New dealerships in FtW area...

Saw this video from TYM about a new dealership in Ft. Worth. Sounds like maybe they are going to encourage dealership groups.

I approve unless it become huge groups like the JD stores around here.

It looks like TYM is really making an effort to grow the US market. Some other GOOD brands out there, just don't seem to care about presence, like Yanmar

What China doesn’t get, the large corporations will.

China?

Yep, they have invested ~145 billion buying US real estate, businesses and even a bank

I think his point was that it doesn't really apply to the story. TYM is a Korean company and the dealership group is currently 2 stores, not some big corporate entity.

That was my point, seems out of place

Tym is really breaking into the American market. They have a plant in Georgia where they assemble a lot of tractors. I think they see an opportunity to undercut big green and orange and grow market share.

Disagree, Yanmar is doing the same thing. I just learned about a new Yanmar dealer in Marion Ohio. 15 minutes from my house. They have been selling lawn equipment for years there, and they recently started selling Yanmar tractors. They are a sister company to the big one in Mount Vernon.

I think that's a good strategy. I can buy parts and have my tractor maintained in Marion Ohio which is 15 minutes from me. Anything major could go to Mount Vernon where they have a really good tech.

I spoke to the sales guy and they're going to be offering servicing of the Yanmar equipment.

Just because they don't have a dealer Network near you doesn't mean they don't have it and they aren't growing. I don't have a TYM dealer near me, I guess they don't care about dealer presence.

I can't wait till their dealer Network is such that they can tell JD to build their own damn engine

I hope they do that same thing. The fact that they had not one dealer in my state, was what kept me from buying from them.
