I’m not a manipulative person, i swear. However, when preparing to make a large purchase, i like to know i’m not going to get ripped off. Thus, before trekking out to Fisher Farm & Lawn, i did my research. I needed to replace an old, barely-functional John Deere with something newer, and, well, functional. Based on what i could find on the internet, i’d pretty much figured out which model would suit my needs. However, when i introduced myself to a sales person, i acted ignorant. I explained my needs(for example, my yard is on a hillside, and thus i need a mower that can handle a slope), and finished with, «But i really don’t know anything about lawn tractors.» The nice salesman asked a few clarifying questions, then walked me out to the line of lawn tractors and pointed to exactly the one my research indicated was what i needed. Despite a near explicit invitation to rip me off, he directed me to the mower with the specs that did what i needed without paying for features i’d never use. He even explained why he thought it was the best fit, and why i probably shouldn’t spend more for the next model up. I can only assume i won’t be in the market for a new mower any time soon, as JDs are pretty solid, but when i do need to swap out for something new, i’ll be back at Fisher.
