I sent Ag Pro a zero turn mower to be repaired. I wanted the left side drive motor repaired, as it turned out they repaired the right side that was not leaking and I was not notified the they thought it was the right not the left. The same motor I sent to them to be repaired is still leaking and they want me to pay again to get it fixed. I owned an excavating and paving business for 30 years and I am familiar with equipment, so I know that motor was leaking when i sent it to them the first time. When I called to speak to them when I was trying to explain they would not listen and hung up on me, I called back to talk to the manager and told he was not in and did not have a voicemail. I asked for the service manager and was put on hold for 10 minutes, then was told he wasn't available.Business Response

In the past week , first week of October I have had my ******* **** turn at Ag Pro in ** ********* ** for service and repairs. I was having a problem with the mower engaging with the blades. I took it to
Ag Pro for this problem and all they did was service the machine. I brought the machine home and tried to mow my grass . It did engage the blades for a short period and stopped. I then returned it to Ag Pro and was told I needed a new clutch. I told them to please fix it.
After a few days I brought the machine home and tried to mow the grass and it smoked and completely stopped. I contacted Ag Pro again and was told they are not responsible if something else went wrong or other parts stopped working.
I have spent almost 1000.00 in the past week on this machine. I don’t feel they fixed my machine properly.
Therefore I am taking it to different business for repairs.
I do not recommend them.Business Response

This is my response to the notice I received on *****/23 from the BBB. You received a response from Ag-Pro *** ********* ****
I find the response to be unacceptable. There is no explanation has to the work/damage done to my lawn mower, and no name or title as to who is responding to this complaint.
I have been waiting for a call since October 2023 from a supervisor (Hunter) who assured me he would call back. I spoke with Ashleigh D******, Service Writer on several occasions with assurances that she would forward my messages to management and one time to getting my lawn mower picked up which never happened. I have left my name and phone number with the store manager who was "going to do some research" and call me back. He never did.
I brought the mower to ******** ******* ****** ***** *** to be repaired, which could not be done because of the damage that was done to the clutch and shaft by Ag-Pro *** **********
From September **, 2023 when the mower was first brought in for repair until October **, 2023 I had no lawn mower. I purchased a new lawn mower when I found out how badly damaged my lawn mower was.
I was charged $873.57 to repair a lawn mower that was not repaired but damaged.

In **** 2023 we sent a **** ***** ***** to AG Pro in ****** ** for fuel pump replacement. They charged us about $1700 and the next day after they brought it back the ***** would not start. So, they picked it up and returned it in working order. They claimed it was because they got a bad fuel pump the first time. A few days later they picked up our ****** tractor for service. The Wood finishing mower was working fine but we sent it anyway to get the blades sharpened. We ask for an estimate, so, after they got it to the shop we got an estimate on the parts to service the tractor of $1106.59. A few days later, one of the workers called me to inform me that the mower needed three pulley towers replaced as well as the blades sharpened in order for it to work properly. I ask for an estimate and he informed me that the parts alone wood be $1100.00. Since I’m aware that the labor would be at least the same amount I told him to just sharpen the blades. I made this decision because the mower was working when they picked it up. Three weeks later AG PRO brought the tractor &mower back after charging $2838.44 and the mower wouldn’t work. When the PTO was engaged the tractor engine would die. We called AG PRO service dept in ****** and two guys showed up, greased the pulleys, and basically informed me that if I had listened and spent the other $2000 we would not have this problem. I’m still trying to figure to figure out how the mower was working when they picked it up and was locked up now. Mr W******* who runs AG PRO, ******, called & rather than
apologizing for returning two items to us that didn’t work after charging us $4500, accused me of saying that his people had sabotaged the mower. I left two messages for the division manager, Stewart R****** with no results. FYI, the receipts are in the name of *** *********** **** our business name before retiring three years ago. We purchased over 40k of equipment from ******* tractor who sold to Ag pro. This is our 1st dealings with AG pro. Not good!Business Response

We first picked up the customer's ******* ***** on ****** It came in not starting and he asked to complete a service on it. We found that fuel pump was bad and we replaced it and completed the service. The ***** then ran with no issues. We delivered the ***** back to the customer on ****** On ****** customer called and said the ***** would not start again. We went and picked up the ***** and brought to the shop. We found that the new fuel pump we replaced was not working as designed. We replaced with a new pump again and it ran and worked well. The ***** was returned to the customer and filed under parts warranty at no charge to the customer.
The customer then asked us to pick up is ****** tractor and Woods cutter to do a service, check a/c, check for hydraulic leak, and check blades on mower to see if they were on correctly and sharpen them. He was told it would take longer to get parts for a ****** than it does for us to get **** ***** parts. He said that was okay and that he had an issue with the local ****** dealer and wasn’t going to use them anymore. We looked over the a/c issue and mower. We found that on the mower the spindles were in bad shape and needed replaced. Customer was called with quotes to repair a/c and mower. Customer approved repair to the a/c but declined repair to mower. He asked us to go ahead and sharpen the blades only. We completed service and repairs approved by the customer. We delivered the tractor and mower back to the customer. The next morning, we received a call from the customer saying that they tried to use the mower and it would kill the tractor when the mower was cut on. We told the customer that we would send a technician out as soon as they came in that morning. Two technicians were sent, including the tech that performed the repairs in the shop. The techs informed the customer that the spindles that he declined repair for were the issue. He asked for a quote to repair. They gave him the original quote of $1978.73, which $1641.23 was in parts and $337.50 of labor. Customer told them to hang on to it and not order anything. He was not charged for this service call.Initial Complaint

