Well I am gald that you got the Wife happy and mowing again. LOL
I still do not know why the local dealership is having so much trouble over just ordering a deck. One thing I do know is different JD branches handle things just a little bit differently. Since your last post I had a friend at a local dealership do some looking at the number/bundle you needed. Yes the factory shows that bundle in inventory, kind of. LOL I think they are building them right now. Because if you look they show it in stock but show a delivery date of 3-4 weeks out. So I think the factory has a glitch in their inventory system right now. I called an old friend at Horicon Wi. He still works at the factory there. He knows a fellow in the warehouse. There are no decks in inventory there, but the computer shows that there should be. LOL All they can figure is that they are in the current build schedule and are being build ASAP.
As for looking at the national dealership inventory. IF you have high enough clearance you can look at what other dealerships have in new inventory. This clearance is set by the dealership. This is one area that is very dealership/chain dependent. The BIG chains around here do not let the individual stores order any new whole goods directly. It is all handled by the MAIN store personal. So even local store sales managers could have a very limited access to the national system because of how the main branch has things set up. While this would drive me nuts, as I was used to handling things directly with JD, I can understand why the BIG chains have done this. Example: The dealership around me has 10 locations. IF they had it set up to where each store ordered their own stuff they would have ten people ordering stuff. With it all in the main store they can control what is being ordered better. Mainly to make sure that all the correct programs/discounts are being used. Also to keep stores from just ordering stuff that may well be already in another store.
There are still hard feeling between many stores at times over things. This is caused by how the owners think it is all one big happy family. It is not. You bust your butt and get a good trade-in. Lets say it is a the right price or just in super condition and in high demand. You have to enter it into the inventory program. Before you even get to show it to your own customers some other store's salesman cherry picks it selling it to someone. One local store has salesman that always has full market value in his trades. So his trade-in set on the lot for a LONG time. I know of times he sells some thing like a grain head. He has one at the local store but he has a LOT of money in it. He will sell one from another store just because they have less money in it. So far the upper management has been letting him get away with it.
These type of games/issues is one of the BIG reasons I did not go to another dealership and keep selling. It just is not fun to have to deal with all the politics at JD and the dealership chains. Then you add in the BTO attitude of many farmers and your getting hammered from both sides. Too much BS for me to deal with at my age.
