    Currently at a course that is hurting for money, especially to repair older equipment. And since I don't see being able to buy or lease new I'm always on the lookout for ways to save on parts. 2 examples of what I've found. Had to replace the sprayer control on our old multi pro, Toro wanted almost 300 for just the controller itself but I found the complete setup including pressure control and wiring harness at [u">www.Dultmeier.com[/u"> for way less than the Toro dealership. Ever have a micro switch go out on 3150? Well once again the toro dealership wanted like 10 bucks plus around 10 for shipping. Found the switch at [u">www.newark.com[/u"> for just over 2 bucks and shipping under 5. If any of you have some other good money saving tips, I'm sure we would all like to hear them. Thanks

    Sure this isn't news to very many of you, but I've use R&R for nearly 90% of my parts. They are usually always cheaper than Toro. Plus, if you can wait until you can amass a larger order, your shipping is free. One thing that really burns my arse is getting raped for shipping. Toro charges $5 to ship a $5 part when i know they can ship it for less, why don't they ever use USPS either!!?? This is a subject that can really get my chilli boiling
