Another New MT125 owner...

[JTMachineDesign]

I am curious... does the dealer have the tractor? Are they just waiting on the BH? Get a contract in writing for the pricing of both... but take delivery of the tractor. Take it back to have the BH put on when it arrives. The dealer still has to put it on one way or another.... no difference in labor or time. My neighbor did this twice... the first time with his 125, then when he traded that in on his 225-S. Sure it takes time for you to take it back, but at least you would have the tractor to use.... just a thought....

No, they told me the 125s go the same day they arrive.. I put a deposit down so I'd get the next one. Besides, it's the BH I need first
My trailer isn't big enough to haul it, the dealer will deliver it. They said they've delivered nearly 40 tractors to my town BUT, it's not that big of a town and I've never seen one up here so...
One of the reason they've said they've not received one is that trucks to transport them are scarce.. yet.. they sell trailers, of all sizes. It got real quiet when I asked why they didn't hook one up and go get them..

My local dealer went to pick my MT240HE up, was an overnight trip for them, about 6hrs each way. They try not to do that, but seems to be fairly common. They estimated my wait time at about 2 weeks, when that went by, I bugged them a bit and they made the run to get it (and another)

Apparently the distribution point for my dealer is in Sacramento so it would be a 7 hour trip (5 if you drive like a local)
They told me they said all the parts are there now so it's just a matter of getting a truck to pick it up. Said to plan on Tuesday-ish for arrival.

we will see...

I sure hope they are able to get it! You have been waiting a while.... at least they seem to be moving forward!

Well, the dealer told me today that my tractor (along with two others) left the distribution yard in Sacramento around 2:00 pm Pacific.. Could be at the dealer tomorrow or Thursday..

We will see.

anyone know what size bucket the BH ships with? 9"? 12"?

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

The loader ships with a 50" bucket. If you are asking about the BH bucket, 12" is the standard.

Ya, I meant the backhoe. I saw a part number listed in the manual for a 36" Backhoe bucket yikes!

My dealer told me 12” was standard.

Can you imagine a 3 foot wide bucket on that hoe?

Well waddya know? Dealer delivered it moments ago!



apparently, 3 of them arrived today, all were sold. The dealer wants to close for the holidays so they rushed mine over (I'm 67 miles from the dealer) so they could all go home
Odds are, my wife will drive it over to the neighbors before I get there
