FarmTrac Troubles

[jim_n_nh]

So it was you in the other timeout corner.

Well now,seems like the LS deal will have to wait a bit longer, Textron's dogs are barking through the fence again.plumb irritating and worthless.

I saw the post on having to wait a little longer for a Farmtrac solution.Why??
The solution appeared to be with the consent of all specially tex...
They have the highest at stake with the dealers under floor plan.
The way they have waited only tell us that they are far away from reality and are not well advised.
The offer as it appeared in the Tarboro paper appeared to be good.
What next????

My friend, I believe you have hit the proverbial nail on the head.Text**N is very far from reality and are getting lousy advise.the scuttlebutt is that they threw a last minute legal monkey wrench in the works. Supprising?? not if you happen to be a farmtrac dealer. we have known
for almost a year now that their bread was not quite done.what happens now?? who the heck knows.BON TEMPS ROULEA!!

What is tex...n aiming at.This was the best deal to happen to them,Tarboro town and a large no. of dealers and customers.
But the larger problem would be that Tex...n may have another potential problem in Montana if LS operates directly.Am i out of context ????

Whatever is the outcome hope it is fast.Wishing all Farmtrac dealers strength to fight this out.

just got a look at the court docs, absolutely no consideration given to farmtrac dealers,customers or less than zero victims by any of the parties involved in the tarboro shennangings.it's all about money, ethics and honesty are not part of the equatsions above the dealer level.but we'll hang in there, good people fight good fights. it ain't over until it's over.

I would like to put a question out here.
If another company buys Farmtracs assests but does not help the dealers with the big bad giant, does not honor past warranties and does nothing for the Less Then Zero customers will they get a following of new dealers and customers? I ask this honestly, most people tend to forget very quickly. What do think?
Case
My old dog is sitting on the seat of my case today, what does that mean?

CASE1570-I might do alot of things-but forget is not one of them. Why patronize a company that let me down once? Nope, won't happen for us.

PS: Dogs are smart-I think he is sending you a message!

Hey Red, I should have said that my old dog would usually rather eat your arm then give up his seat on his Farmtrac (just ask the Textron floor checker), but now he is back on the old case?
You did hit it on the head with your answer though, the only question is who is in deep s__t and whose neck is the water up to? Textron? Dealers? Customers? LS? Marrow? Gurkins?
Case
PS My dog is unavailable for comment at this time (he is worried that the big dog may take his food)

I think I want a puppy from that bloodline!!!!

Looks like everyone is busy waiting for the outcome of the final deal.
LS should be the winner.I expect it to be good for ls manufactured tractors.
Escorts tractors????
A shipment of parts was expected followed by even a bigger one.
Any idea where they have reached.

 

[tb8100]

Just curious, why is everyone censoring "Textron" in all their posts?

 

[case1570]

TEXTRON, TEXTRON, TEXTRON...... Sometimes a whisper will get more attention??????

Hello, all!

Sorry to be away for so long. Too long.

But don't be misled; Old Blue's nose is still to the ground, sniffing and digging.

I found the attached court document about Farmtrac North America's final auction and court proceedings. On the last paragraph on page 5, you'll find Farmtrac North America's final auction and court proceedings are slated for Monday morning.

My former boss, The Daily Southerner executive editor Terry Smith, wrote a short piece about it, too. Click here to read it.

An auction available to the general public will take place at the courthouse steps starting at 9:30am. Proceedings will follow in the courtroom at 10:00am.

The aforementioned steps are likely to be perfunctory measures, with all substancial business matters resolved by 5pm EST deadline today.

It would be interesting to see all who may be in attendance. The shortlist may include:
-- Textron Financial representatives and counsel,
-- the Receiver and his assistant Doug Gurkins
(Gurkins has a business/family interest as part of Country Boys auctioning service who has done past selling of FNA goods),
-- LS Cable representatives,
-- possibly Raleigh television station WRAL (the naves who largely missed the boat during their summer TV segment on Farmtrac).

Anyone plan to attend?

Look forward to hearing more from me in the near future.
Email me at bob_benedetti@hotmail.com or send me a PM.
I'll be awaiting your input.

Regards,
--b

Sounds and looks like the folks with India built tractors are going to left out in the cold. Or is that just me
