Quality Farm and Fleet and Central Tractor decided to
merger. Quality did not take over Central, was a merger.
And corperate decided to get rid of the best parts of both
stores and decided to keep the worst parts. Poor management
was their downfall. I knew months before the general
population knew anything about what was going to happen.
Late wife was in management at Central so She did get a lot
of information the general public never did get. After
destroying both companys with poor management desisions the
company had to file bankruptcy but before that happened the
owners of Central parts split off their used parts
bussibess so it was not a part of the bankruptcy. So it was
safe for a while. I do not know if it is still in operation
or not. When it cot to the bankrupcy court that is where
everything fell apart.The orignal owners of Central tractor
tried to buy it back out of the bankruptcy but could only
come up a few thousand dollars short of what TSC offered
anf the judge decided those few creditors was worth more
than the jobs of all emplowes and the value to the
customers were worth so the Judge sold it to TSC. My late
Wife was in manergy training for Central when they merged
and had not yet got the final papoer work done to become a
full manager and she was to be asigned a manager position
that would have ment we would have been moving from my farm
here in Ohio to Georgia. Lucky for us that final paper work
had not been completed. The CT store she was second in
management was 47 mile from so when things got worse she
was able to transfer to Q & F that was 8 mile from home..
She new what was comming so she had got an aplication from
Lowes and filled it out but had not turned it in as it
looked at that tile like CT and Q & F might survive. When
things got close and the other employes had no idea they
were about to loose their jobs she got out that aplication
and just changed the date on it and turned it in. Within
too days She was working For Lowes in a department manager
position and was with Lowes for 15 years untill She passed
away from a heart atack in March of 2015.
So I do know more of what went on than the general public
will ever know. The bankruptcy court is why we no longer
have a CT or Q & F.Not market conditions. In Her training
position she was sent to Georga to help hire employs for
some new stores they were getting ready to open but neve
did.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on ... [Read Article]
