40 Years ago there was that I remember... 1) JD 6 miles away 2) New Holland & Ford (Same Outlet) 13 miles 3) AC 14 miles 4) IH 14 miles 5) White/Oliver 14 miles
ALL OF THEM GONE! Nothing replaced them.
Now from the same home its... 1) JD 30 miles (was 35) 2) Case IH 40+ miles 3) Agco 60+ miles (I think) 4) Mahindra 32 miles 5) Kioti 31 miles 6) Kubota 40 miles 7) Zetor 40+ miles
From everything I have heard about the big players in this game C-IH, JD, Agco. They are wanting fewer dealers. They think its better to put up with one customer who has 20 outlets, & they certainly don't want more competition!!! I have seen posts on this very website complaining about how JD Corporate has been treating peoples small dealerships, & then posts about the end for those dealers had come, & they closed! Its always been a dog eat dog world; but now we have to pay terribly high prices for these mergers, & buyouts, & then the competition disappears, & if You don't like the way these dealers do business; they say "GO SOMEHWERE ELSE THEN" Now You may have to drive farther, & get the same ridiculous service because they know You are stuck too! Its sad; but not likely to get better!
The one JD dealer that moved closer to me closed a dealership that had theft problems, & built a new facility with police often near when I drive by!

I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
