Massey equivalent Agco

[777777]

Hi,

Yes, you really have to kind of work at it to dig them out of the woodwork.

Not heavily pushed at all and is a shame. Hear alot of good things about them from people that have them but hard to really find people that have them.

Thanks for everyone's help and have a great evening.

Tom

The answer is both to some extent. Older dealers that have been Ag only, seem to have a very hard time accepting compact tractors. Given the sales volume that compacts have seen in the last few years it doesn't make much sense. Looks like they would be glad to pickup the extra sales, but some seem to be stuck in a later time. As far as marketing goes, AGCO/MF has never been very good at advertising. In this day and time, it is necessary. Looks like that they would open up their eyes and see that. They have many very good products but they need to present them to the public in a much different way than what they currently do.

I totally agree. We bought a MF baler from a CaseIH dealer a couple of years ago. He sold both Case & Kubota compacts. He told us that the sub/compacts and small utility tractors kept him in business during the beef ban. Otherwise he would have had to close his doors. I love MF, always have. They need to advertise more to get the people unfamiliar with them to take notice of their products. Look at what the spin doctors have done for JD.
