I went to the NFS in Louisville on friday and saturday I put 24 oranges through out the AGCO Massey and challenger displays all of them were picked up within 30 min, I mean every single one and I put them in spots you had to get on your hands and knees to get them, it was a fullfiling site but when I circled around to take picks they were all Gone so no pics, sorry guys I tried, But they got the message from me, my dad had to pull me away when I was taling to an AGCO rep it was getting petty HEATED |

Wow! That's really cool you did that. I was wondering myself where you could put an orange where they wouldn't see it and pull it off and it seems like you pretty much tried that. I'm 6'5" though maybe I can put one up high?

Good for you. They must of had a hidden camera on you when you planted the oranges. I heard security at AGCO was raised to Orange! Go figure?! Anyway, really appreciate you sharing your story. Thanks!

Should've put a couple oranges in the exhaust of the equipment and poured some orange juice in the crank case, hydraulics, transmission, and rear end lol. Wonder if they'd get a message then?

I have been thinking on this for a while now. I am happy for all of you that have gone with the "orange finger". It does show AGCO just how much we resent their decision. On the other hand, how many remember the Chamberland that was just restored and posted on here in the past month. It kind of made me wistful in an odd way. We are all devoted to orange and even as some have mentioned even Kubota looks good to us. That being said, none of them are Allis Chalmers. Personally, I doubt there ever will be another Allis Chalmers. Even detesting AGCO's decision to drop the AGCO orange, they were not Allis Chalmers and I doubt if they ever would have been should they have remained in production. I have decided to enjoy my Allis's and let AGCO go out the same way they came in. God Bless.

I'd like to keep the Gleaner going at least. That is from old Allis Chalmers.
