Riding lawn mowers

My buddy owns a lawn tractor and zero turn place. He sells cub cadet gravely and a few others. He told me and showed me the difference between a cub cadet from the box store and his inventory. No way would i buy from them after that. And tbh its not that much more expensive to get it at the dealer than the ones at lowes etc
Ever compare Goodyear tires bought from tires"r"us with a set of the same tires bought from wallie martinez?

Same principle
