Hi All,
Hit my 100 hr. on my Fastrack Sd, 48" with the honda 20hp ~ Yes the euro ver.
Just a few questions if I may.
My Hustler instructions say that the zt3100 need an oil change at 200 hr. and the zt3100 manual says 75-100hr who should I follow? Thinking, Hydro gear since they made it!
Now I call the dealer who I bought it from "York Region Equipment Centre" who charge $95 hr with 1.5 hr to do the service/ $35 per filter x2 and 3-5L of oil at $25 per L with pick up and drop off at $125 each way = $600 Seems to high for me with taxes with out any issues (unless they find/found any other items wrong)
Now a dealer closer to me "Canadian Equipment Outfitters" who charge $65-75 x2 each way and $65 per hour for service x2 hr. Plus parts and seemed edgeee when I asked about what the cost of each part and what Oil they use. I did get a very big NO on if I supply my own parts.... so if they change 75 travel x2 = 150 plus 2 hr service $130 filters fussing $30 each x2 = 60 and oil at guessing $25x5 = $125 total out to $465 + taxes = $525 still seems also out of line?
Is it just me or am I not use to all the excessive costs? This unit is still under warranty, the lower cost dealer is 45 min away and the dealer who I bought the unit is 1.5 hr away.
When I was looking to buy, the closer dealer only had Kohler and Kawasaki in stock at a $500-800 higher cost both in 23hp."York Region Equipment Centre" had the Honda 20hp in stock with .9hr showroom stock sitting for 2 yr with free extra blades, Mulch kit and delivery.
I guess I am looking for advice, what is the issue on warranty(what if I did the work myself? Lots of youtube about it)? Plus the disadvantage of not dealing with your dealer who your purchased the item from? Note the dealer who I bought the unit from, sales guy is no longer there. So the current sales person seems not that interested in getting back to me, plus the closer dealer got annoyed when I asked to many questions and had the "do not care attitude, plus I guess he is not use to having someone ask what type of oil do you use?"
Thank you in advance.
