BX Plow order

[RippersVF2]

Good Morning, how long does it usually take for a plow to come in to a dealer? I ordered the 60" plow for my BX25 about three weeks ago and the dealer said its still waiting for a truck to pick it up and they have no delivery date yet. Does that sound right to you guys? I'm located in CT.

Sounds unreasonably long to me but I bought my plow slightly used form Messicks and picked it up. I did buy the quick hitch new and they had it in stock. On the other hand, being winter they might be in short supply. Which dealer did you buy from?

I just purchased a new plow for a RTV in was on the machine in 5 day. last year I order a snow thrower for my Toolcat and it took 12 weeks. it is the luck of the draw.

It is the busy time of the year for a plow.

I ordered a FEL for my J.D. 2320 in October last year 2012.
It took just under 2 weeks for delivery.
After about a week I asked the dealer where it was?
He told me there might be a shipping delay due to "Sandy"
Maybe she is delivering your blade too:confused3:

According to the dealer the plow is at the warehouse but they are waiting for a truck to pick it up. Do they wait until they have a full truck headed this direction? It's been at that status for over a week now...

I just got the 60" plow and Quickhitch this winter. I was told it should be in "in about two weeks or so", and they called in just about three weeks. They told me they had waited a bit to call me, as they were waiting for the skid shoes. They offered to send the skid shoes separately, their cost, so I went ahead and picked up the plow and hitch. It was just about another week before the shoes showed up at my door via UPS.

This particular dealer does seem to move a fair amount of product, and I know they have a few locations, so maybe they have shipments more often. It still seems to me that you are having to wait a bit long for yours.

I bought the same setup for my BX2660 from Norfolk Power Equipment in Burrillville RI. They also have two stores in Mass. The quick hitch and blade were in stock, I waited about a week for a rubber blade edge (6 weeks ago). Call them, maybe they have a full setup in stock.

Well it still hasn't shipped to the dealer yet. Good thing it hasn't snowed much so far! I guess I wait another week and if it doesn't come in by then maybe cancel and look elsewhere.

Finally came in today! Took about two hours to put everything together and mount to tractor, but well worth it!

Great! It's good to hear you're really happy with it, especially after such a long wait to get it. Have fun! :thumbsup:

It took 12 weeks for me to get my plow for my BX2660. I finally forced my dealer to buy one that another dealer had in inventory because they promised it in 3 weeks. 12 weeks later I got it 2 days before the first snow that year. Talk about stressful. Especially cuz I used mine for business.

Many other bad things happened with that purchase due to that dealer. I have since switched dealers and have had no problems with my next two Kubota tractor purchases.

You will love that blade set up. It's amazing what you can do with such a small tractor and blade.

True! I pushed through a drift as tall as my hood on my BX2660. I was totally impressed.

Looks good! How much lift, or should I say, how high does the plow lift?

That is the only issue as the plow only lifts about 18" or so. I can measure when I get home. However, it isn't really a problem as the tractor will ride up the snow pile a bit. Our first storm that I had/used the plow for was 12 inches of snow. I cleared our 2600 ft gravel drive without issue other than a few inclines that I lost traction on. I now have chains on the rear.

You could opt for a setup that attaches to the bucket or loader arms and lift would be a non-issue. The new BX quick hitch system has the loader arm capability. Of course that comes at an extra price.

Working good!

Nice. I thought about plowing the 1"-2" slop we got today, but I put a new lock on my shed door and couldn't get the lock to open, so I took that as a sign and just went back inside. Suppose to be almost 50* by Wednesday. Of course had I just gotten a new plow, you bet I would be out there before the last snow flake landed. LOL

Thanks for the info. It looked to me that the plow would lift maybe half that amount.
