Oh, here they are right where he left them, in his office. The engine was far from ready and while waiting for 2 hours for him to complete the 20 minutes of work, he repeatedly helped EVERY single calling customer.
He even helped walk in customers while I was waiting for my engine to be done. Now I liked Jim just fine, seemed like a real nice fellow, but this is not the way to treat a customer. If you put your phone customers above someone willing to drive over an hour to spend over 2K dollars then you are wrong. It just ins't good business. I never seem to write bad reviews, but I couldn't leave this alone.
I hope Jim takes the time to realize that a person standing in his shop should have the highest priority. If he wants to just answer phones then he needs to hire competent employees to deal with walk ins!
