I'd say, if their lucky, they've got a few days left before everyone jumps ship. I'm working on my tractor spreadsheet for other brands already. I'd be at the dealers by now but have other commitments

DEAD HORSE! Quit beating it! They will not change their plans at all, but you will get a lot of jawboning, if that's what you like.

Your absolutly right. Its over guys. IL Gleaner told you that a few days ago. We'll always have the memories but its a new day. Were down to green now. Case new holland ford ih is now all fiat. If you want to buy american you got to go green. We'll still keep a couple 8000 series but Agco is gonna be little more than a forign tractor broker for cat and massey. as far as I'm concerd massey couldnt build a good tractor when times were good.

Tominpa. I am not sure why you are knocking Massey so hard when it is identical to an Agco. I am not sure how you can say Orange Agcos are good and Massey's are bad when the only difference is paint.

I agree Brett that Dealer is also another factor. Assuming dealers for both are good, the only difference is paint. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see orange go away but it riles me up when people say Massey is a pos compared to an Agco.

Hey Spud, I understand as I was once an AGCO backer, until oh what about a week. But what's your story? You own orange AGCO tractors? You a dealer? You own AGCO stock?

The only way to change AGCOs mind is money. You want AGCO to make orange tractors, buy new AGCO tractors. The more they sell the more money they make. Dealers sell sell sell. Our AGCO dealer just waits for customers to walk in the door. No ads, fairs or open houses.

Hello Byron:
2 deutz allis tractors, 1 massey tractor, 1 new idea baler, 1 new idea manure spreader.
I like having an alternative to CNH and Deere.

it is not going to do any good to voice there mind is made up but is what gets me is there big promotion of the new tractor series and the infamous commercials og agco "long live the family farm" and the orange tshirts that is a bunch of bs and in 2 years quit that color the ceo has his head so far up there it has came back out and that is all he knows that is an automated email response i give them at most 5 years after this and there wont be any northamerican agco sales at all hardly i know of dealers already not ordering the equipment they usually ordered to keep on the lot to sell but arent cus of the wrong color

I have AGCO and Massey. I like them both for different reasons. My brother has JDs and a 6080 allis and kubota4x4 loader tractor. I like the quad trans. in the jds (8510 & 7510) both 4x4s. I like the cab on the agco and massey better.( the hyd. controls & visibility) The perkins in the massey sips fuel more than the cummins in the agco. The jds are thisty. It will be a sad day if the only orange is the kubota!
