John Deere 110 Compact TLB

[JoeReal]

Tags I keep hoping when I log on that you will have your tractor. This would tell me that mine may not be that far behind. I wonder if any one out there actually has one of these things. I drove by a Kubota dealer today and looked at an L48. Looks like quite a rugged rig. But compared with the smooth looks of the 110 it looks like a home made tractor to me. I don't mean to offend anyone.

the salesman actually called me, though I was not home. He left a message on the machine regarding the 110. He said that it is ''warehoused'' I guess that's closer to being shipped. I don't amagine that it will go very far this holiday weekend. Just thougth that you might like to hear or have some news yourself. Bushy

My 110 is warehoused as well but with parts missing (valves).
Now it's in the valve suppliers hands.

The salesman says that my 110 has been shipped and is in route from Augusta Ga. which is on the southern boundary of South Carolina. Any Clue to how many hour drive that is by tractor trailer going to Watertown NY 13601 on Memorial Day weekend? It supposably Left Augusta early on the 24th [this morning] . The fantasy in my head is that it will show up by the end of the day Saturday. Bushy

God d@#$,son of a b!@#$ ,mother !@#$%^&* John Deere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My salesman called me today to tell me..............that my 110 is sitting in the factory with no available delivery date!!!!!I don't think JD(corporate and not the dealer)could be any more unprofessional in the handling of this product (or from reading other posts any product) as far as delivery is concerned,I was supposed to get it the end of April,then the middle of May,then I was told last week it was "warehoused" and would be shipped this week,and now sitting in the factory w/no delivery date,well bull@#$% to that,I also found out today that one of the other dealers I priced the machine at here in CT has 3 of them!!!Needless to say I let my salesman know how much I don't appreciate the handling of this whole deal,and I need a loaner machine till it comes in,I can only put off jobs so long before I lose them,they have had my $4000 deposit for over 2 months now,this wouldn't be a problem at all if they had just told me June from the start!Whew......sorry for all the ranting but I had to get that off my chest.....Bushy,that is GREAT news,I'm glad to hear one of our machines is on the way,I would imagine if all goes well you'll have it by the end of next week....that is as long as it still isn't "at the factory" /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

My dealer called me today before he left for home and said he hasn't had any luck finding out anything about my tractor. He has called numerous times with no definite answer on anything. He said The JD rep can't figure out why it's not in yet. Obviously these JD guys don't work together. The other reason he called is that they have one of those "strip down show and tell 110's" for a week. I can go try it if I want to. I'm not interested. I would prefer to have mine in the yard.

Joe,
I think that not going to try that one your dealer has is probably a good idea,because after you try it you'll just want yours that much more,I tried one out about 2 months ago and that makes waiting for mine that much harder.I wonder why the dealer,reps,and Deere itself can't all get on the same page, it really does not show that Deere "cares" about the "little guy",just tell your customers what the deal is and we can move on,hopefully they aren't jerkin' Bushy around and he'll get his this week,that hopefully means that there is light at the end of this long tunnel.

Well it's Memorial Day and the day I start planting my garden.
It might be late for some of you but up here in Maine it's about the right time. Well anyways I took a few minutes off and sat on my front steps. What to you think I saw going down the street? Yes sir just when I wasn't thinking about it.
A JD 110 being pulled on a trailer. It's not the one from Chad Little because they still have theirs, I checked Sunday. This just blows my mind. I don't inderstand what the h--l is going on. Why can't I get my tractor? My wife says it's not meant to be right now. I say something else that I can't repeat.

Fellas,
My salesman called me today and said he wanted me to hear something,so he went into his voicemail and played me a message from the Deere rep.....".....Tartaglia's 110 LB will be shipped later this week and should arrive at your dealership on Monday or Tuesday....." Man,I can only hope that this all holds true,if not you guys may be hearing about me on a national news broadcast.....".....and finally today,a man in the Connecticut area was found rocking back and forth and drooling at a local tractor dealer mumbling something about a 110 tlb and a JD conspiracy........."/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif Bushy,I can't believe you didn't call your dealer today,or drive there just to check,I hope you hear somethin' tomorrow,cause I'll be lookin foreward to seeing a new thread under "Owning/Operating" "Finally got my 110" Hope to hear something good soon and by the way,good luck on gettin' any sleep tonight!!

Must be you got your dealer a little concerned that he's playing you his voicemail! It's May 28th and no tractor yet but we started the paper work. Deere's interest rates are 8.9% if I finance over 25 thou and 9.9 % under. I did drive by this evening, hoping the operator's manual was hanging on the door. If the trucker left Friday I might be a little concern with his where abouts by now. He could be in Mexico by now! As far as a new thread how the dag blast do ya do that!

I am about to order a 110 myself, loaded like yours, probably from stanton equipment in East Windsor.
What is your phone number, I would like to talk to you about yours when you get it. my email address is kenkaplan@pcworldwide.com, I work in Manchester, CT.

Kenka,
I'm pretty sure Stanton equipment already has 3 110's so you could probably drive up there and pick one up,thats what I've heard anyway,but I also heard that they are early production machines and need the hydraulic pumps replaced because of a machining defect from the factory,again this is all hear-say so I can't confirm or deny it.I have heard only good things about Stanton and none bad so thats a good start!

I was up at stantons, they have two there, one is sold, one is a stripped demo unit.

I want to order it loaded with all the options, 4 in 1 bucket, thumb, box-blade, etc. etc.

I considered the L-48, or a larger tractor like the 5420 or 6000 series.

It seems to me this 110 is unmatched in flexibility and value for a multitude of applications. Kind of a swiss army knife of compact TLB or tractors......

Kenkaplan,
I was ready to seal the deal on an L48 about 4 months ago till I saw a small picture of the 110,nothing against Kubota they make a great product and I have owned a few of em,but the 110 makes the L48 look real klunky,as far as performance,I only had a chance to run a 110 for an hour or so months ago but first impressions were much smoother than an L48,and the 110 offers sooo many more options,the major downside to the whole thing is the wait,but its all ways neat to be the first kid on the block with a new toy /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

It's here. I Drove it. It's been here since Wed eve after they closed. Do you think that they would have called? I'm hot on the trail. I'll check in this evening. It is a big rig and a real looker. May 31,02 I got my baby home. It's not one thing like the equipment I am accustom to operating. It is a nimble machine, though I'm still grabbing for the shifter which there is not .The reverse pedal has an audible back up alarm which is helping to train me. A seven year old could operate this machine. More on that later. I'm still getting use to the new method. What else can I say. Bushy

Whew......does that guy sound pumped or what!!!!!Like alittle kid on Halloween that ate too much candy!!Thank god someone I know got their machine....congrats to you Bushy,looking foreward to many informative post on how she operates,now if I could only get mine.....................

 

[JoeReal]

Congratulations on your tractor. I hope it's everything you thought it would be. As for mine I haven't heard a word about when it would be in. I'm about ready to tell them to shove it. I know I can live without it. The thing may not come in for quite a while anyways. As you can tell I'm pretty p----d! Have fun with it and work the crap out of it.

 

[JoeReal]

Bushy, can you tell me what date you orderred your tractor
and which dealer you got it from. My dealer said he would try to find out how the orders are being shipped. As you probably can guess, I'm getting somewhat annoyed with the whole process. I'm stuck up here without a tractor just when I could realy use it. Thanks. Let us know how yours is running.
