That could be really quick if you are talking about building a spaceship or it can be really long time if you are talking about a gallon of milk.
Without more details, 10 weeks is just a linear measure of time.

The old hurry up and wait. Shame when you got money burning a hole in your pocket and can't get anything to buy.
Lol I know where you can get a LX3310 w/ backhoe, grapple, and all the options.... no wait and can be in your driveway this weekend..... 
Well if it makes you feel any better I am also waiting on a B2601 and it is a race between the tractor and the hot tub we ordered in April.......yes APRIL.......was supposed to be Aug, then October, Now Mid November.....heck both will end up showing up the same day at this rate.......in like January.....
It will be worth it in the end, COVID has really messed darn near everything up

I'll add and confirm the above posts...I tested out and decided to purchase a B2601 last weekend at a dealer here in Ohio. After discussing with the sales rep the options I wanted (3rd function valve, rear hydraulic remotes, wheel spacers, alternator kit), he said he would get them on order and let me know when things should be in.
Fast forward to yesterday, everything has been ordered...half the items are either shipped or due to ship out by end of next week. Others though (wheel spacers) are not due to ship until late November/early december! I emailed Messicks and asked if they had any in stock, and they also confirmed that the spacers won't be available until early december.
I thought about just having them deliver the tractor after the hydraulics are complete and doing the spacers myself, but the tires are going to be filled and I figured it is just as easy for them to put the spacers on before they are filled.
Patience is the is key right now...COVID has definately messed up supply chains and likely will for forseeable future.

Hell, I remember back in 2004 when I ordered the M (in my avatar picture), I waited almost 4 months for it and there wasn't a supply chain issue like there is presently. I ordered it right at the end of the production run and Kubota had to be sure they had all the necessary parts to build it (as it came from Japan in a container). I actually own the last M9 long hood produced. Quire an honor I guess. Best 47 grand I ever spent on a tractor and it has every available at the time options.
Lots of back and forth between my dealer and Kubota making sure it was good to go.
Waiting always makes the deal sweeter when it arrives.

Maybe Kioti or Mahindra or New Holland or Massey... Got to be something out there for ya....
Round eye huh? better than brown eye I guess.
Get out and find you a good used machine you can play with! Then you can see exactly what you're going to get and no waiting.
A good used machine,,, there in lies the rub. The majority of used stuff I have looked at lately, has been ridden hard and put up wet to many times, and while the prices are with in reason, the ones that are in "good" shape are drawing almost as much as a new one, and to add what I want, well you know the cost. So I guess I will just whine till something comes along, when you get old you are allowed to whine
