PROBLEMS ORDERING FRONT QUICK ATTACH FOR MF GC2610??

[redrider2227]

Hey everyone,
New to the forum. Love the site.

Bought a 2009 MF GC2610 in June. I also purchased a 60" HEAVY DUTY DOZER BLADE, HYDRAULIC ANGLING KIT, AND FRONT QUICK HITCH ATTACHMENT. My dealer keeps telling me AGCO has the attachments on back order. Now it's November. Still no attachments for my tractor. Called around to other "local dealers" (nothings local in this neck of the woods) & they too cannot order these parts or give a date as to when they can. Called AGCO & they inform me they don't even have my dealer listed as a MF dealer. Have yet to call me back.

Love the tractor but if I can't buy what I need to use it I almost wish I went with a different tractor company now. Anyone else having problems ordering these attachments for their GC2610's??

Thanks alot. Jay

You are not the only one seeing extended lead times on machinery. We have recently been hearing alot of comments that sound very similar to yours. And it isn't just MF dealers. We do have a complete line of attachments for smaller HP loaders that are made right here in the US - 3 day availability on most items - In-stock items can ship the same day. We did just lauch this new dozer blade (no tilt feature yet) but it will push a lot of snow quickly. If the arm spacings are close on your MF loader we also may be able to assist you with the QA set up or use your current pin-style set up. You may want to check to see if your dealer is a Westendorf dealer too, have him give us a call when you get tired of waiting.

Looks a bit on the large side for a GC!

This has been an on going problem for the past 2 years...there is 1 company that makes those blades and quick hitch set up, they supply them to MF,JD,Kubota and NH.
It is a pain in the ***** to deal with.
If only the Canadan manufacture would understand our needs they would have a boat load of inventory.
We placed an order for snowblower last Oct and I received one of them this past July Yes I said July!
It is a battle I wish we as dealers did not have to fight!

- It does appear bigger than it really is in the photo. It really isn't that big its only 60" wide, just a heavy built unit. It is for compacts - I'm sure if you wanted it smaller, they'd chop off a foot for you

I have a GC2300. Can that blade be made to fit on the loader arms? Can it angle?

Price?

I've been looking for a set up like this for some time

I actually gave up waiting for the quickhitch as well for my gc2300 ended up making my own from looking at pictures and taking measurements and such from off my cousins who has that for his bx1800 kubota.It took some time to do but at least I have it and its ready to use once the snow comes.I've posted a couple pictures in the build it yourself forum of tbn I don't have the exact measurements at this time as I used cardboard templates and wrote the measuerments down on them.There somewhere long gone now but maybe someone that you know has one and you can get measurements etc;off of there's the other problem you need to beable to weld and fabricate as well.As always Larry

Rick,

I agree with you. If RAD would ramp up production during the summer months, this would not be an issue.

If there were more blowers on hand, do you think this would help lower the price a little? (Profit by higher sales volume?) I weuld love a front blower, but do not want to pay close to $5k once it is all said and done. I kow there are other manufacturers ou there, but they tie up the rear PTO with their models, and I do not want that.

Thanks everyone for responding. I feel a bit better hearing from all of you that this is an ongoing problem yet at the same time what a joke! I'm out a couple grand, don't have anything to show for it & winter is knocking real hard. I can't believe they make it this difficult to get these attachments for your tractor. WTF?

Is there any other set ups from companies other than dealers/tractor manufacturers that I can go to? Any plow comanies make attachments to fit tractors? Maybe something that attaches to the FEL for the MF GC2610? Like a skid steerer? I think member 75H2 mentioned this as well. Thanks in advance guys. Jay

Yep, we're all in the same boat on this one. From what I understand RAD wants snow equipment orders way before of the manufactures are ready to get it to them (probably in spring/summer) and so they end up with a late start to get stuff built for winter. Last year we got our 'big' snow equipment order in March.

And that makes it so hard for the customer, who suddenly has some extra cash in September, or has been saving up all year, and wants a front mount snow blower.

Suddenly I'm feeling very lucky that I only had to wait 2-3 weeks for mine when I bought my 2310 2 years ago..... (NO, it's not for sale- I love it!)

Hope you folks don't have to wait too long- what a bummer; it's really a wonderful piece of equipment!

Heard from AGCO direct today. Now we figured out why I haven't received the attachments I've had on order for over 5 months. The East Coast district director called to tell me they yanked the dealership from the place I bought my GC2610 from in June. They went in one day recently & removed his entire inventory from the lot. He also went on to tell me that my attachment order was probably never placed ...

I have a new dealer which is now about 40 miles away instead of 20. I will be getting a refund from the deadbeat dealer in the meantime. The district director also assurred me he will search for the attachments I originally ordered & get them asap to my "new" dealer.

WOW. What a drag.

Glad you got to the bottom of it anyway. I hope you are able to get your deposit back. Fingers crossed.

Does anyone have any updates on attachment availability? I ordered a front blower when I bought my tractor in September. I was told to expect a December delivery, but after reading this thread I'm a little worried. Has anyone taken delivery of a new MF blower or blade recently?

Thanks

We recieved a shipment of blowers/blades last Friday, the shop has been busy getting them put together for delivery, you should see your blower soon.
