It appears the merger\agreement with Montana has fallen through. The Branson website has posted the following letter stating that Kujke has given up on the deal:

Rome, Georgia

Today, Mr. Young Nam, President of Branson Machinery in Rome Georgia, made an announcement that it will discontinue its discussions with Montana Tractors on a joint venture between two entities because of lack of economic support under the current business environment in the US. Kukje Machinery, Parent company of Branson, also confirmed it will keep Branson Tractor as a main sales force in North American market and strengthen its customer services by appointing new team of management.

Mr. Nam, the newly appointed president of Branson, named Glen Ezell as a Vice President of sales and marketing. He stated that Mr. Ezell will lead Team Branson as Branson starts its new Beginning.

There is currently a discussion about this going on in the Montana forum. Kinda feel bad for those who have purchased Montanas. I am sure that they are going to be well supported with parts, but I wonder about warranty coverage. Don't get me wrong, I believe that they are a well built tractor, but any tractor has a potential for problems.

That's too bad.

Certainly wouldn't have hurt our cause.
