It's now June 15 and still waiting on a tire....
I'm upset with Firestone and Kubota...... VERY upset. If I ever get the chance to get another tractor it may not be orange if they can't provide tires.... you know I've said here many a time how I'd love a 3130, but blue and green are both looking more attractive. FYI, on 4 wheel drive units you must used matched sets of tires or you could ruin the 4 wheel drive system (this goes for all types of 4 wheel drive vehciles).
Firestone said the tire was not in production. I was told by the dealer they were on strike. Kubota told the dealer the tire is one of the world's most popular tires (21 X 8:00 X 10)...I'd bet they are all going to rice fields in China.
Upset, more than most most could imagine....
My dealer has located 5 tires in the US, and from Kobota and they were supposed to start arriving yesterday but not as of 4pm the following day....
If a tire has not been found by June 16 they will be all heck to pay, including more phone calls to the Kubota, Firestone, lawyers, my bank and whoever will give me a chance to tell the story of LOUSY customer support by Firestone (no help on locating a tire and Kubota).
In fact I hope Kubota and Firestone sees this message.... Call me.... 606-831-1266
