I fear that what made them is what will bring them down. That being their dealer network. They had a dealer in every little town. And you didn't have to go to the one nearest your farm,there were so many that you could drive right past one and go to another one a few miles away,and a lot of farmers did. The powers that be think the religious worship of a brand will sustain their new business model. They see customers leaving as switching religion. It's just changing churches by going to another brand. Do you all go to the nearest church or do you drive past it and go to the one that suits you? The choice has been taken away now by the mega store,one name on 16 locations mentality. I realize other brands have done the same thing in some areas,but with Deere,it's systematic and apparently,worldwide. The worst thing in the world to do to a farmer is tell us to take it or leave it and ask where else we're going to go? It might work once or twice,but when it's constant,and coming from somebody younger who hasn't been on the job very long,it's a sign of disrespect and we'll walk. Like has already been said,it's not like they ever had a superior product,they just had dealers.
