satellite image of the Gleaner factory in Hesston, KS...
You can see a few yellow ones (cat lexion) in the parking lot too, if you check other satellite services.
Don't feel too bad about it. do a google map search for westlawn memorial cemetery in grand island Nebraska. look directly south of the cemetery and you see hundreds of red and yellow NH and IH combines, with hundreds of red and yellow SP stackliner hay wagons, and NH and IH SP windrowers.
Case IH merged with New Holland, and they said, "this won't affect anything, you can still buy New Holland machinery, and you can still buy Case IH machinery." What they didn't say was that the machines would be identical, but with different stickers and cosmetics. It's like owning a Mercury Sable and a Ford Taurus. Sure they are different... Just not by much. hahaha
You can also google map search Fargo, ND and it won't take you long to find the factory with all the red and blue articulated 4wd tractors. The funny thing is, Steiger built the FW 4wd for Ford, then Ford New Holland dropped them and went with Versatile, and Case IH picked up Steiger. Now that they merged, Versatile was sold to prevent a Monopoly, and they chose to stay with Steiger. It's like coming full circle for New Holland.
Although, as an owner of a Versatile New Holland Genesis tractor, I must say that Versatile makes a great tractor, possibly the best tractors produced with a Ford name (starting in 1994) and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.
I should put a list of addresses together for factories and post the list, incase anyone wants to do a satellite tour of all the factories. I have been to many of them. I can not wait to visit more.
