Kubota Snowblowe & Quick Hitch Availability

[Farmall45b]

I know in MN and WI blowers and blades are going to be very hard to get, if even possible. All the dealers that I called offered to put me on "the list" but that I should not really hope to get anything this winter. Bummer for me casue I bought and payed for my stuff this last summer and was promised delivery in the fall.

I agree, that is more than a bummer. My dealer gave me a lawn tractor to mow with while they were working on my new setup. I don't think that's too much to ask when you are promised things and have paid for them.

Well all hope is not loss after calling seceral dealers and having them tell me come in and pay us and we will get one as soon as they are available (Mid February seems to be the timeframe). I had a dealer do some calling and said he could do some horse trading and have one before thanksgiving and as long as he had my word I would take it when he got it than no need to pay for it until I pick it up (price was $100 more than the other dealers). Well I told him I would take it so we will see what he can do, I did originally buy my tractor from him.

Well the dealer picked up my B2320 today to install the quick hitch and the snowblower. No word on my blade yet, other than it does not exist. Are there any dealers on here or anyone else that knows of a dealer who has a 60 inch blade to go onto a quick hitch? If there is one in the country, I would think that it could be shipped in a crate in a week or two. My dealer or Kubota would just have to pay the shipping charges, but that is the consequences of selling something to someone, telling them that it exists and just needs to get on a truck and shipped only to find out that it never existed in the first place.

Farmall45b, Send Brady Barlow at Barlowequipment.com a note with your questions as he will help you out and give you the straight answer you are looking for. I have had years of dealing with him and would never go to anyone else. That B26 at the left came from him along with alots of attachments.

gotcha,
I emailed Brady and will post his response as soon as I get it. The longer this deal with my snow equpment goes on the more frusterated I get. I have started contacting dealers across the country to see if I can find a blade in inventory. I don't see why my dealr can't do this but, I guess that is the way it is.

Its starting to sound like the situation at RAD (the snow equipment supplier for ALL the major tractor lines) is not good this year. I have no idea why, but snow equipment is comming much more slowly than it should. Apparently another one of our salesmen has been waiting on a blower since June. There is not much anyone can do right now but swap stuff between dealers to meet retail orders. It sound like all dealers are having trouble filling retail orders right now. We just shipped a blower out to the midwest to fill an order about two weeks ago.

MessickFarmEqu,

Do you have any front blades in stock that would fit the quick hitch on my B2320?

 

[MessickFarmEqu]

Nope.. I need the quick hitch that you have though.

I recieved and e-mail back from Brady Barlow at Barlow equipment today. He does not have a blade for me in stock, but he is going to contact Kubota for me today and find out what the deal with these is. Does anyone know if withing the Kubota dealer network there is any way to do a nationwide locate for a poeice of equipment. I would think that there may be one dealer somewhere in the coutry that has a blade left over from last year or something.
