Still Waiting For A LS MT342

[KCTractors]

I ordered the tractor March 16, 21 and still waiting. Dealer says maybe by the end of July. That sucks but he can not help it.

Seems to be most vendors these days?

It's every industry right now. I put an order in for a polaris rzr side x side in May and originally told 4-8 weeks and it's now pushed back until August! Hopefully your tractor gets in soon!

Your dealer would have gotten the bulletin from LS 2 or 3 weeks ago explaining their supply and shipping issues.

Most likely going to take awhile to fix.

Yeah, last month I remember reading a market report that John Deere has an $8.1 billion backlog of orders that they are working to fill. They've had a hard time hiring people and also part shortages slowing things down, like computer chips from overseas being one of them.

The United States is importing EACH MONTH $70 billion worth of goods more than it exports, and that's just the deficit! Ports are backed up, and even when production overseas ramped up post covid, it still takes a long time for things to catch up.

There's also been a spike in demand much higher than companies expected. For Deere it was 32% increase over year to year. When companies generally make a product, they allow for some expansion and contraction at the factory so their supply can meet demand, but due to all these reasons, companies just cannot adjust this rapidly.

That's just 9 combines!

That's just 9 combines!

It will continue this way until end of 2022 shortages in market place. Be patient once everything catches up there will be good buys. All suppliers I deal with see no end in sight short term. Long-term different outlook 12-18 months things improve. Let’s hope we don’t rebound into an unexpected recession once everything normalizes once again. Save your money for better days to come.

When I got my tractor it took 6 weeks for the backhoe to come in. I know your pain.

If the dealer would; not have gotten me a tractor from
another dealer I would still be waiting until November
to get one and I ordered in March

My son ordered a polaris general back in march .They ended up cancelling his order and told him he would have to wait on a 2022 model at no telling the cost. My local Ls dealer says Ls cant get tires or loaders, he is still waiting on orders from last november.

My 42H ran into electrical issues that LS couldn’t fix. They had no ETA on a replacement so they got me into a 47H for the cost difference, which was fine by me (I would never expect a freebie like that). Rather than wait for who knows how long, I got into a similar but slightly stronger unit they had on the lot. My point is if you can find any of the series in stock, decide if the $1000-3000 difference is worth the price to get one now rather than next year.

I ordered an LS MT3 47 HC in May no word yet . Called dealer he knows nothing , called LS USA they know nothing . I couldn’t even get a guess as to when I’d get my tractor. Very disappointed so far.

I think my local dealer has sold 2 in the last 2 weeks. He has tractors.

No Tractor yet, could not pick it up now away, wife has the Covid. I have to quarantine!

 

[Williy]

I ordered my tractor the first part of March 21 and my dealer kept calling to see when they would ship after several times of them telling different dates then it was Nov 21 my dealer got a tractor from another dealer so I have had my for 6 weeks
now and really enjoy using it. Altho I feel like a grease monkey when it comes to greasing the backhoe and bucket and the grease fittings on the tractor.

Will it's Nov, 16,2021 and no tractor yet. Dealer said there is not one in the entire state. I guess I'll just have to keep waiting!

I just bought a MT357HC earlier this month from the dealer in NE WI. This dealer has had a constant flow of tractors coming in recently included 3 MT352HC, a MT347H, and the MT357HC I just bought but they had in inventory since October(all have been sold already). They have also had some larger and smaller tractors come in recently. Most don't stay on the lot more than a week. They weren't my closest dealer but they were the only one that was getting in tractors. Doesn't seem fair that some dealers are getting priority over others but it looks like that is what is happening.

My dealer is Alabama has had tractors and selling them.
