Wow, I feel bad saying this but it took about exactly 4 weeks for my delivery (Jul 27-Aug 25). i hear all new orders are at least 60 days out, regardless of what you order.
First impressions, I'm satisfied. Thats a subjective term though as thats based on what the owner expects to recieve. For the HP, its not the most powerful machine I've used, but realistically its still more machine that i really NEED. Using the loader while moving is noticable, and i havent used the PTO yet. But for the price its a **** of a machine, which is why I went with Bobcat. I only have 3 hrs on it so it hasn't had a good shakedown yet but i see myself enjoying it and being happy with the choice.
Options were Bobtach and Deluxe seat. Love the Bobtach, unit was delivered without the deluxe seat but I feel confident that the dealer will get that taken care of quickly.
Other issues, loader hydraulics leak (few drops after sitting) by the loader QD's but I'm not worried as it seems to be between the hose and QD so its probably not tight enough or something along those lines, and headlight has moisture in it. If its a sealed unit then i will ask for a replacement, if not then no issues.
Ordered with a 60" bucket, recieved a 68" bucket. In retrospect, its probably better with a 68". I question if it will have the power to really dig into hard soil with a bucket that wide, but the tractor measures 61" wide at the outside of the rear lugs (GP tires), plus the width of the tire "bubble". A 60" wouldn't have covered the width of the machine like i expected it to.
All and all, as of today, i would do it again.
