I have 10 JD dealers within an hour, 5 Case-IH dealers within an hour, and 2 Agco dealers within an hour. If you want to break that down into dealership networks, that is 3 John Deere dealership networks, 2 Case IH dealership networks and an independent dealership, and 2 Agco dealerships, which remain independent from one another, and I think there might be 1 New Holland dealership. I remember when a long-time friend of my grandfather lost his IH dealership in my hometown back in the mid-1970's. The farm crisis of the 1980's reduced the JD dealership saturation down to about 1 dealership per county. I believe we are experiencing another "shakeout" in which these large networks of dealers are growing in overall size and trade territory, while phasing out their least profitable storefront dealerships within the network. I have seen firsthand these dealership networks get rather arrogant in their degree of pricing, service, and customer relations. I find this to especially be the case when all you buy is used equipment and happen to be a "small potatoes" customer. So continues the "Wal-martization" of America.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