****/23 - The nature of my complaint is the lack professionalism & accountability. I communicated to Sales Rep. Kurt H***** & his Superior Sales Mgr. Rick, that their conduct & decision making was unfair & unethical. Decisions, they based solely on their personal bias rather than their company protocols. I placed $3000.00 as down payment on ****/23, on a $4799.00 mower. I was informed by the sales rep. Kurt H***** verbally, through email & text, that a purchase order had to be sent over from my creditor, in order for me to take delivery of the unit. I presently have text, & email correspondences outlining Kurts request & agreement to release the unit to me once he received the proof of funds OR the purchase order. When I arrived to Ag-Pro *** ******, we got my creditor's office (*******) on speaker phone & the purchase order sent directly to Kurts email simultaneously. He read through the document while I had the creditor on speaker & we both asked if he had any additional questions or issues. Kurt responded "No I have what I need".
After ending the call, & receiving the Purchase order, Kurt Said he was no longer "comfortable" with releasing the unit to me, despite his written correspondences stating he would. At that time I asked to speak with his Manager Rick. Ricks' response was "I'm sorry he (kurt) promised you those things, I'm not sure why he (kurt) said them to you." That response & lack of accountability demonstrated this decision had nothing to do with protocols but rather personal bias. It was discriminatory in nature & blatantly dishonest of them. I took off work and lost wages to complete the tasks requested of Kurt during that day in order to receive the unit he stated would be released to me upon receipt of the purchase order. In the end he defaulted on his word to me & my creditor. His final statement to me was, "I have to ***** ***** ** *** ***** Showing no concern for me as a client, no professionalism, & no accountability. Acct#********Business Response

We are sorry the customer is not satisfied with their experience at our location. Unfortunately, since the financing was done through a third party vendor, we cannot release the equipment until payment is made in full. We apologize for any misunderstanding in the communication with our sales team, but our General Manager did take the time to explain the situation to the customer. When the customer requested their deposit back, our salesman returned it.Initial Complaint

I purchased a commercial grade ******* mower from Ag-PRo in ***** 2022. In October it was leaking oil at 24 hours use and I called Ag-pro to fix. They wanted me to pay for pick up and delivery but the salesman was nice enough to pick it up. In early April I noticed an oil stain under the mower where it sat in my garage all winter. I called Ag-pro and once again they wanted me to pay for pick up and delivery. It had 48 hours on it.The salesman who sold me the mower was nice enough to pick it up for me both the first and the second time. Both times they said the leak was fixed. I got it back again and mowed and it was leaking oil that night. I had to argue with the manager and he told me he’d pick it up this one time only but after this I had to pay. I just want the mower to work. They always fight about getting it and have never given me any replacement to mow when they have it.
This being the 3rd time unsuccessful and the amount of push back from the manager about me paying for them to pick it up and fix it I fear having to keep going through this without help from your agency.
I feel they should fix it or replace it at no cost to me.Business Response
Date: 06/05/2023
Warranty does not cover pick up and delivery. Ag-Pro understands the customers frustration, thus the free pick up and delivery for the first two repairs. For the third time the machine was brought in, Ag-Pro was not able to find the complained leak; presumably, it was where old oil was not cleaned off from the 2nd repair. Really unsure of what the complaint is asking because Ag-Pro has tried to provide the best customer service possible. Unsure of what to do, please advise.Initial Complaint

I had taken my **** ***** *** for service because I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it. I was told that they cleaned the fuel pump and cleaned the tank out. Charged me 400$ and didn’t even do the cleaning because when I got home I still had the same issues so I took the fuel pump out. It was filthy which was telling me they didn’t do the work that they charged me for. On top of that it was a misdiagnosis. The middle spindle bearings were out.Business Response

On ********* I took my Honda, self-propelled lawn mower to the Ag-Pro ** **** ****** ***** ****** ****.
They charged me 64.00 to diagnose problem ( self propelled part was very weak). They called me the next working day to say that wasn't enough money. I said that I wasn't going to spend any more money just to diagnose the problem and to stop working It. I would come in and get it as soon as it was ready. It looked fine from the top as I took it home. When I took it out of my car one of the tires almost fell off. When I checked underneath the mower , it had many missing nuts and bolts. Nothing works anymore. I don't what they did to the engine, but if I didn't shut it down it would probably blow up. I can no longer change from mulch to anything. They have totally destroyed my mower. Can you help me?Business Response
