Have you kept in touch with your dealer? Sometimes if something is backordered, it can get lost in the shuffle so to speak, either at the dealer level or at Kubota. If your dealer just ordered it and forgot about it, it could have gotten kicked out of the system(good ol' computers /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif)by Kubota and no one noticed. We have had this happen a few times, some glitch in the system, never hurts to check.
