Combines CR TR

JD

TR, Just pure speculation on my part but, I really doubt that in a few years there will be any yellow NH paint being turned outIJ My local NH dealer who never dealt the combines has retired, something about him coming down TGitis or somethingIJ Another dealer west of me has 2 stores that I just met up with. They also are AGCO dealers, one of his stores never dealt the combines either. That store just dropped it's NH line, seems they contracted a severe case of CRaphobiaIJ The other store that sold the Genesis has yet to sell a TG, they have sold a couple of MF 8280's(if that's the correct modeln) in the past few weeks. They where their first large MF tractor sales I was toldIJ I realize this is a just a small area I'm using for my analysis but still, it represents a sentiment being expressed against all this change for the better(IJ) NH has implemented in the last few years. Case and NH now are almost one in the same product, they are built on the same lines in the same plants. like you said in your post, what really matters is "Who sells the mostIJ" rightIJ SO, what do you get when you subtract the lesser of the 2IJ JD

Dealer support is another thing I could throw in here. SW Kansas is an example. There is one NH dealer, two CASE dealer left and one CAT dealer. In that same area are at least EIGHT JD dealers. I am talking of an area of roughly 100 by 100 miles. And the CASE dealers keep closing their doors in our state.
