lorenzo 13,995 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I think it’s more like the production numbers are way down from what I’m being told there’s nobody at the factory To build them because a virus with a 99% recovery rate has completely crippled the United States economy 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At that time the dealer in town told him that there was a 6 month lead time for anything ordered from factory. I am assuming the lead time has only increased at this point. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SASW6 75 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Good friend and his son both have Polaris dealerships my buddy said that Polaris cant get the parts to build the UTV's fast enough they both had recard years in sails as soon as they could get them they were gone same with boats he sold a crazy number of new boats the other day I was there the boat show room was empty it holds about 25 boats he said next year he said he probably won't have much of anything for sails. Will be interesting to see how they do with there snowmobile sails this winter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bkorth 282 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Can't even get repair parts, mine has been in the shop for 7 weeks and the shop is 60 miles from the factory, what a joke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cdfarabaugh 345 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 When I went to the Deere dealer to get parts back in June, I noticed ALL of the compacts that were swarming the place were gone. Go up to the parts counter and expected a vandalism problem or something of that nature for why they were moved. Nope, SOLD them all. Glad to see stimulus money being wisely spent......

Cattech 849 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Stimulus checks + people not spending money on annual vacations and/or eating out at restaurants + low interest rates, combined with shut down manufacturing.... And then everyone trying to amuse themselves outdoors while avoiding social contact. Yup, there was no predicting inventory needs this year. Think I'm going to put off a new sled until next year. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cattech 849 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Sad thing, there's probably going to be a pile of repossessed & for sale stuff out there in the near future... All sorts of people bought these things thinking life would be back to normal by now, soon to find themselves laid off when the economy corrects itself. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would say the same thing in ANY area where the oilfield was once 'booming', which went to h3ll long before the covid panic came about. I would also say that if a person were looking for a generator set, or power unit, there should be more than a few for sale, although they will probably go at auction, from defunct, or hard hit, drilling contractors.

searcyfarms 2,508 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 i blame the stimulus and fear for 90% of all the short supplies and elevated costs - people sitting home drawing more than when working and others afraid to go to work or work extra or not allowed - things all shut down when they could have kept going, this is going to play out the same way it always was - just later due to the isolation we started with and people got tired of it and are back to engaging - we wont have a vaccine before the majority of this rolls thru the population so why bother - im done with it all - gods will be done, im either gonna live or die its a 50 50 shot - he knows best i sure dont 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zleinenbach 747 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 IMO I think it’s going to to take some companies the courage to break against the mob to get anything to move. Right now everyone is so scared to be boycotted that nothing will happen. also imo I think business owners will start to get irritated giving two week leaves to people who may have been in contact with a positive person. not trying to start anything just saying 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

495man 57 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 It's the people that would spend money flying and travelling on "vacation" and since they couldn't do it....they bought outdoor toys to use at home. Lumber has about doubled here....everyone stayed home spending money on decks! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TP from Central PA 3,167 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Fauci............****ing ***hole under constant ignorance................If Trump wins on the 3rd, the good doctor should be told to leave at 9 AM on the 4th and not let the door hit him on the bung hole on the way out.

Refrigerators and freezers are a joke, most of my orders are being pushed to Feb of 21.

Exactly the same up here the idiots running federal put out a second read on the problems we’re facing heading into winter, the whole spiel is gobblygook, almost like ideas being drawn from first around stuff that didn’t make sense either, some of the reporting and columnist types are starting to ask very impertinent questions, about ducking time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No benefits!!! I actually transport used cars in and out of auctions here in Arkansas. Used prices are really high as well because of all this extra money!! Also the economy was so good the last three years that most people were keeping their old rigs for kids and buying new. So the used market was low inventory do high prices. Can't haul new stuff because of slow production. No workers. That's what is going on in my section of the world.😃Jesse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
