Get out while you can!!!!!!!

Just kidding. I'm in Gonzales, I a Hustler, Scag, Redmax & Husqvarna dealer. I'm an Ex-lawnmaintence professional!!

Good luck getting started and if I can help you let me know!!!

[Rrjp111]

What is up with the new price on the scag :dizzy: it went up 1,000 dallour from last year. What is your price on the new red max 8000. Nice to hear from you try to get by and check out your shop.

[Gautreaux's LNG]

We sell the RedMax EBZ8000 for $549.00... Scag made ROPS standard, that was a big part of the jump, but everyone went up. Hustler's to an increase also... Cost of doing business!

Stop in and shoot the bull!

[CottonPatch]

Scag did not have any significant price increases until last year. When you factor in the rising cost of steel and the high cost of crude oil, almost everything used to make these machines are out of sight. Instead of decreasing the quality to keep the prices low, they stuck to their standards of simply building the toughest machine on the market.

CottonPatch..... U did it again! After you left store went nuts. Sold another Hustler, couple more RedMax units, took in repairs and sold blades, belts and accessories.

You may have to stay away until you get a new truck, so they won't know you're in here!

You'll here from me bright and early Monday AM with an order! Also, will you be able to work the booth Monday from 1pm? If not let me know, I'll work it and let someone play in my place!

Tell Mrs. CottonPatch I said Hi!

[CottonPatch]

I'll be there! I would not want you to not get a chance to play golf. LOL :)

Master L&G,
I am the rep for South LA for Scag, Hustler and Redmax. Let me know if you ever need some demos or have questions about the machines.

Hey there Rusty, I am quite familiar with Red Max equipment. I currently have the EB70001 blower and the CV225 tiller. I am sold on these 2 pieces, will definitely stay with the redmax for the blowers and tillers. I have just opened my business this season and off to a great start, however I am in a predicament. I do not do alot of grass cutting, predominantly I am doing full ground maintenance and installations. Recently I acquired 2 large properties next to one another, making it abit much for my Toro 21" Proline mower. It is taking me almost 2 hours in mowing time alone. I doubt I will be able to keep these properties much longer without at least some type of rider or larger walk behind mower. I am a bit strapped for cash but my monthly checks are rolling in pretty well now. I do not have very good credit ( thanks to my Ex) so I doubt there is a way to get a loan now. I know I can increase my income even more and be more productive with a larger mower, I just need help in acquiring one. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Chris,
Sheffield Financial has some pretty good finance programs going on right now.
Give me a call @ 225-910-0518 during the day. I have some options that may help you out.
Thanks
Rusty

[Master L&G]

Alright Rusty, things may be looking up afterall. I am going to have my business partner Denise give you a call tomorrow during the day. She does all the accounting and office work. I sure hope we can find a salution to my problem. Thanks again!
Chris

[Master L&G]

Rusty, My partner did leave a message at your number today. Please give her a call at 504-261-4673. We tried Sheffield Financial and to no surprise we were denied. I cut those properties today and even at a jog behind that Toro I could do no better than 1.5 hr. of cutting time. Am I screwed or what?
Well, options I need so please be in touch. Thanks,
Chris

Master,

I'm a dealer in Gonzales (Hustler / Scag / RedMax / Husqvarna). We use a local finance company who we've been lucky with borderline credit. The rate may be a bit higher (not extreme though), but they've let several of my customer go 4 years on equipment. Have your local dealer try a local finance company for you. If not email me and I'll try to help you out.

Will do and thanks!

[Master L&G]

What could I expect to pay for a machine in the 36"-42" range. ZTR or walkbehind with a sulky? Would like a rough idea as to what to expect so that sticker shock will not be a factor. :dizzy: Thanks....

[Master L&G]

Not sure if you will be able to help us in any way guys, Our credit is a mess! We can handle the notes but are being refused everywhere we go. Maybe I can find a ragged out rider just to get me through this season.

[Master L&G]

[SIZE=5][B]Anyone got an old rider or old walk behind 30+" they would be willing to part with?
