Kubota Snow Blowers

Farmall45b · Jan 21, 2015

Has anyone gotten a Kubota snow blower from their dealer this year? I ordered a new B2650HSDC with a front mount snowblower this past October. My dealer is still waiting for the snow blower to arrive. The shipment has been delayed 2 times already. Apparently they pre-sold a bunch of snow blowers last spring and they are still waiting for these to arrive also. Why does it always seem that Kubota is unable to deliver snow blowers for their tractors?

Earlier in this winter season, Buffalo NY got dumped on with huge amounts of snow, maybe Kubota shipped all their blowers to Buffalo ?

Probably because everyone waits for winter before they decide they want one.

I bought the tractor but dealer had to order snow blower as he was all out . I emailed Kubota headquarters asking what the delay was getting the blower as winter was coming etc. . They emailed me back and apologized, as the dealer said, " it would only take 2 weeks " . I had also ordered a front weight bracket and weights which they gave to me for free due to the delay . I was happy with that . It seems they have to wait for a full truck in order to make a shipment to different localities .

HEC, do you have to email address that you sent the email to? I would like to contact Kubota and voice my concern. I ordered in September with promise of delivery in the fall, then Christmas, now today it was supposed to be here and is not. It is my understanding from my dealer that they places orders last spring that they are still unable to fufill almost a year later.

I don't remember the email address I used , I just looked Kubota corp. and used the contact us info . I was very surprised how quickly they responded . The computer I used then crashed so I don't have that info anymore .

Not that it helps you any, but Kubota subcontracts with RAD Tech. out of Canada for their snowblowers. I believe JD also uses them and probably some other tractor makes. Who knows if the backlog or delay is with Kubota or RAD?

Did you order in September or October? Conflicting info there. I ordered my blower on June 11. Had it in one month, just needed to wait for full load on delivery truck. Good luck. Philip.

Dealer called today and said that it did not arrive as today as was promised by Kubota. They are saying that Kubota won't tell them when the snow blower will arrive. They are working up that chain at Kubota, but so far no info. I according to me dealer, the order was placed in September, probably later in the month from my recollection.
