Are you unhappy with your machine?

Grand_Pooba,

I see you're in Wyoming county! I guess we're neighbors! I live in Honeoye Falls, just south of Rochester. What town do you live in?

I'm about 60 miles south east of you, near the town of Arcade. I've got a
CT230 also and I'm happy with it so far....but since my loader is still on back order all I've really done is a little back blading. My dealer told me it is supposed to ship on monday and with a little luck I'll have it installed by next weekend.

Ordered July 8th and still no clue as to when it's going to show up. This is absolutely ridiculous! I'm all for waiting for a good deal but I'm starting to really get ticked. If I had any idea it would take this long I would have negatiated a loaner. Live and learn.

still waiting from June 23...but I now have a loaner 120 which is taking a beating until mine shows.

I was told today that there was a "strike" at the factory, now the tractor I ordered in July won't even be built till November? Anyone else here this or am I being bs'ed. 60 days turns into 4-5 months, then what?

My CT230 was ordered on 7-23, and it came in a couple of weeks ago,
sans loader. The loader came in a week ago, and the dealer started the
install Tuesday of this week. All according to them....I await my delivery.

Bobcat has announced closure of one of their two plants in ND.

Boy I hope you are being BS'ed. My dealer told me there was a labor dispute too but still said it should be here anytime. Sounds like it's time to start talking to him about a loaner (with a snow blower

)

By any day what is that? If my dealer can say a build date of November, I would think yours would know if tractor was built or not. I was told they are final assembled in Minnesota and a week to ten days after that they are at dealer. Yeah it was a good deal but I think a few thousand more for a kubota or deere is sounding like a better deal.

Many, many people needed to save that 2-5 thousand. And, is that all you saved? I suppose that if you want a tractor right away, a person should purchase one that a dealer has on his lot.

Just my opinion

Im not above saving the money. My point is even if the tractros were $50 dollars if there arent any to sell who cares. If they cant make enough to fill orders, then the dealers should tell people 4-5 months out instead of the old any time now. Now we all wait while chores and winter will not.
