How long to wait..

[ChuckinNH]

Yes, I'll check on it in the morning. The dealer is an old time dealership, and has good people to talk to. My grandfather did business with them. The Kubota dealership in the same town is the same way though. They never know for sure when they might have a truck headed your way. I was thinking about upgrading my garden tractor later, and I need to find out what is going on with this before I talk to them about the garden tractor.

With the crazy weather we've had this year the fall harvest is still ongoing. I wouldn't be surprised if your dealer is covered up with service work. If thats the case he still should have called you.

Perhaps it is just me, but it seems like many dealerships are a lot more willing to sell something than to deliver it. How long do you folks think it is reasonable to wait for an attachment that is in stock, and fully assembled. This last one did require the pto shaft to be cut, but they had the dimensions. I don't want to be unreasonable, but when you write a check for $2,000-$5,000 you would think it would be worth delivering promptly. My experience doesn't support this though. I certainly would be willing to pay a delivery charge if they are just waiting for several other things that they haven't sold yet to come my way. I am 25-35 miles from any dealership, and I know that has an influence too....

So...has it been a day or a week or a month?

Dealership I purchase from will roughy give date,and they been darn close last 16 years..if something should pop up and can't make the date dealership calls.

Seasons might play roll in waiting time..like they say"Balls to the walls than nothing happening"

Purhasing tractor or attachment dealer doesn't have in stock the custom may have more waiting time until next delivery from the plant..I waited extra couple weeks for fel.

I would give sale person jingle and ask for update.

I talked to the dealership this morning, and they will be bringing the snowblower today. I'm hearing disabled, a gift from long ago, and far away, and I had asked them to call, and leave a message if there were problems, and they apologized for not doing that. It seems with our first real snow storm last week they had a bunch of work with their commercial accounts... Anyway, thanks to everyone for letting me vent a bit and for helping me keep my patience. I had waited a month from another dealer a couple of years ago before cancelling the order, and didn't want to go down that road again.

Looking good and I would guess that the price was maybe closer to the 5k range? Next time let me know I have an 18ft. trailer in a town 45 minuets between two Kubota dealers!:
