What a load of bs. You know one other thing I never understood about AGCO is their lettering system after the number. Look at the RT 155 A in the that youtube video. Looks like someones 6 year old wanted to put on an A on it.

I wonder how many will get redone into Challengers and MF to get them sold?

Is that AGCO's own youtube account? Usually companies down't allow comments. Too risky for negative feedback.< id="gwProxy" ="">< ="jsCall;" id="jsProxy" ="">

Translation: We have a bunch of orange tractors that aren't selling now because people are jumping ship. Lets put a sticker on it and give the a medallion so they'll buy. Oh yeah, cause we're honoring our legacy by ditching it. When they said they were dropping orange they said they were going to have an aggressive customer retention program...this must be it??? -sarcasm here

I actually love the medallion. I think Legacy Series is just fine for a name instead of Heritage series. But I still don't get them dropping orange.

Legacy edition? WTF?! The orange will always live longer than red or yellow. Guess Crain & Co will have to learn the hard way.

I've tried to leave comments on the youtube thing a couple of different times but, I must be blocked or something. I had was able to comment a while back about some of the Massey Furguesan hay equipment should have been painted orange and labeled AGCO, they must have blocked me now???

I am not sure they can block anyone individually. Are you sure you are logged into your youtube account?

I think that Bill Hurley feller came from Deere and company. I am sure he has no understanding of the loyalty to the orange brand, and obviously doesn't care.
