And the last two...

It's very odd that one dealer has them in stock, but two other dealers I spoke with, (one in Colorado, the other in Texas) have no idea when they would be available, had no information about them, including prices. When I told them about the pics, they were dumbfounded!

So that one would be = a 3025? It will be interesting when they redo my model.

Yep. It's disconcerting for buyers because it illustrates LS USA is not functioning like a well oiled machine. New product arriving? Specs, pricing, marketing materials should be in dealers hands well before the product hits the showroom floor. It's either poorly managed or underfunded. Neither is good. In this day and age of digital everything, it's just not that hard or time consuming to create documents and email them.

Well I don't think it would matter so much for buyers, but more for the dealers. One of the dealers basically summed it up by saying that the dealers that still had old stock needed to try and sell harder before the new stock would be shipped. High volume dealers have first priority. The dealers have been aware of the model change since last November, just not when the change would take place.

For me, as a consumer / customer, it actually benefit me. I got a great deal on a 3025. It's a 2019, has all the updates, but actually got it below dealer cost. (LS actually kicked in customer loyalty cash to the amount of $500) I would say LS is taking care of me.

That looks good are you going to get one ?

As stated in the previous post, I ended getting a super- great deal from RCO tractor in Austin Tx on a 2019 XG3025 with all the updates and same loader as the new MT2-25e.
