Getting Parts etc.

[Williy]

I talked to my dealer today he said getting Blue LS tractors and parts no problems and getting parts for Yanmar tractors no problem but getting Yanmar tractors and attachments is a different story. Not sure if ifs because of tires & wheels

Which blue? If New Holland he is FOS. New Holland product availability sucked before the pandemic and is nonexistent now. Parts availability is OK. I can't speak to LS availability.

I don’t own any blue but the blue dealers around here do not have any new inventory only used. I don’t mean 1 dealer 4 that I drive by 3-4 times a week

New Holland Workmasters are made by LS if I am not mistaken.

Also to answer OPs question same with Kubota in my part of the world. No machines, no attachments. They have parts just fine But sometimes it takes a month to get them due to truck driver shortages. Most of the time not an issue.

You aren’t mistaken. NH product availablity sucks. That’s just a fact.

Have a large JD dealer with multiple regional locations, and one here within 1½ miles of the house. No tractor inventory. Have a Kubota dealer 2 miles from house. No tractor inventory. He's resorted to selling dump trailers.

Have a Yanmar/Fendt/Mahindra dealer 1¾ mi from house and he has a couple of Yanmar tractors, 1-2 Mahindras, and a HUGE Fendt ag tractor. That's it for a 25 mile radius.

Can't speak to the parts problem, but I suspect it's just as bad.

Haha my Kubota dealer is selling trailers now as well! Crazy.

All I can say is that once the chip shortage and supply chain issues are resolved there will likely be a lot of used trucks and tractors available at very reasonable prices.

I hope you are correct. I read the CEO of BWM says the chip shortage will last another 6-12 months.

It depends on the part if there is a shortage. A lot of parts go into making a tractor, it only takes one missing part to prevent it from being made. I know JD was having issues with some of their filters.
