In them hills.
Because they knew there was way too much inventory going to be holdovers. There are brand new 16’s still kicking around for Cat and Poo.
I think Textron has really tightened up the supply on the 18s and will be the same going forward.

Alpha was supposed to be snow check only, but the dealers really wanted some.

I believe most dealers would always order one or two extra of anything new. Lots of Mr.Orange and J.Smiths in the customer data base lol

I work with a j smith lol. Maybe their his.

When I worked in sales the store wasn’t eligible to have certain stock for electronics on hand so we would order stuff under Mr Orange all the time. lol

Stopped into Blowcycle South today because I haven't been there since the new owners....2 customers in the shop besides me. looked like 3-4 salesmen and 2 counter staff. I was there easily 10-12 mins looking around the shop...small shop, so looked at everything twice. Not one of the staff asked how I was, if I needed help, if I wanted to buy anything...I was planning on spending a couple of hundy...but instead, it is still in my pocket and will spend it in another shop. Different owners, same bad taste...Blowcycle still sucks IMO.

Phoned to order parts, left a message and no one returned my call, waited an hour then went in. No customers in the place they had lots of time to return my call. Next time I’ll phone Bowridge!

Thats because theirs a factory rebate in place at the time of purchase to help move these units..... $14900 and purchase of $12900 looking at the math the dealer made nothing on that sale as it looks like they included the $700 in PDI & Freight.....but they still have to pay the salesmen a minimum commission.....they might of walked away with a couple hundred but after all the paper work crosses hands and the unit was registered they are lucky to break even. Just remember the rebates are past on to the customer not the dealer......$14900 retail
-$1000 Rebate
=$13900
- 6% Profit $834
=$13066
Your purchase price on the unit $12900 leaves $166 to pay the salesmen and
Admin to do paper work and register!!
You tell me how the dealers are getting rich off your purchase. Keep in mind again the dealer ate the $700 in Pdi & Freight!

They are finally getting around to changing their name. I had heard this about a month ago but its now official. I guess they figure they can rid themselves of any previous negativity. Hopefully it works!
