On Agweb there was a brief note to say that Agco is expanding the plant in MN where Challenger and Rogator equipment is built to build more equipment lines. I wonder if they plan on starting to build tractors there again. I belief the Hesston plant already builds all the harvest equipment.

Agco announced they will be building high horsepower tractors there in a new addition.

Production slated to begin probably next year or thereabouts.

I just got back from the dealer meeting and they are expanding the plant to begin production for MF 8600 and CH MT600C Series tractors with plans to start by year end. Also said in future would probably move some of the other tractor production there for North American market.
