The article did not mention anything relative to parts. I would assume if a part can be made and sold at a reasonable profit it will continue to be available. The philosophy has changed from what it was years ago to drive farmers into new equipment purchases. The bigger issue in my mind will be disruption of the dealer network. As I stated below I am expecting two dealers to close and my estimate is probably on the low side. The place I like to deal with if closed will also mean losing access to the personnel working there. I would like to think the survivors would scoop up some of these experienced people but there are no assurances on this. Sometimes the books can't tell you enough on doing a repair or making sure you order all the correct parts. My fear is the older established dealer will be replaced by someone who will address the more immediate need of AGCO to put new product on the lot. The dealers are just too close to each other here in Western NY to expect them all to survive. Some in spite of being good to the customer have had to rely a lot on shortlines and other means to keep the doors open. I'm thinking the ones that will sign for the most equipment initially will stay while everybody else is eliminated.
