Landpride lead times?

[redmosquito1983]

I'm buying a new Kubota and in the deal I'm including a box scraper and land rake; since it's been about a week and a half since we got the deal set I called them to see if it was ready. The dealer said the tractor is ready to go but we are waiting on the 2 implements to arrive to complete the financing paperwork. Wondering if anyone has any idea on what the current lead times are for that stuff during these covid times. They were going to look into ways to finish the deal or estimate when the implements would be in and call me back but I missed their call back and they're closed today, so I cant just ask them until Monday.

Any insight would be great. I figure worst case scenario I'll settle on a different implement they have in stock to get the full $700 rebate and pick up the other stuff when they arrive or used.

Thanks

No idea on CV-19 delivery times. If the scraper & rake are what you really need - just wait. Maybe I just don't understand your situation and the implements - ??

You likely got a MUCH better price on the implements, buying as a package.
If you get a refund, you could pay twice the price for them elsewhere.

No situation, I’m just impatient. I have loader work and plowing I can be doing around the property while waiting for the implements to arrive. If it’s going to be several weeks before they arrive I’d rather not wait as I have some used plows I picked up cheap ready to get to work.

If they honor the price quoted in the deal it won’t make any difference to me.

I've been waiting close to three months for a box blade. I may see it next week.

This is my concern. I am buying the tractor to do work; it does me no good sitting at the dealer waiting on an implement that is in stock at my local TSC, granted not equivalent quality. So I guess I’ll have to see what the dealer says and go from there. I can always go with a brush hog or something.

The NEW buzz word.The NEW NORMAL.Everything is seems lately has 2-4 month wait time.To many people sitting on the couch that don't want to work and collect a government check.

Talking to my dealer, the problem they have started with Covid and shipping delay, but was compounded because everyone had time on their hands and a check from the government. They sold out their inventory and other dealers did also. It was good thing for the dealers and it is nice to see a lot of people getting into gardening, landscaping, etc.

Because demand has been high for implements, especially home owner/hobby farmer size, there isn't many left to be had. Manufactures are working to get the supplies back up, but my guess is that most manufactures aren't going to increase production capacity due to this temporary bump in demand. So, that leaves us waiting for product.

My guess is that in the coming years we will see a large influx of lightly used implements that may be able to be had for a good price. Yet for now, patience is a virtue.

Kubota tractors ship from Kubota plants in Georgia.

Kubota owned Land Pride implements are manufactured in Kansas. If you are distant from Kansas uncertain transportation compounds uncertainty of Land Pride delivery forecasts.

TSC/Tarter implements are manufactured in Kentucky.


When you revise your T-B-N PROFILE to show your new L3301, I suggest you add your LOCATION at the same time. Your location is germane to this post and most others.

I took delivery of the tractor the last week of June. I would of liked everything at once but I have gotten a lot of other things done without the boxblade.
