Tractor surveys

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   As of the time I'm posting this, I saw on YT they have a survey going on what brand of tractor did your family use. A-C is WAY out in front with 53152 votes or 54% of the total votes. IH is a DISTANT second with only 24321 votes or 24%. The icing on the cake is JD is currently loosing to Oliver in 4th and MM in 5th.

What do you all think about that?

	My family farm used Allis-Chalmers and John Deere, and a few Farmalls. Still use both today. I can't settle on one brand of tractor b/c I love Allis-Chalmers and John Deere, both great tractors in my eyes. I have a 1944 John Deere A and a 1957 Allis-Chalmers WD45. My dad has a 1937 John Deere A, 1948 John Deere A, 1948 B Allis Chalmers, 1949 Farmall Cub, and is going to buy a 504 Farmall Monday. Im not one of those people that say "My brand tractor is better than yours". Just makes no sence to be that way. For the most part they are all good tractors. Every brand has one of those tractors that was always a nightmare.

	I think a certain person set up a script which beat the crap out of the voting. I wonder who would think of something like that?

	Perhaps the John Deere owners are too busy fixing their tractors to vote...... Brian

	As I recall that happened a few years ago, there was a concerted effort to vote early and vote often Chicago style. And, as Glenn mentioned, someone figured out how to vote electronically. Allis Chalmers is the best, always has been, always will be. LOL

	Send this to Agco. One has to wonder when they will realise they made a mistake by dropping orange.

	I think a tremendous number of the working people at AGCO know that there has been an awful mistake made, but no one can convince Richenhagen. He is going to stubbornly hold his ground no matter what. He should have done some reading on the history of AC before making such an idiotic move. There are some great books out there, most of them with pictures. At least he could look at the pictures if he doesn't want to be bothered with details like reading. Or facts. Many of the people that had been loyal to AGCO products have moved on. There is no way they will trust a company that pulls the rug out from under them. At this point the chances of them saving their image is minimal. I must admit that I am pleased with the work they are doing with the Gleaner combines and the transverse rotor. Some one must have found a way to circumvent Marty. I am sure he has no understanding of the importance of Gleaner to many US farmers.
	If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done!
