Just a question for anyone near Southern Michigan. Has anyone ever dealt with Fairview Sales in Eau Claire, MI?
I'm looking at a tractor and just want to see what anyone has to say about him? Seems like a nice guy but this isn't a $300 tractor so just would like some references. Not looking to put anyone on the spot either so any input via PM is fine also. Thanks in advance.

Jason

Thanks for the response guys. I can usually read people fairly well so I am probably going to get the tractor and keep my fingers crossed.

What's the name of the owner/salesperson you dealt with??
Pre-WW2 A-C tractors on steel wheels...because I'm too cheap to buy tires!

Just wanted to give an update despite the defamation threat from the owner. I would not recommend buying anything from here. All I can say is buyer beware.

Ouch, I take it your read wasn't correct and things didn't go too well? Sorry, that sucks. I have a dealer or 2 I could comment on, but only if asked, and didn't know anything about them.

Thanks for the update. There's nothing wrong with a recommendation, positive or negative. Anything like a defamation threat from a dealer makes me think they have more than a few unhappy customers/potential customers.

Anytime I heard of businesses threatening about receiving bad feedback/reviews, it seems the bad reviews are well deserved.
