For those of you who have down payments on a CT230 or recently received yours, what kind of wait time was your dealing telling you? I was told "2-4 weeks, but probably closer to 4". I've also read some of you on here saying as much as 60 days. Just curious on what I should be expecting.

Bad news:

I ordered mine before 4th of July, and last week my dealer told me that my tractor will not be BUILT until the second week of september. We assume that to mean in Korea, so tack on another month for shipping to USA distributor. Ouch.

In my case...Order placed on Jun 26th. As of today the dealer estimated the delivery time to still be another 30-60 days! It seems that Bobcat sort of got caught with their pants down on the cash rebates (IE the pent up demand was way more than they expected).

The dealer has offered me a loaner machine to get some work done in the interim (he did not say what). If we are looking at Oct delivery then I might have to take him up on his offer. He did mention that he received a new CT245 today....Hmm.. Maybe we can work something out...

I ordered my CT230 on July 15th and was told 3-8 weeks for the tractor and 12 weeks for the loader. Another deal fell through at the dealership so I got moved up the list...took delivery Aug. 4th. I'm still waiting on the loader and I hope it doesn't go 12 weeks.

I ordered mine July 31st and was told 6-8 weeks. That was based on the one he JUST got in that took 7 weeks.

Thanks for all the replys. My dealer hit me for my deposit July 30th so, it looks like it will most likely be Sept before I am driving a bobcat around the yard.
:rolleyes:

Put money down July 8th and nothing yet on the tractor (CT230 with turf tires and loader). The loader already showed up at the dealer fortunately so hopefully the tractor isn't far behind. It sure is hard to wait isn't it?

I had a couple cash jobs go by while I was waiting on mine to come in, so I know exactly what you mean.

Ordered my ct 230 from oklahoma dealer July 8th. Initially told 5 or 6 weeks but today was told that the distributor won't give any type of estimate for delivery date. Was told that when the order is placed the only information they can get from distributor is 1. ORDERED 2. BUILT or 3. SHIPPED.....my status is still "ordered"...so it may be a while...
