Apparently you have not had to wait on a part. I blanked out the manufacturer brand, because it doesn't matter. If I have to wait on a part to get my tractor fixed, it is a problem! Period. End of story. To accuse the guy of "venting" because he wants better service is a low blow. Venting would be saying that all ***** tractors are junk, the entire tractor line is junk, the engines are junk, etc. It appears to me that he is satisfied with his tractor, but would like a bit faster service on parts delivery. Perhaps by posting that here, the people who can make a difference may read about it and make the parts supply snag go away.
If I have a legitimate problem with a specific item, and others accuse me of venting when I describe that problem, I have to figure that they are hiding something or have a side motive. If it were not for legitimate complaints, companies would never improve their products or service.
But, hey, that's me. I don't care to have my tractor sitting while some logistical issue that doesn't have to be present causes me delays. Maybe other people just want time away from their tractor.
