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 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!
