Starting off with incorrect "facts" does nothing to validate your opinion.
"Fiat group"? Fiat has NOTHING to do with AGCO. Fiat has an ownership stake in CNH (Case IH, New Holland) AGCO is a US owned entity.
AGCO parts prices aren't any more expensive than any other major manufacturer, nor are they any less expensive as a rule.
That said, "Fiat Group" as you call it, CNH as they're actually known, is just as costly, if not more so than Deere. Not to mention they cannot match Deere on parts availability, nor on quick parts service. When push comes to shove, NO ONE can match Deere for quick parts availability. NO ONE. If you're in business with your equipment, slow turn around equals money.
For the record, I bought a set of brake shoes for a Kubota I owned from the same vendor as was mentioned in the original post. First time I really clamped down on the brakes, the lining removed itself from the shoe. You buy low quality junk and you can expect to pay less, but you get what you (don't) pay for.
It's real simple folks. If you don't like Deere prices and the way they operate, buy an inferior product. If owning and operating junk is your way of life, buy something else. IMHO, buying low quality junk is NEVER cheap in the long run.
