Business ProfileforAtlantic Tractor

On 10/19/22 we entered a contract by purchasing a used 2015 JD 1025r tractor with a reported 70-hour engine meter from Atlantic Tractors Westminster Maryland location. $5000 was put on a credit card for a down payment, while the remaining balance was financed through John Deere Financial. While no training was given at dealership, tractor was transported to my home where I observed the hour meter reading 97 hours instead of the reported 70 as described in the dealership. I decided to cut the grass on 10/21/22 with the machine as it was intended to be used for. Approximately 2.5 hours into the first use, the equipment broke. This scared me as a consumer that I had a defective and unsafe product. I promptly called the dealer and requested to be let out of the contract and return the machine. The district sales manager Michael ******** replied to me stating that returning the equipment was acceptable and to drop off the machine to the dealer. The machine was dropped off on 10/22/22. The contract was reversed and closed out per JD Financial on 10/27/22. It has now been 9 business days and the district sales manager Michael is refusing to return my down payment in full unless I agree to pay $900 to repair the part of the tractor that broke, siting that it was user error that broke the machine does not manufacture defect. I stated that I was no longer in a contract with them at which point Michael stated that we would reinstate the contract against my will and drop the machine back off to my house. I am requesting that Michael and Atlantic Tractor release my fund in full to its original source. Michael has been rude and abrasive on our phone calls and has swayed me from ever purchasing another piece of equipment from Atlantic Tractors.
