Woodbeef,
You sure do get around. AGCO must be in your blood. I've seen this post on so many boards I had to look at it.
Thanks

Being that they are an American company, I would consider purchases of their products. Might as well keep American dollars here in the United States!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It is an American company with a lot of(good) imported tractors. I would not buy them just because it is an American owned company,I would buy for quality and best value for the dollar.

Re: AGCO\'s new site is up.......
When I was tractor shopping, the Agco was one I was really interested in. I stopped by a local dealer to have a serious discussion on one, but it was almost like he wasn't even interested in selling. Most of his business is in large equipment. He acted like the CUT's were just too much of a burden to fool around with. Had his attitude been different, I may very well have gotten a "different orange" tractor............chim

Re: AGCO\'s new site is up.......
It's strange how some of the old Ag dealers are handling the recent surge in compact sales. It is as though they don't have a clue that the compact sales is the only real growth area in agriculture at this time. When I was shopping back in 1999, the JD dealer wasn't interested and the NH salesman just wanted me to get a larger tractor. I finely just left, It is real irritating when you know what you want and they won't talk to you about it.

Re: AGCO\'s new site is up.......
Woodbeef-I had a dealer tell me that Valtra would still operate as a seperate division(Valtra USA). Do you think that's true? If they do I'll bet eventually it will come under the same umbrella. Also I wonder if the Sisu (spell?) engine will be used to replace the Perkins engine

Re: AGCO\'s new site is up.......
I don't know about replacing the Perkins all together but the main reason Agco bought Valtra was for Sisu. They made everything else but had to buy their engines still. This deal gave them their own engines to use now as well as the Perkins and Cat motors.

Re: AGCO\'s new site is up.......
Woodbeef-You don't think if it would lower the cost of building the tractor, that would'nt tempt them to use the Sisu engine??
Everyone is trying to lower their costs these days, and it is being said by AGCO and Valtra, one of the main reason for the purchase was the engine. Sisu engines in AGCO product, Perkapillar in Challenger?? Chuck M.
Also are they going to build the same chassis in France that was being built in the Coventry (UK) plant before it was closed?

Re: AGCO\'s new site is up.......
Not really sure how much if any using SISU engines across the board in Masseys would be any cheaper. First off there is not the capacity for that many engines. Second Massey has been linked to Perkins for over 40 years now. If AGCO jumped ship it might be a bad move. Now if Cat did not own Perkins it might be different..........
The new 5400 series is being built at Beauvais,it replaced the Banner Lane 4300.

Re: AGCO\'s new site is up.......
I was researching the Valtra tractors and noticed they use Sisu diesel engines. I went to their website and saw some engine features that might interest TBN'ers.
http://www.sisudiesel.com/products/agricultural/fortius_series_info/
From the webpage: "Engines produced by Sisu Diesel are known for being long-lasting and giving a lot of torque and power. The latest series of Fortius engines offers even more. For example, fuel consumption has been reduced by 5-7 percent, noise levels have been reduced, there is 10-20 percent more torque, and the oil drain interval have been increased to 500 hours, which reduces the customer’s maintenance costs by around one-third."
