Wait on new rig. 2601.

[Lilguy]

Put a deposit on a B2601 TLB set up and have been waiting almost a month now because there are no BH70 units in that distribution network. There were early in the spring but nothing now. Has gone from 3 weeks to 6 now with nothing guaranteed. Is this the norm when KUBOTA runs dry on something. Had my previous KUBOTA's 30+ years with no issues. Hope parts availablility isn't an issue in this era.
What about a Woods backhoe, anyone have experience with them?

Spring is the highest tractor order time I believe so there is often a wait depending on what is available. The Woods backhoes have received good reviews although I would stick with Kubota for future warrantee support Etc.

The entire South had no winter, so spring rush started in February rather than April.

It is not just Kubota. It is almost all tractor suppliers.

You are buying at the hottest season. So you may have to wait longer. Stick with OEM backhoe.

If you were near Rochester/Buffalo NY, the dealer I bought my 2601 had one with the backhoe on it when I got mine 3 weeks ago.

I'm still waiting after ordering in late March, 2 small brackets for the backhoe are on back order, very frustrating but I did get $500 towards a thumb for having to wait. All in all I would rather just have the backhoe. I just had them deliver tractor without the backhoe, I got tired of waiting.
