Naa.... They wouldn't? Although they have done some pretty odd ventures in the past so maybe it's not coming from the barn! After I read this I ran to the door and looked to the south and there is a bunch of stem rising to the sky down that way. Here I just thought is was Fay working her way up the coast. Maybe the bubble has finally burst over FT headquarters.

Wrong that is that new air breathing machine that the FarmTrac executive is trying to invent in tobacco country!!!! Formula----take 23 million dollars of white powder-----inhale---wonder what the h--- happened!!!! that is what i heard at the south side Dairy Queen not even thirty minutes ago. They (those investment bankers at the local dairy queen)invented cable news before Al invented the internet!!!!Would they LIE to me????OK their third cousin on their daddy's fourth cousin side said it was so. "Thinking" that must be a lie they don't even know who their daddy is must less a cousin---brother!!!

We got a survey in the mail from LS Cable which branched off in July 2008 to start LS Mtron. The survey was asking about LS Cable tractor products, feelings about Farmtrac (past and present) floor plan companies etc. LS Cable supplies tractors for Farmtrac, Montana and and the compacts for McCormick. The rumor mill has been active since Jan when this mess unfolded that LS was interested in buying Farmtrac and/or the property. Don't know what is means for today. Why would LS Cable start another company (LS Mtron) just to buy Farmtrac? I would not think that LS Mtron would use the same Farmtrac name since it has a bad stigma that goes with it. Seems like things are complicated to have all these tractors running around the country with a bunch of different names on them. Regardless, we filled out our survey. Anyone else get one?

I just got off the phone with some well connected people,from what I was told I can only say Montana dealers and Mccormick dealers beware!now would be a good time for you to start a private dealer forum and keep each other informed as the farmtrac dealers have done.you could very well find yourselves in a situation like the farmtrac dealers are facing.I personally feel all brand dealers should come together and change this industry while we have the chance. there must be more dealer protection in buyback laws and dealer agreements, this is a changing world and the dealers can not afford to allow to be drawn into one sided contracts anymore.------Taxpayer

We filled out our survey yesterday and sent it back.also got a followup call from the survey company with additional questions and comments.I was told the survey forms were not being sent to farmtrac dealers that also carried Montana or McCormick.that leads me to believe LS MTRON intends to have all LS tractors under one name in the US.just my thoughts.-------Taxpayer

Maybe my initial gut reaction was correct when I saw that LS started their own tractor brand to think that they are going to absorb all the individual LS lines and make just one for the US market. I talked to a couple Montana dealers in my area and they say things are way to similar to how the Farmtrac mess happened-beware, be cautious and be alert! When Farmtrac closed-we had no idea it was coming. By then it was too late to do anything. My gut tells me something is not right here folks. Tractors dealers are all competitors when selling a brand-but we are all friends at the same time. I would not want anyone to be put through what we Farmtrac dealers are going through! Now's the time to start asking questions.
