Highway sightings...loads of New Holland tractors headed South

[Slacker]

Been on Hwy 85 and 95 in NC/VA all this week. Put a few miles on the work van. I don't know if it means anything, but I saw 5 trailer loads of New Holland tractors- and NO loads of any other brand. If it was just one load of NH I would not have noticed...but FIVE loads all at different times, all headed South????

I bet it's related to Corriher's closing??

Maybe Soundguy is updating his fleet!

Is Corriher's also stopping ebay sales? That store has been in biz since 1850's!
They posted some pretty impressive profits a few years ago. Nothing on google about them closing down.

NH is pushing the TT and TDD series heavily from what I understand. If the trucks were in VA and headed south, I would think they were being shipped from Baltimore, which is the port of entry for the European built NH tractors.

I thought some of the NH's came in at Savannah. There is, or was, a big assembly facility at Dublin, GA, about 75 miles West of Savannah. I think it is where they assemble the Boomer tractors. I live about 200 miles West of Savannah, and I see trucks carrying NH tractors headed West bound pretty regularly on the "Fall Line Freeway".

I was in Virginia last week for a Grandson graduation and saw a truck load of blue headed South, wonder if it was the same one you saw?

I travel I-81 in SW VA daily, and see far more NH and Case being transported than any other brand. I can only remember seeing 1 truck with JD on it, it was hauling a 9520.

Their website seems current and doesn't mention anything about closing either.

In another thread someone stopped by and talked to someone. Hey are moving to FL and the dealership is closing. Said something about NH will have it open in a week.
