The talk I had heard a few years ago was that once the commodities boom was over CNH was going to streamline things in terms of products and dealers. Here in New York we have two large dealer organizations carrying a heavy overlap of products in the same territory. Given the slump that dairy and grains are in there is great pressure on each organization to survive with only enough business for one.
Kubota was the talk several years ago to buy CNH but in the mean time has bought Kverneland and Great Plains to name a couple of companies. How useful is CNH going to be to Kubota? It used to be sacrilegious to say a company could exist without building box/beater type manure spreaders, 2 row pull type forage harvester, and 14X18 inch small square balers but those products are not very relevant to today's purchasing farmers. Kubota has Tractors, hay equipment, and tillage plus planting equipment with needing a combine the biggest issue. Do they work with Claas or do they buy the combine production away from CNH? Dealer representation was important back in 1984 when Case bought IH in terms of having a dealer every 20 miles here in NY. Kubota would have plenty of dealers as it stands here in NY and a number were old hands at IH, White, or some other line that was relevant to most farmers.
