Parts availability... How is everyone finding it?

How is everyone finding parts availability at the moment?

 

Still pretty shocking I think considering we are past corvid. 

 

I've had good experiences with a few firms, Kubota is easy enough to get things for, vermeer has always been good and Greenmech has been awesome. Predator has been good.

 

Bloody yanks ( I know vermeer are) seem bloody useless... I still think they are asleep.... have to wait weeks for parts if not months and then prices are just shooting up. 

 

Currently run a old bandit and like it, but not sure if I want to buy another due to parts

 

How do folk get on running these bandits when going for parts etc?

 

How have others got on with other manufacturors?

It seems random. I can get a new pull cord next day but it's a 6 month wait for bars and chains are out of stock.

 

New machinery is the worst. Most stuff is 6-18 months from order.
