Availability of CCY attachments.

[Skyssx]

I work at a local feed and OPE store. When my sister and father decided to go in on a compact tractor, I steered them to CCY since that's what the dealer I work at sells. I'd rather not drive 1.5 hours to buy parts and supplies for a Kubota, Case or Mahindra. It took some arm twisting, but I got them to buy a SC2450 over the BX25. We had one in stock, and it was made just a few months ago, so no dry rotting tie rod ends from sitting in the sun for a year.

Credit app approved, we took the SC2450 minus the mm60rse and 3-point hitch, which were ordered at that time. It's been three weeks and my boss doesn't know where the deck and hitch are. I've asked every week so far, and today I asked three times. He left without any sort of answer for me. I'm thinking maybe there ARE no mm60rse decks left to be had! I can't call MTD, i'd end up in an endless "computer aided" loop on the consumer line, and if I call the dealer line, boss might get wind I was checking up on him.

The decks are pure MTD, part numbers are the same format as the rest of their stuff. The Yanmar parts are all prefaced by "CY", and bagged in "Yanmar" printed baggies. There shouldn't be any problem with making another mm60rse. I know that to continue selling Yanmar parts, each dealer will have to sign on with Yanmar. Before intimating that I was interested in a CCY tractor, I asked and was told there was a 90% chance this dealer would be doing so.

So far, we love the BH and FEL, i've got a whole years worth of attachments planned out. Suffice it to say, that without the mower and 3-point, none of us want the tractor. I know CCY has quite a lengthy satisfaction guarantee, but if I need to use that, i'd rather get it out of the way quickly. We've already put 12 hours on since purchasing the tractor.

So how about it? Anyone able to find out about CCY attachments, or should I chance the dealer's hotline?

I would get your sister and/or father to call in to the dealer and have them be "the bad cop" and raise a little heck... or are you tied into their purchase?

When my wife's southern charm doesn't work... she lets my New York attitude get their attention!!!

They know its a family purchase. My sister was the impetus for the purchase, she had 10 apple trees, 6 grape vines to plant, a fence to put in and was seriously thinking of renting a mini-ex before spying the BX25 at the fair. I had to do a fair bit of behind the scenes work to get her into the CCY. If the deck is NLA, I figure she'll never take my recommendations seriously again.

I know my sister could be more persuasive than I could, but we're already sold, so there shouldn't need to be any annoyed customer calls at all.

Does anyone know who makes the 5 foot rear discharge 3 pt. finish mower for cub cadet ? I have one and really like it.Does a good job,just curious.

I think that deck may be hard to get. CCY ended their contract and parted ways. So the luck of getting an MTD deck for that tractor will be very slim as they officially parted ways on September 1st. Yanmar is taking over everything involving the tractors, maybe they will be able to get you a deck. As far as Cub Cadet/MTD go on the deck I am sorry to say it will not be easy, this is likely why it hasnt shown up. Hope you can get it all sorted out.

I really think this might be the case. I'm considering that the boss really isn't following up with me, yet he's always on me about the importance of doing so. I'll press the issue again tomorrow, i'd like to get everything sorted before winter, since it would be dumb to buy a snow push for a CCY without knowing i'd be keeping it.

earljr59 - I'll look it up tomorrow. The CCY stuff has all the manuals available in our parts program. Some of them have manufacturers listed.

Since CCY have parted ways, will your dealership sell the new Yanmar tractors when the CCY inventory runs out?

That is up in the air. I asked after the announcement, before mentioning that my sister was interested in a SC2450 sized tractor, and the answer was that the dealer was 90% sure they were signing up with Yanmar.

Confirmed, deck NLA from MTD. I called parts this morning on my own. I got a number at Yanmar to call. This isn't looking up, which is too bad, because I really like the tractor so far.
