RTV shortage over???

[moeh1]

I haven't keep up to date, work is a little overwhelming lately. Has the pace slowed down enough to get a decent price on the RTVs? I will probably look at the recreation model and install the aftermarket hydraulic bed lift to meet my needs.
thanks for any input.

I'm on a waiting list in southern California. No deals locally.

I will be getting twice and many in the next six months than I have since this thing came out. Actual inventory should not be too far away.

The accessories are a different story, expect to have to wait for some of them.

Local dealer near me has 1 sitting on the lot. He's had 2 sitting there for 2 months but just sold one. After the initial onslaught of buyers (all on the waiting list), he hasn't had any buyers. Not sure if they're offering any price discounts.

The is a Kubota/New Holland Dealer in Davie, FL that has about 10 of them on thier lot. I drive by there about twice a month. They've had this many for at least a month or two.

I just happened to have to stop by the old kubota dealership yesterday to get some stuff. this dealer had about 8 on his lot. i was of course checking them out again.
he said they have been selling them like crazy and this was a new shipment.
He gave me a price on the rec. version of $9950. and $10400 on a worksite? the one with a hyd bed and rear remote. said they sold one to a 70 year old woman to get around her pondarosa.

I really would love to have one but i still have a few payments to kubota credit on my tractor. i am sure the temptation won't go away soon as long as i read these posts. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm still seeing a few here and there that people haven't sold yet. However, they are in remote areas so it isn't surprising. I talked with a couple of them when I was looking at buying one and they were too high for me. I ended up getting a recreational model with the hydraulic lift and standard canopy top. I paid 9700 for the RTV 200 for the top and 1250 for the hydraulics installed. Of course we had to add the 7% sales tax also. You'll have to do the math, I don't remember the total off the top of my head. Sure my wife does though. I have had it a couple of months but have only put 4 hours on it. Looks great in the garage though. This winter will be when the hours start to add up a little. Flower bed work and hunting season. GS

I drove one last week at a dealer in Ohio that had 8 on his lot. Last night I spoke to a dealer at a local fair in Ohio that has several and said he could get any I wanted the next day or so. Also said he'd put a speedometer on one for free if I'd buy one. The one I drove the other day didn't have as much acceleration as the Polaris Ranger and the seating wasn't as wide as the Ranger. So if transporting folks around is a concern the Ranger is wider or at least the seats are.

Dealer here has about that many as well. They are not selling very well here. He has sold one since they came in. I told him people on this site were saying there was a shortage of them and he said he wished he had a shortage rather than a surplus.
