Delivery time from signing?

[ultrarunner]

Bought a new L3800 from a local Dealer plus a few implements.

It's been 3 weeks and still waiting on the Hoe from Kubota.

Last I heard it was in transit from Georgia...

The arrangement was to have everything delivered at one time.

Never occurred to me it might take a month or more.

When I bought my BX23 it was ready for immediate delivery... maybe I was just lucky.

Anyone else waiting a BH77 hoe?

Also, Kubota lists two quick attach pallet forks for the L3800... Dealer suggested getting a Landpride that is rated for 3,000 lbs... which is much greater than the loader capacity and I'm thinking the more the forks weigh the less capacity to lifting...

If it is not on the dealers lot, then both you and the dealer are at the mercy of the supply chain. Certainly seasonal inventory and demand determine who gets what and when.

Did a little checking and it seems the hold up is freight... sending out the unit separate vs part of a full truck load with the latter being much less expensive.

Don't really need the hoe right now... sure could use the tractor.

My thought was to have the unit complete and inspected on the Dealer's lot so everything could be delivered together at one time.
