ChesapeakeMarine said:Kind of makes you wonder if Farmtrac/Escorts could go belly up what could happen with other 2nd tier companies like Montana, Kioti, Mahindra and TYM. Although I think Mahindra will be ok in the long run possibly becoming the largest tractor company in the world someday in the not so distant future. From what I have read here Farmtrac put out some very good tractors and so does Kioti, Montana, Mahindra. I'm sure the customers who bought a Farmtrac didn't think the company would shut the doors anytime soon. Makes you think hard about buying a tractor from another 2nd tier tractor builder. Especially with the economy possibly heading south for a while.

Even with Farmtracs current state I would not be scared of buying one, in fact I am talking to one of the dealers on here about buying one. If things work out I will be the proud owner of a Farmtrac 7 series in the future (if a real good deal comes along I might get a 2wd 5 series also to replace my Ford 640). Look at it like buying a great used tractor if you can buy it at a discount. If you buy a used tractor you don't normally get a warranty and with these Farmtrac tractors you know you are getting a great tractor at a great price. Just do your homework so you know where to get parts from and you are fine.
