This is what I would recommend. However, I would recommend you buy them from me rather than from this guy!!! This just happens to be the best picture I could find.

Yeah I've heard of Prolockers before. I just am trying to get away from paying a border duty. Last time I ordered my trailer racks, I payed almost 100$ for border duty free. It's hard since there's nothing here in Canada. I am always ordering stuff through the U.S

Check with a local shop. Especially one that carries Oregon products. They should carry them.

Oregon is a brand of outdoor power equipment parts, including one of the most popular brand of chain saw bars and chains. Oregon is a supplier of after market parts and some tools and accessories like ProLocker and a brand of sulkies (without checking the catalog I am not sure of the brand of the sulkies).

Here is Oregon's website.

That sucks! sounds like your dealer is kinda shady! He should have explained this to you.

Just seem to be paying an arm and a leg for something i'm leasing for 3 yrs (36 months at $313.07)

Then I got 1st payment.. $313.07 + Last payment $313.07 + Doc fees $226.00 = Total of $852.14 that I have to dish out

I don't even have 100$ in my business account, I've sent bills but the big ones (the schools haven't payed me yet )

Justin, I think I would have to back out of that deal.
$11496.52 over 36 months and still not own it? I dont think so!
and a dock fee? what the hell? And the mower you showed in the pic. has a stamped deck.
I dont even know your dealer,but from what I have heard so far, I dont like him. Do you still have your other rider? or did he swindle that out of you too?

Yeah I'm reading my document and figuring out a price on this thing and it so ridiculous. I was told heavy payments in summer time and low payments in winter. I don't even see anything that says this anywhere.

The dealer just called this "financing company" and they contacted me and stuff. I was approved.. of course..

I don't know what to do anymore.. I need a Zero turn bad.. but I don't want to pay $11496.52 for a machine that I am only leasing for 3 yrs and it's not even mine
