Ya why kill something thats been great for years. now we gotta buy a massey christ if i gunna have to buy a red tractor im gunna buy versatile. y couldnt they drop fendt or valtra tractors instead and start selling the orange agco brands all over the world in there place.
@sabrefirefighter my blood is also orange... but fendt is why the new challengers MF's and AGCO tractors are so nice... fendt is the one that designed the CVT so i dont think that woulda been a good move... but yes there is no reason to drop the orange!!! i just drove a new fendt for the first time ever over thanksgiving break took me about ten min to figure out how to start the thing but in the field and overall they are way nicer than the MF's and the challengers...
agco would have been NOTHING without Allis Chalmers to begin with and here they make it all special by taking them away, because they got too big too fast. sounds like the agricultural version of GM, which makes me wonder when you guys lose alot of your profit when everyone stops buying stuff from you are you going to ask for a government bail out too?
Since the split between Ford and Ferguson MF has not been popular by some farmers. With Perkins engine and traditional, or since 1986 GIMA, transmission it is a concept many have copied and as such the best selling in the world even today. But it is a shame that AGCO-tractors are taken away. They could have been true originals had the company listened to the American farmer and his wishes.
Honoring the tradition-by dropping the brand? You sure have an odd way of expressing things. If there hadn't been the orange tractors from Allis Chalmers, the green ones from Deutz-Allis and later the formation of AGCO from what was Deutz-Allis there would be no Agco Corporation. Massey would be gone-or at best floundering around. I am sure Cat would have pulled the plug on Challenger. How can you cancel what the corporation was built upon? The real success is AGCO. Not Massey. Not Challenger
@blkeele They are going to have to turn massey around without my help. I don't give a rip if the tractor is the same under the paint, they chose the wrong name to push in the midwest. It is terrible the way they are jerking the dealers around as well. A lot of them don't want anything to do with massey, either.
To clarify, I appreciate the effort, and the sentiment, but it obviously is in response to the outrage and disgust of loyal Agco customers and dealers. It just doesn't ring true. A token gesture isn't going to save your image now. Why not eat some crow like another Atlanta based company that made a huge marketing mistake in the 1980s. Maybe you have heard of them-Coca Cola. I think there could be some lessons to be learned from their experience. It isn't the exact same situation, but similar.
Richenhagen should have to explain this over and over and over again, but instead, all the Agco employees have to do his dirty work. Dropping the orange tractors might look good to shareholders, but they don't buy all that many tractors and combines now, do they?
Not happy I bought an Agco baler two years ago because of this. Just getting ready to buy new agco tractor because they finally had something worth buying after twenty years of sub par. But it looks like it will be another CNH product. Shame on you agco. Whats with this legacy bull crap If I look at your own legacy video I see no orange tractors. Just your spin to sell obsolete inventory. GOOD BUY AGCO!!!!!!
how about with this legacy brand that you can git your tractor in any hertage color and hertage name like to make Allis-Chalmers decals and White dacals and paint and oliver green.........HEY I JUST GOT AN IDEA IF AGCO WOULD LET PEOPLE ORDER THEIR TRACTOR IN ANY COLOR AND ANY NAME ON IT!!!!!!
ya its just stupid!!! they dont even need to git rid of this brand they allready are the #3 biggest tractor MGF in the world they are just doing this because AGCO is now run by european people
everything he is saying is just built around 1 thing... he just keeps adding different words to it
