John Deere 110 Compact TLB

Holy Toledo Batman!! You're right! No tie downs, no chains.
Wow, there goes my upgrade. /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif Guess I blew it. All that investigation and didn't even notice that. Seriously, /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif I really didn't, AND I promise it is not my tractor.
Can't believe no chains. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif Wow again.

That's not good news for me. I wonder if
Tags has the valves for the 4n1 bucket even though he doesn't have the bucket. I'm starting to feel sick about this whole experience. Mine is most likely in limbo and they're not talking anymore. How lowww can they go.

Hey Horace,
Thanks for sticking with it on the pics. I hope it didn't cost me too much. We all appreciate your ability to get the lighting so perfect.
Is that your JCB?
I have one of those also.
A 1980 with 600 hours.
Real great machine- too big for me.
Looking for something smaller, more specific to my needs.
Thanks again for the picture array,
Doug Smith

I think RobS might be onto something here. You mentioned that there were two rigs on that trailer. Your pics only show one and without tie-downs.
What gives? Are you some secret John Deere public relations expert sent out to soothe the savage beasts on this board?
You really touched on some points which only a highly skilled, factory trained, slick talking sales/public relations guy would know. What about the interest rates???
Have a great day, Horace

Had to jab you a little after al the fun we had in the e-mails

It's been raining here for two days 3'' I think drought is over. Since I'm running errands I relunctantly visited the dealer to see about the status of my tractor. Well it's not ready to ship anymore. It seems it's been sitting around with a bunch of other ones, part of the batch that had defective parts. He said they bring some in on the production line at times to change out the parts and get ready to ship. If that doesn't beat all! He said mine is in the line now and being ready to ship once again. He's told me it's ready to ship three times so far. What a disgusting outfit JD is and I'm too stupid to tell them to stick it. But this is the last piece of John Deere that I purchase, if it does indeed happen. Joe holds a grudge!

Ohh la la, your French no!

Joe, I can see you have really grown. Just admitting your French is a big step. Your tractear will arrive soon no, all will be oki doki. Now is not the time to worry, wait till you have a gas line in your hoe bucket, then you will have big worries until then have party fun, best luck and no cussing.

Well fellas,I got my Phantom 110 last night,ran it around a bit,spread some process,had to get home though the wife was makin dinner and didn't want to be late so I parked her for the night,it apparently has a bad check valve,the loader does creep down but ever so slowly,if you weren't lookin' for it you wouldn't know it was happening,they ordered the valve and will install it when they get it,I don't think the dealer wanted to be out of 2 pieces of rental equipment so they sent the Phantom to me.I would have used it to Harley rake a lawn today but it didn't come w/the 3 point hitch so I used a buddies machine,but to my amazement my salesman called me outta the blue today and said he had my 3 point hitch.....WOO-HOO /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif........of course this was after I had finished raking.I headed back to my shop to install the skid plate,stabilizer gaurds,and 3 point hitch,but of course it started to rain.....HEAVILY.....so I waited for the rain to stop/slow down and couldn't resist,I had to go play,so I spread some more process,piled up some mulch,and moved a couple of paver pallets around that weigh about 3000lbs,I picked em' up about 2' off the ground and drove em to a new spot,I was surprised it picked them up,but I'm not sure that it would've gone much higher,but I didn't try,it did feel a bit tipsey though,I'm going to look into having the rear tires filled w/anti freeze and water.Anyway tomorrow I'm putting on the goodies(the ones that I have anyway) and if the weather is good I'm takin' this pig to do some work.

I have to say though this whole experience has left me with that "not so fresh feeling" am I glad I bought this machine,yes,it really has the potential to be a great machine,I say potential because I don't really know what or how the thing is going to perform aside from the few minutes I've had on it,but I'm gonna find out,do I think that JD should have waited till they had their s@#t together, absolutely,it really shows that they still haven't quite gotten the whole thing w/delivery or enough product down yet,and it shows that they are willing to tell the dealers sell,sell,sell even though they didn't have the goods,next time they come out w/somethin' new I think I'll wait a year that way I won't have to wait 3 months.
