FarmTrac Troubles

The parts are part of the deal and i do not see why Farmtrac dealers will not get the parts.
Parts should not be a big issue as there are companies who have started supplying parts.
The thinking point is ,What is Montana planning after the LS standoff.Maybe it is advantageous to all the dealers if they take Escort and LS comes directly???? maybe???

LS is the only one to even to show concern about dealers and customers to date.Montana had the oportunity to help, but declined unless you became a dealer for them, as far as escorts or Textron, I wouldn't trust those bloodsuckers on a dare.it seems pretty apparent who put the bucks up for the farmtrac buyout. and now according to court docs, they want to siphon off more than they are entittled to of the proceeds. just plain greedy. trust the indians?SAY WHAT???Heck, I just want my shrimp boat, me,Red,Blue and SESS going on a cruise!!

In this era of 'bail outs' this appears to be a fit case for a gov. bail out.
No, sir not for Textron,not for Escorts but for a bailout for all dealers and customers,let us atleast talk to our senators???
One more news,This company was sold by Long to escort for a lot less,(rumoured around 10mil).Now after selling of the barn business it fetched 14.1 mil.(has someone found a map to some hidden treasure??

Cop, I am sorry to say I see no relief or justice for the "less than zero" customers.this program was a scam from the beginning and the people at the upper level of FNA were and are less than honest, to put it mildly.I was fortunate to have a TM who was an honorable man and warned us that this was a bad program and advised us to stay away from it. we did so and consequentially had only one customer who insisted on getting it( even after we warned him against it) that got burned.many dealers were not so fortunate.I and I'm sure all my fellow farmtrac dealers are truley greived that our faithful customers were so badly abused, our main goal has always been to take care of our loyal customers and will be our goal in the future. but alas, foresight can never be as clear as hindsight.we can only hope that this terrible experience will cause us, both dealers and customers to be more vigilant in the future and for the dealer to provide you with a more secure buying experience.my pledge to you is that I will do everything in my power to see this industry changed to prevent this from happening again and that your position as the most important link in the chain is protected and valued as it should be.

Unfortunately when a company fails either through mismanagement or financial greed from executives that do not give a rats behind about people in general-the list of those that are SOL are many. From the customers, dealers, employees and even the town that supports the company all loose-and loose big time.

But there is a new tractor company coming to town and it has the world wide reputation of being honest, dependable and offering superior quality. What separates this company from others, is that it realizes without a loyal following of customers, employees and a dealer base to support their product they have nothing. I welcome them to the states and say "lets sell some tractors!".

There is indeed a new tractor co coming to town and from the data they are collecting from dealers and customers I believe they have every intention of providing top quality products and service to the dealer and customer alike for a fair competive market price.I am looking forward to seeing just what they have to offer.
