I can't speak to other parts of the US but here everybody but the AGCO dealers and a small handful of others are multiple location operations. I won't mention the name of the outfit but there is a certain CaseIH dealer that is a Goliath here and it worries me for the reasons discussed here in the last day and change. I would assume the laws of economics and scale apply to farm equipment dealers and wonder how these small dealers and independents make a go of it. My neighbor tried buying a new NH baler a few years ago from an independent and was flabbergasted at the price difference between that dealer and the chain outfit. The independent told him he was doing the best possible but the chain outfit gets a break from NH for quantity orders on equipment. Not surprising but it does not indicate a bright future for that small independent. I wonder if the AGCO guys go in with each other on certain things like oil to get the volume breaks they need to compete and they normally do not have territory issues.
