Delivery time?

[Chuck on lake]

Well I got another call from the dealer today and John Deere has again revised the delivery date. They moved it up from April 5 to mid February. That is a big improvement. Apparently they are refining the supply chain for the various parts. Sure was nice to get that phone call even though the Feb. date is much later than my originally promised date of the end of November 2010.

Un-real.

Deere is giving you the run around and an emotional rollercoster ride. Hey, we love our tractors so, yes, an emotional run-a-around.

That is really poor customer relations. I don't think I could stick with that order. I would travel and try to find what would suit my needs.

I feel for ya though that doesn't move things along.

Have you looked at Kubota.?? I would.

Greetings all - Yes, I seriously looked at Kubota. I don't think I could get used to having both brake pedals on the same side of the console as the hydro pedals. I frequently find myself tapping a brake pedal to keep the snowblower or blade on track when I am moving heavy snow here in Northern Minnesota and the steering is slipping a little. Kubota suggests setting the cruise control but I find that impractical when blowing snow and "feeling" for the road side etc. Well the updated delivery has now been moved from mid February to January 24Th ----still a long ways from the original indicated date of late November 2010 but at least it has moved in the right direction.

:thumbsup:

Chuck my X749 was waiting at the dealer when I got back home. I agree with Rob on trying to find a base 3720 cab on another lot. Most dealers would have found you a tractor and added the options to fit your needs.

I live in Southern MN (banana belt ) but travel to my cabin in Northern Mn quite often. Seems to me I have seen 3x20 tractors with cabs sitting in dealer inventories....as I drive past the sales lots.

Cant your dealer do a trade with somebody?? Seems like too long of a wait to me. :confused2:

Delivery times ceratainly do vary. I also ordered the 3038e and attachments Oct 22nd, in Central Pa. from a smaller dealer. he had one sitting outside but I wanted a new one...he ordered everything, tractor, loader, post hole digger, tiller, I hitch (hope thatis useful) and delivery was slated for either November 18th or Dec. 1. I just got the word it arrived December 15th and it will be delivered to my farmette Monday.
Patience is a virtue and hopefully the tractor will be there for me for many years to come.

I feel your pain, but I wouldn't blame JD or your dealer too much. I ordered a Massey Ferguson in Feb. 10 and didn't take delivery until July 10. I tried buying a JD, but they were in the same situation. Demand far out paced their estimates and the factories were caught without the ability to build sufficient quantities. Waiting sucks, but I don't think you have much of a choice.

Oh my, will it ever arrive? The dealer just called and said the delivery date for my JD 3720 cab model has slipped from January 24th to February 11th. All the expected explanations--------bad weather, plant closed, supply chain interrupted etc. That will make it about 115 days from the time I placed the order until it arrives at the dealer. So if you are thinking about a new one for spring best make up your mind and get that order in!!

that is hard to handle...I just traded in my 3720 cab for a 4720 cab and the tractor (and attachments) came in about a week ahead of schudle...I lucked out. Overall, I waited about 3 weeks. My understanding is once JD issues a PIN on your equipment, it should be shipped in a few days. I don't understand with tracking tech these days, one can't "watch" the status of the order each day.

stay tuned

I am told the tractor was shipped on Feb 4 and should arrive at dealer in northern Minnesota on Valentines day Feb 14. I will keep you updated. Bottom line ....................DO NOT EXPECT OVERNIGHT DELIVERY
