Combines 9690 Demo

[hv_user]

I think the JD dealer here is having big money problems and would not be surprised to see it close.This is not going to help there situation. Some other dealer might step in and keep it going.I think JD is making a big mistake with there dealers.They don't like them to take on other brands. This dealer took on Gleaner and had to put it in a nother place. There goes any cost savings or other people coming in the door.The only way dealers can servive is more brands under one roof. JD thinks there so special there dealers should need to do this.

Which dealer brought the demoIJ

 

[northernfarmer]

Eastside Ag, out of Yorkton Sk. It was running with a JD 9610, Not a fair comparison as they were doing barley the first day and oats on the second day. That Massey sure out chewed the Deere. Neil

Couldnt get our agco dealer to bring thier demo out. So I guess we will go with the 2388.

Thats a shame, where are U locatedIJ U would think that a dealer would try to get the word out about a new product. I've talked to a few dealers about used 8780s, the conversation always gets around to the new machines. They all are very excited about the sales potential with these machines, so they are doing alot of demos, and in some cases those are translating into sales. What is your dealer's problemIJ Neil

Are you the Neil with Eagle HarvestingIJ

 

[northernfarmer]

No: often thought it would be interesting to go on a harvest run. But family comes first, farm second, Neil last.
