So I made a deal on a new Powerstar 110 New Holland last week. Good deal, and I trust the dealer.
I asked him if I could come in the first part of this week now, and pick up my new tractor?
He said that was a service dept question, as the service dept is a bit backlogged now. But to call the service mgr. and tell him what I wanted done to the tractor, and see how long the wait is.
Okay... So I called the service mgr., and he took down what tractor and what I wanted done. (Just tire sealant added, really.) I asked him when he could get that out for me?
Ummm... we have a stack of tractors to make ready that are already sold.
Maybe a bit more than 2 weeks.
Really? This is the 3rd piece of equipment I've bought at this dealer. I never had to wait before. I know it's all labor related. Getting someone to work, or show up for work. Or even getting qualified help of any sort. But it's really pretty disgusting to have to deal with this. Time is money.
Anyone else having these issues? It's a first for me.
