There was a small manufacturer here who said the same thing about the big operations quite a few years ago. The owner said some of the dealers around were all excited about the possibility of selling big units to big producers. They made wagons and feeding equipment and sold direct to farmers with no outside dealers. In the 60's and 70's they were thriving. The BTOs put them out of business. Without those smaller producers buying a lot of smaller low priced items from them,they had to close. Simple as that. I don't know how it is where you are,but Deere still doesn't corner the market here in hay and forage. The BTOs run Class choppers,New Holland and Hesston have a good chunk of the market on the rest of the hay tools. If it's that way all over,with grain prices crashing and the livestock guys riding high right now,these Deeremarts had better baton down the hatches and get ready for a rough ride because it's the dealers of those other brands who are going to be making the sales for as long as this cycle lasts.
