Sometimes you get lucky

[jyoutz]

I was on a waiting list for a Kubota MX HST tractor with about 5 different dealers; all told me not to expect anything for a least 9 months. Yesterday I was called by a dealer in an adjacent state; they have a MX6000 that someone ordered and declined to buy. I’m the lucky one who will take delivery in a few weeks.

Good for you. & good luck with the purchase. Pics when it gets delivered or it didn't happen.

Man, how nice to hear good news. Congratulations - I'll bet you were smiling yesterday. In these times, that is like a 1 in a million phone call. On a side note, I ordered a back entrance door for our house. Ordered it July 17. ETA 9/17. Now ETA12/10. Still waiting. For that phone call. Ha.

I hear you. 9 months waiting on an ABS controller for my truck with no delivery date in sight ... "GM National backorder"

1 year waiting for a refrigerator due to size limits. Have not even restarted making this model yet as more profitable ones are still back ordered. Maybe next year....
Or I will have to redo a whole kitchen wall to accommodate a wider unit ($$$$)

Appliances are more like a wish list rather than a order list. The days of the $600 single door are almost gone and have given way to the $3000 double door ( with may things you don't need or want). And they are BIG. Hope you get what you need soon.

Last year when truck shopping I wondered if it would be better to wait until the supply chain opened up again.
I sure am glad that I didn't.

I'm looking forward to pictures when the OP's tractor come in... provided that he isn't too busy working it.

Good snag!

Will be delivered around the end of the month. Can’t wait. I bought a 6’ rotary cutter with it, but they had no rear blades in stock. I’ll have to get through the winter plowing snow with the undersized 5 foot blade that I currently have. Not ideal, but the heavy duty 7’ blade that I want isn’t in stock anywhere. On order of course.

I will post photos. It’s going to be delivered on Wednesday.

Very nice tractor indeed

Well it arrived today. Christmas came early. MX6000 with loader, canopy, 6’ rotary cutter, and 4000# pallet forks. Also rear tires loaded with bio-ballast and chain hooks welded to bucket. The 7’ offset rear blade is back ordered. Sure is nice.

Oh wow. We are just miles apart. I’m south of highway 344 on the east/west section. Howdy neighbor!
