Think it all depends in what region you are in. Like here, I have absolutely NO Case IH, New Holland, Tym, Branson dealers anywhere, so those tractors are almost non-existant.Well, my question prompted some interesting comments. My initial intent was to address why Massey seems ghostly in the current CUT foray of Kubota, JD, Kioti, TYM, New Holland, former Branson, and a number of less known. Massey hardly makes their list.
Yes, in the ag world, Massey has a little more handhold. And many of you see older Massey iron and call them present, but I'm speaking of today's market. Their apparent distance sure doesn't help their cause to remain competitive.
I have an LS. It's great. But it was and still is lesser % in the market. Massey is less than that!
Happy New Year, y'all.
Then the other thing that happened is we lost a couple good family owned Massey dealers because a few years back AGCO started doing the John deere thing and said you have to be a big multiple location franchise to have a dealership with us, so they either closed up or moved on to other smaller brands like LS, Kioti, etc.
