Redneckford-my kids got new "sale" shoes for school today-no cloths though! Not only is our dealership being penalized for this Farmtrac mess NOT created by ourselves, but your absolutely right-our families are paying the price and our children. Children do not understand-heck adults do not understand either!
Just let the youngins' drive a new FarmTrac to school everyday.;)

...the floor plan company is not offering any sizable discounts to get the units moving. $500-$1000 for several year old models are not discounts!

SESS,

I bet the children of Evil Empire Financial Firm employees have new shoes and clothes for school... therefore, it is no skin off their a**es and they are not compelled to do anything for dealers.

EEFF wants *all* the money and will not budge. They are mean and greedy -- in no specific order!

EEFF needs a swift punch in the gut by national media to motivate them to cooperate... That requires lots of cooperation from dealers, customers and former Farmtrac employees proving EEFF's and Farmtrac Corp.'s wrongdoings.

Will the dealers, customers and former Farmtrac employees respond? It is time for you to stop "taking it" and start "dishing it out."

I will take PMs, faxes at 623-687-9467 and/or e-mails.

Question for Textron; How many dealers, that you helped put into this situation, can talk to other dealers and manufacturers and relay how you treated them?
How many dealers will never work with you again?
How many manufactuers will not pick Textron to work with?
Your reputation is catching up to you very quickly!
Even the bully gets his ___ kicked when he beats up the wrong kid, a lot of kids want to fight now and their getting stronger!
Case

Still very happy with my tractor and dealer!

The subject of a road trip to Tex****s ofices in alphretta ga. has been mentioned, a bunch of blue tractors driven around the block by angry dealers and customers might get someones attention.I think the media could be persuaded to be there with reporters and photographers. the Tex**** company officials would have to make some kind of statement or risk the media wrath.in any event they would difinitely feel the heat and might begin to see deep discounts as a good investment.we americans have as much right to peacefully protest our greviances as all the unamerican groups do.I like the idea, what about YOU????----------------Taxpayer

Redneckford,

With equal servings of mania and genius insight, you are the Gumbo Posse's version of Dr. Brown -- all 3.2 gigawatts worth.

Indeed, it appears T**tron has itself burrowed deeeeeeep into the media infrastructure.

Maybe I'm using the wrong bait to entice folks to cover the story. Perhaps I could lure Rosie with a box of Krispy Kreme, Katie with a few prepared punchlines and Peter with some back bacon... eh?

For all the times I've been called out as "a cynical news guy," I would like someone to prove (to me and my Gumbo Posse partners) otherwise -- by running this story on a national level.

Major outlets, I flat out dare you.
Until you run this piece, consider yourselves co-conspirators!

Case1570 -- the idea that the bully is about to receive a few lumps ... well, it seems like karma. Perhaps a blanket party of sorts?!

Taxpayer -- right on! Knowing their tee-times would be delayed for a day or so *and* bring the scorn of hometown media honks CNN is heartwarming stuff.

Get Ernie, Ricky and Kyle there to drive the blue field units and ... as they say in the business, "make some laps" around the Evil Empire Financial Corp.

Doesn't the sound of it give ya goosebumps?! : )

Perhaps we could make that gumbo on the lawn... With shark tails and corn-on-the-Cobb! Make sure you turn the heat up on it -- extra hot!!!!

Hi,

Just cutting in to say how much I've enjoyed blueliners literary (and movie) references. You're one clever dude. . . . and very funny :cool:.

To the dealers and customers of FT I wish you all the best! You obviously don't deserve that which has been dealt to you and I for one am pretty disappointed (but not surprised) that uncle sam and his posse of justice continue to stand by the sidelines feigning interest. As a proud owner of a new TYM tractor I admittedly sweat a little bit everyday over what could be for a new venture in the US . . . All of us out here in tractor land are (or should be) paying close attention to the FarmTrac Troubles and hopefully when it's all over we'll have learned a little something. Something about those who ignore history . . . . :confused:

Good luck! All the best! Keep up the good fight!
Pete

Tax, Is this limited to the consumers who have filed complaints with the atorneys general, Federal Trade comission and U.S. Representatives and Senate? No! No! No! I've read other places that only four consmers have come forward and filed complaints. That would make a very short parade! Aren't there more consumers hurt by the Farmtrac mess? If they're not sure how to file-- Bluliner in a post above has volunteered to help. Just PM to blueliner and he'll Get-er done!
