John Deere reducing dealerships

Very annoying. First class service from Ravenhill depot 20 mins away. HRN now 45mintutes journey.
If it’s like round here , merlo took it off a few small dealers and gave it too totally no satisfaction . One of the smaller dealers are busier than ever as appointed firm are not giving it , the Level of service that the small dealers could

Have never tried the elevating cab On Telehandler but have used one on an excavator and it was awful , the machine movement exaggerated the cab movement , the cab movement exaggerated the operators movement which exaggerated the machines movement and so on , essentially a self generating uncontrollable speed wobble , for which the only answer was to just let go of the levers and let it settle and start again.

haha !when you pay that sort of money you don't expect to work in those conditions no windows to open only the back one then the cab gets filled with dust I don't mind not having air-con if I haven't paid for it spet the day in the old maxum on the hedge cuter blower works windows open that's fine but to pay the sort of money an R series is you expect it to work properly

I know. I'm just being a d**k. I wouldn't stand for it on a new tractor either.

We just use a independent guy for aircon up here. Anything under warranty I would expect dealer to sort pretty quickly. Or I would be phoning swearing at them on a hot day.
