Wait times on LX2610HSDC?

[Fatfenders]

Ordered mine with bucket, rear blade, box scraper 64" commercial snowbower, loaded tires on 7/20. Was told (an obviously optimistic) 3-4 weeks. It has been 7 weeks this week. My dealer has 6 locations all over Wisconsin so it would seem they have some buying power. I'm planning to call tomorrow to see if there is an update, but wondering what others have been waiting for their LX cab models.

Thanks for responding.

I got my open station lx2610 a month ago. When the salesman delivered it we were talking. He said they had been given notice that no new units would be delivered to the dealership until late Dec/early Jan. They only had what was on the lot.......

I ordered my lx in July and it took about 3 weeks to be delivered to the dealer. Mine is a rops model.

I ordered my LX2610 on May 15th - the dealer received the tractor and some of the loader on June 7th - with delays in shipping and assembly documentation the tractor has not been delivered yet. I have been told that the snowblower and front blade are a week or 2 away from delivery. I could have them deliver it now but I want the electrical/hydraulics for the snowblower installed and checked out before delivery. I want them to indicate/verify that everything works properly upon delivery - I trust nobody, sometimes not even myself.

wow, and I thought my 3 month wait for my 23S with snowblower and sweeper was a long wait.

Back when I bought my M9000 HDCC3 in 2004, I waited 4 months for it. Had to be built in Japan and shipped here. It was worth the wait.

Over 14 weeks. Ordered 6-12-20 and still no word of a delivery date. Lx2610 rop, 64” commercial blower, loaded tires, 3D function, 42” forks, LP grapple, ballast box, larger tires. I’m told the bh77 is still not available. 64” commercial blower not available till winter so I switched to the B2650 residential blower. Hope to get all parts to dealer and delivery before the snow flies which could be within a month. Never told lx tractor was so difficult to purchase.

I think it's happening to everyone Bob. Like I said, I had to wait 3 months. Ordered in June, arrived in Sept. I opted to go with a lower volume dealer in a small town, got a better price by a couple thousand, but I don't think they had the weight to push around to get my tractor. Now it seems even the bigger dealerships are having trouble too. My salesman said his units were way oversold and they were having a really good year. You would think in an idle economy they'd have overstock <shrug>

I was at the dealer and the man told me they had no idea WHEN they were getting any 2601s so God only know when or IF I will get a new one

Couple months ago I kicked tires at a small dealership.

I think all of the 3 or 4 B, BX tractors had sold tags on them. Maybe 1/2 of the 4 or 5 L's were marked sold.

It's 9/25, just over 2 months since I ordered. Tractor is sitting at the dealer, just waiting for the commercial snowblower (he received shipping confirmation 2 days ago) and 3rd function to show up early next week. Dealer expects he'll deliver next the complete package late next week.

Beautiful machine. Bet you can't wait to get her!

Hopefully just another week for me. SU with loader and big tire option.

Really drooling over that cab...here in mosquito haven (FL Swamp) that would be amazing, but I have too many trees and obstacles to have something that nice....I'll just bath in deet and pretend I'm not sweating buckets.

I'm in Northern California and I ordered a b2601 TLB in late June. The tractor showed up about early August but had to wait an additional 2 weeks for the loader to show up. They delivered the tractor and loader and loaned me a box scrapper about 5 weeks ago and hopefully the backhoe is supposed to show up this week. I was curious if it was just kubota having inventory problems so I called John Deere during this process to see if they had any tractors similar to a b2601 and they said that if I ordered now which was in august, product would be in maybe by the end of the year.

Just curious about the difference between the LX2610HSDC and the B2650HSDC. I priced the LX on Kubota site and they seem very close $$$ wise. Is the L frame larger? Most specs look similar.

LX2610 is replacing the B2650. I believe they are the same size, or very close. Some minor upgrades. The major change is the LX3310 VS THE B3350. They fixed the major problems they were having with the engine not being able to regen.

What I don't understand is why dealers don't do 'stock transfers'. Back in the 70's it was common practise for all local Radio Shacks to call other stores, ask for whatever, have it transferred, with a small fee. With today's computers, 'they' HAVE to know where inventory is, so why not make the customer happy ? And put money in their bank account ??

I believe they do to an extent. Tractor in question though is a brand new model this year. Don’t forget we shut down a large amount of manufacturing this year....

I don't know exact specifics but the LX2610 is a bit larger and If I recall a bit more lift capacity for loader. I went LX over the B because I ended up saving money on the SU model (Was hoping for a discount on the B if they are going away but theres too much demand). I have no need for midmount PTO and welcomed the larger tire sizes as most of my property is rutted by hogs.
