Wait,wait and more waiting

[lilguy]

Put a deposit on a B2601 TLB set up and have been waiting almost a month now because there are no BH70 units in that distribution network. There were early in the spring but nothing now. Has gone from 3 weeks to 6 now with nothing guaranteed. Is this the norm when KUBOTA runs dry on something. Had my previous KUBOTA's 30+ years with no issues. Hope parts availablility isn't an issue in this era.
What about a Woods backhoe, anyone have experience with them?

I might be doing a search dealer to dealer myself to find the model I want. Then tell my dealer. I found one. Get it here. The local dealer lot here is loaded with tractors. More then I've seen in the past.

What options? There is one southwest of Indianapolis at a dealer which has been sitting for a year and 1/2 16" bucket and mechanical thumb.

Dealer can transfer it in or you can possibly go get it yourself.

Sounds to me like your dealer is jerking you around,, but thats just me

I'm with skeets, that's insane. I had to wait about a week on my 4060, but only because of them adding 3rd function and waiting on a few implements. other than that, I had it quick.

Some implements can get in short supply at certain times of the year. I was warned not to wait until we had 4 feet of snow to order a Kubota snowblower. Tractor supply could be a different issue.

I went into my local dealer the other day to look at an MX5200 without the FEL. He had the MX5200 with FEL on the lot but not the one without the FEL. However, he said he could have one there in a few days. It may be the location, but it sounds like your dealer is not searching very hard.

I ordered a 2650 first week of April. Everything is in except for the FEL so I wait. I cant really blame Kubota. Dealer said they've been getting slammed and if this is happening all across the country then it makes sense there would be a delay on certain things.

I have Wood's BX70 on my B3200, 2 years and no problems. and was cheaper than the Kubota by about 2K installed.

I put an order in for my B2650+Cab on 8 weeks ago. Everything arrived and was put together but still waiting on a part that "went missing" on the order. So dealer had to order it again. Add on 2 more weeks or more.

Maybe it will show up next week. Maybe it won't. I'm going asleep waiting.

The Mahindra dealer in town was sooo hungry to sell me what he had on the lot. It was a trailer dealer selling the Mahindra "on the side". He would have trailered a tractor out to the boonies where I live that afternoon if I signed on the dotted line 5% For the next 5 years. I get 0% on my savings at the bank so Im not paying you 5% ... sorry.

Also, too bad the loader valve on that red tractor wasn't as good as the B2650 I tried.

Im planning on running it until the wheels fall off so I best get the machine I want and not settle for something that wasn't what I wanted.

Sooo yeah, here I am Im waiting for my orange beast.

I was a going to buy a GC1720 in stead of my BX. The Dealer took all of my information over the phone, Ran my Credit and then sold the Tractor 10 minutes after talking with me. The Next dealer told me the tractor was over a month out. I was so pissed about the whole thing I bought the BX and wont step foot on a MF dealership again.
