When you look at the latest results of sales figures released for 2020 Massey had managed to gain sales over their previous year, one of the few manufacturers to have done so, helping them to climb up a place leapfrogging case to 3rd behind JD 1st & NH 2nd.
Am not sure where valtra finished although I think it was a fairly considerably lower position iirc

My thoughts also. A much more polite response though.

I just thought rubbish.

Be interesting to see how the whole thing pans out though. Not seeing many Kubota tractors replacing JDs about these parts.
JD must be losing market share up here though,I’m seeing other colours starting to creep into yards that were solid green before. I would say Claas seems to be gaining a few new customers with Case also gaining from the disruption.

Not many JDs left on farms round here. We are predominantly small livestock farms though.

If you go up into Turriff, Banffshire, Morayshire where the big deal farmers are there are still plenty.

Netherton are I'm sure doing a good job of looking after existing JD customers.

Agco are pushing valtra ahead of Massey, a top Agco man told me that they are fed of of the French who won’t listen or take advice , the way he was talking Agco won’t own Massey for ever.
I fear your right the French wont listen too anyone.

who knows eh!! it wont be a Valtra mind !
That how to keep a very happy Mf man happy sack his dealer , There are some people at MF that need the sack before any dealer, look at the carry on years ago when W M Burns were MF dealers you got a filter in the post for it first service . It was Ancroft who had the pick up all the bits back them 34 years ago & rebuild a strong customer base , then be kicked in the teeth by a calculator driving fresh out of school kid.

what a load of rubbish
Valtra are basically Bessy mates with Fendt in most dealerships here in the UK now.
Massey want no part of this.
The must feel threatened eh.
The writing was on the wall over 3 years ago at the Highland Show in the UK when Massey had there own sep stand
Guess who was still with Fendt on the stand (Valtra) & still are to this day.
