Was at a tractor supply store recently looking at a $3500 mower. Said
I was seriously considering it and a comment was made that they would
be willing to deal on the mower.


Now I'm not sure how much I should ask for if they are WILLING to
deal.


I know from time to time they send 15% coupons for their credit card
holders. Do you think that would be a place to start? Anyone have
any experience with this?


I would say to shop around and then offer less than the best
price You get elsewhere then go up to that price but no more..You can
always go back to the low seller and buy it,,if You call in the offer
from outside the low sellers' shop and it's refused just walk back in
and buy it there..If there are service agreements involved a long
drive might be a pain tho..
Can I ask what brand and model You're looking at?

Dean - its a cub cadet RZT 50, 50" deck - sorry - it's $3000, not
$3500 (didn't notice that)- Hide quoted text -

Nice rigs and no mistake,,finally got to read up on them a
little,,looks like $3000 is the going price,,if You can get 15% off
I'd say that's a darn good start..I like the idea of the i1000,,it has
many of the old benefits of a tractor plus the zero turning..I saw one
on a poster hung up at the small engine shop the other day but did'nt
get a chance to look close..I wo'nt be spending 3-4 thou on a mower/
tractor till I've got more time working on My older ones anyway.
I thought I was going to read some more about cub but landed at a
consumer site that covered lots more brands/models,,if You have a
little time it's a good read,,at least My limited experience thinks it
is..
