FarmTrac Troubles

[redneckford]

The key word is court. you will be out of money long before you get a court date and their lawyers will still be drawing a check. Those with the gold make the rules. Those without just have to follow them or quit. Thats how the big dogs do things and know that you do not have the money time and patiences to fight them because you have to make a living to pay the bills.!!!!

Maybe against one dealer, but let's say 200 dealers each contributed $5000, we have $1 million at that point in the kitty to fight. I'm not a FarmTrac dealer, but there is strength in numbers.

If the tractor numbers are correct Farmtrac was not thinking about the future and economic conditions. They over purchased and passed the mess on to the dealers when things started slowing down. You want enough tractors to have a good selection to choose from but you dont want to flood the dealers with tractors. The worst part is the dealers and customers will suffer more than the management. It also looks like Textron wasnt watching when they should have been. This is just my 2 cents worth.

Agree Dave the key to solving this problem with the least amount of loss to the dealers is that they stay together and not let the powers that be divide them into small groups and take away the focus of solving the problem for the dealers and their customers. First they will try to pit the customers against the dealer and then dealers against one another because everyone will have a little different problem and the powers that be will try to fix the cheapest problems and get the dealers fighting amoug'st their'selfs; and say we can't solve any problems because the dealers don't agree.

The only thing that I can say to that is. If and when some one is going to go looking for the money that is gone. Taxes have to be paid. When the Federal government gets involved it will be OK then. Not to many big companies win again them. There pockets are way deeper then Textron or any foreign fly by night operation. Some on some were is getting paid. I don't think the dealers will have no problem going to court with the dogs they are hunting with. Being over Confident due to the fact a company may have deep pockets is a gamble, just ask the British. Cup of tea any one? At least the dealers can wake up in the morning and have a not so heavy heart like are deep pocketed folks. In todays market big companies come and go. Ceo's go to prison and pay hefty fines.

Anyone can sue anyone and some supposed atty. or atty. assistant coming on here saying they are sueing Montana is pretty low.

If you want that info and you really are an attorney then get the facts and details via discovery, depositions etc.

Go bottom feed elsewhere.

Well, think of me like Erin Brokovitch. I'm not an attorney, I just work for. And what did Erin Brokovitch have to do to get the facts? It wasn't through depositions, discovery, etc. She had to go to the people who knew the story the best in order to get all the pieces of the puzzle to come together. I'm not trying to do anything other than figure out the relationship and where MT fits into the picture. I happen to know first hand how the dealers are the ones getting screwed in this whole process.

We represent Agracat, Inc, who many of you might have heard of and if anyone would like a copy of the complaint, I'd be more than happy to share it with you. Or, you can contact the Washinton County (AR) clerk's office and request a copy.

I have nothing to hide - simply trying to gather information.
