Place I work ordered 4 KTwo trailers for March delivery... 1 turned up last week with a letter saying we’d not see the other 3 until November... deal has been done and finance has started so no going back now... but fabricator we use was telling me the other day 9 months ago when they put the order in steel was about £1000 a ton... by the time they build our trailers I’m guessing in October it will be £1700-2000 a ton... wonder if they’re going too stand the loss on material costs or try and renegotiate the deal? 🤷🏻‍♂️

We got a call yesterday to say there's been a mix up and they've given our build slot away to someone else :rolleyes: That's for 2 trailers that should have been built by now.

NH t8 covid was the issue someone, the US factory seem to struggle more than basildon

local nh dealer tells me the t7,8,9 and equivalent red ones are sold out for the forseable future. They don’t know when they would get one in. Best guess is mid next year.
Combines the same. Apparently they won’t get 4 that are already sold in time for harvest this year

Short sightedness and greed have closed a lot of industry and local manufacturing down.

There's a better deal to be had offshore, you can't see the smoke and environmental impact of a factory in Guangzhou or Bangalore, it must be clean and green. Nevermind the slave labour and atrocious working conditions....

Sorry, going a bit off topic now.

Am into the 5th week waiting for a rear hub to turn up for a mitsubishi, don't think it's as much a supply issue but it seems to be stuck in transport limbo somewhere. Real p.i.t.a as can't drive it either as its the ring for the abs sensor that is gone and doing funny things wit 4wd n what not, 28th is the latest (and 3rd) supposed date for arrival...
Thornton breakers. May have one

tell them there’s been a mix up you’re end and you’ve given the order to someone else
They’d love that! Steel nearly doubled in price, they must be taking a massive loss on orders that had been placed 12 months ago so if somebody cancels orders it’ll be a massive sigh of relief !
