Rabe -- Does anyone have information?

[muckcarterlambert]

Hallo
I have come here because it seems you might help me with some information and I saw this from my freind in england
Around 10 weeks ago I orderd a new Rabe plough and the sales guy told me delivery 4 or 6 weeks no problems.
I need the plough urgently there is no plough I tried calling them but they were not very helpful und he tells me now orders for Rabe must have cash before they can get suply!
I tried call ing a sales guy ther Allman I think his name was but he has left the company.
I am worried if I now pay money for the plough I might have no money no plough
Any help please thanking you

buy a used plough to get the time pressure off your ploughing season, dont pay them in advance (cash on delivery if they like, but NEVER before !!) so then you'll have time to sit back and watch all winter what happens.

cash before delivery is something quite unusual. i understand your worry.
We're not talking about a product that will be custom developed for you and will need a lot of R&D investment before they produce it, its just a standard plough. I wouldnt pay before i get the plough, but pay on delivery if they really want to.

If they still want your business next spring, they should take your trade up without complaining because they delivered too late.

sorry to hera about Your probs with Rabe. But there is a company in the netherlands, which is famous to built longlasting equipment from junk.

I guess the nam of the Co. is Zealman Bros. or somet6hing like that.

Maybe a better option is to ask a grumpy old German, called Bernhard, to call Rabe every day untill you get your plough... this guy can tirelessly keep bitching and whining, so if he calls Rabe everyday for you, they will be so fed up that you'll get your plough just to be rid of this PITA...
