Software system upgrades/changeovers never go smooth.
The software company always tells you it will be fine and nobody on the receiving end ever plans enough time for the eventual issues.

Seems every company, every time they upgrade software gets burned and they are still caught off guard.....Its the definition of insanity!

When I was selling tractors in AZ, I actually picked up new tractors at dealers in Las Vegas and Albuquerque at different times. Was quicker than waiting for Kubota to ship one in.

Dang. I was hoping you forgot about this thread and were enjoying your tractor already.
Good time to pre order hooks, block heater, and a seat switch bypass? Idk, I'm trying to come up with positive things to say.

I think it's a smart and realistic approach on Kioti's part. In 1999, Hershey switched their ERP system over to SAP. The conversion wasn't successful and they couldn't ship any chocolate for halloween. Probably their biggest month of the year. They should have waited until after Christmas to do it. If they missed Valentines Day, not a big deal. Ladies love the Whitman's Sampler anyway.

"The case of Hershey's failed implementation serves as a cautionary tale, illustrating the potential risks and consequences of inadequate planning, poor execution, and underestimation of the complexities involved in integrating such systems into existing business operations. The failure caused substantial disruptions in Hershey's supply chain, leading to missed shipments, lost sales, and a decrease inmarket share, ultimately resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue and damage to the company's reputation." -Skylar Haskiell UVA 2024

The local NH dealer here also sells Kioti. Drove past yesterday, dealer has 2 or 3 NH blue tractors but
a boat load of Kioti tractors sitting in the front row. So, they're shipping them somewhere.
