Same order date and supposed to be in by Oct 5th. Loader has been in for a month now.
Hi, new guy here. I ordered my 230 in mid July. At that time I was told the tractor would be here early August. Every few weeks it got delayed another 2 weeks. In mid August my dealer called to tell me no more 230 would be available till December! At that time he told me that Bobcat had a deal where anybody waiting for a 230 could upgrade to a 235 for $700 extra with an October 1st delivery. I took that deal as I have work lined up for the tractor and I have a hard time waitng for something once I have decided to buy! I got my 235 yesterday! Can't wait to try it out on the job

Sure would have been nice to have known about the CT235 deal. I would of taken that in a heart beat. If the deal wasn't so good I would demand my downpayment back and tell them to stick it. I've been played along like you leveller and it just continues. It will be here next week - again (yeah right).
The only reason I waited was because of the price. I could not even find a used tractor for the price I paid for the Bobcat. The dealer was not very helpful and seemed to make up things as he went along. I have no idea if the 235 upgrade was a Bobcat offer or if he just made that up to get me off his back. In any case, I finally got my tractor, am happy with it, but will not go back to this dealer again!

That is basicly it. My 230 has been in for 3 wks, but still no loader. I have
offered to pay for an upgrade to the 235, or to take the tractor w/o the
FEL, but no dice. (I would rather install the FEL myself anyway.)
Part of me thinks the deal was too good to be true....I will be surprised if
I ever get this machine at this stunning price......
i bought my tractor july 23 he had 2 ct230s on the lot, he didnt want to deliver until fel came in ,after a few weeks and me constantly calling him he delivered tractor on august 28, fel came in september 29th, he picked up tractor on october 1st and put on fel and redelivered on october 2. hope this is some encouragement that the loaders are starting to come in, i ordered mine with bobtach bucket.
i am in wyoming county as well, only in pennsylvania.
Ordered mine and paid for it in late July. Was told 6-8 weeks, which has come and gone. No Tractor. Was recently told not until Nov-Dec time frame. Now I'm getting P%$#@*! My CC was promptly charged in July. Now no tractor and the dealer is getting the "float" from my card for 4-5 months. Was told about an upgrade deal to a 235. Waiting for those figures. If they are good, I will take a 235, which are available, so I'm told.
Bobcat marketing needs to fall on their Sword for this fiasco! Dealers not helping much either-very unresponsive. Time for a "come to Jesus" meeting.
