FarmTrac Troubles

[redneckford]

This writer is wagerer that any TFC official attempting to collect on Taxpayer by onsite visit best be ready for payment in ferrous metals: an ounce of lead at a time, delivered in numerous high-velocity installments!

Bet they can't even afford the gas to get to the "SITE" much less afford an ink pen to write up the observations!!!! Just send the bills to Bernie Madoff he's got the money to pay for it!!! Bet he trained at tex---? or a company like it!!! Send Blagojevich a check to do the negotiation's---this ain't politics this is business in louisiana----We admit it----some states lie about it!!!!---"Pay to play" Alabama calls it wining at all cost---look how much they paid for that football coach---those car manufactures----those steel mills---reckon someone will "loan" us enough money for gas for our boat ride---it could be a long one!!!! Looks like we will need a large boat to carry all that under performing weight---textron executives,auto executives etc----- Those with the gold make the golds----looks like the rules are changing someone lost alot of gold---or someone stole it? This PBJ sandwich sure is good!!!! we can use the grease off those fat cats to fry the shrimp!!

We have several lines that Textron floorplans that are not changing, this is not as far reaching as the press release would lead you to believe.

sucks for you guys though...?!?! what will you do?

 

[taxpayer]

So Taxpayer you going to write a check for your inventory so that you will own it all by yourself? Or maybe pay your bill in change-like pennies!

SESS, they said that if we signed up we would be partners in business, now if I paid them in even pennies I would be depriving them of their rightful share of the misery I got a boatload of.sure don't want to be unfair, gonna give them all they deserve. HEE<HEE

MessickFarmEqu, judging by the memos flowing across my desk I would be more worried about how you are going to finance Case products....................

How are the floor plan changes going to affect you?

Textron is the least of your worries.

we have someone who manages our floor plan, I'm not up on anything happening with Case. I actaully had to go ask about the whole Textron thing. Not my cup of tea.

heck i bet messicks floorplan manager just pays cash for all that inventory---if you own the company and the BANK??????----gotta be nice to only have to deal with yourself----bet in these times some people will not even loan money to themselves much less their husband!!!!! We all know who the real boss is in the family!!! But I always get the last word-----Yes mam!!!

Escorts shuts down US tractor unit-India Business-Business-The Times of India

This article (Nov 7, 2008) says that Escorts shut down Farmtrac, NA due to continuing weakness in the economy. If they didn't own it how did they shut it down?

I was actually looking for the article mentioning Escorts AgriMachinery that we found a while back the one that had an office in New York that turned out to be a pay phone in a restaurant near Radio City music Hall. I thought the newbys would enjoy that one!

Longtrman,

The Times of India has failed to respond to numerous e-mails, Web site postings and calls from me regarding their Nov. 7 news article on Farmtrac closing.

Not surprising -- and nothing short of gutless.

Jerking with this writer may have missed the "don't do" list Croce cited on "Don't mess around with Jim," but trust me, it'd behooves them cooperate.

Remember this: a thorn in the foot can render a lion helpless.
