Started with walking in to make what I thought would be the easiest purchase of my life and for the sales person..
I stood in front of 2 sales team members as they sat at their desk. One on FB Marketplace and the other I couldn't tell so I kindly asked If she was busy. No, sit down. Here's where it apparently gets difficult. "i'd like a 2025 1025R with a belly mower and a rotary cutter" okay so she starts the quote. Right into she said shes new to sales but been with John Deere for around 10 years I believe. About 45 mins later and a couple redo's I have the estimate and I take it with me to look over. Couple days later I go in to purchase it, well, not so quick. We have to go to Athens to get the rotary cutter but the mower is in town, once we get all the serial numbers i can email you a docusign. She did so, but I want everyone to note that IT DOES NOT HAVE THE YEAR MODEL ON ANYTHING. She delivered the tractor just over a week later and after unloading it I noticed the stickers say 2024 on them. Oh no, she says. I assure you after this is the newest 1025R and its like some car manufacture's that come out with the car the previous year, Okay I said, I mean you've been with John Deere all these years and this is my first tractor so what do I know. Dumb consumer right.. Well of course I trusted her and the backing of such a loyal and great company, i mean $150 billion a year. Going to argue with her, she represents John Deere. Well, guess what... It was a 2024 and I found out and immediately called AgPro with a huge problem, uh oh their systems were down and the GM would call on Monday. Nope, I called them after 3:00 because I haven't heard from no one. I have owned this tractor for 27 days at the time, mowed my grass (2)x's and blew it off and washed it after. It has 6.2 hrs on it and is in better condition and cleaner than was delivered. AgPro of Knoxville TN lied to me, mislead me and then told me that I could bring it in for a trade-in!! What a greasy thing to say! No help what so ever! So, I took it up the ladder a bit to just be told that they basically don't care what she did or said. I signed the papers that again don't have a date. John Deere as a whole is corrupt and definitely not for the consumer. Just look at AgPro of Knoxville's BBB ratings. You'll know why their not an accredited business with them because they wouldn't be in business. read more
