John Deere dealers

[Teejay]

Just learnt that Bell Agricultural have lost the JD franchise. 100 mile round trip for spares wont be fun especially with operation stack on the M20.

So who is going to add that territory to their own.

Probably be Burdens but have not heard anything yet. It seems wrong to lose your franchise just because you only have one depot.

happened a dealer in ireland about 2 years ago or was going to happen they told him get another depot or we will dump you , so he sold to the jd man in the next countyand stayed as manager , he is happy now no more long nights no having to open sundays for a guy that brakes down

Dealer nr me had 3 or 4 depo's and moved a lot of tractors but still lost JD franchise.

A big jd dealer covering a big part of Ireland who sold 1600 new JD tractors got a letter hand delivered telling him he had lost the agency , jd are doing a great job f.cking themselves up , another good dealer lost jd , NH were on to him quickly and now he is very happy selling blue tractors to all his jd customers.

God won't sell tractors.

 

[Farmer_Joe]

a large dealer near us has just invested loads in new workshop and showroom word was they had to keep jd franchise

 

[Badshot]

Bad news for the staff, it's a busy little depot, there will be some very unhappy customers who won't deal with burdens.

God won't sell tractors.

that's the bit they don't realise,the smaller dealer had more bits in stock,every time now it is we can get it for tomorrow

 

[NZ Tech]

The usual is merge with the next group or lose it... so maybe they didnt want to merge ?.

Agco has been doing the same. Sacking family firms and putting in big set ups

Bloody clueless, they can all get spares next day, so what's the point?

MF did that here long time ago, tipper lorries turned up, loaded all the spares and a guy supervised
whilst they was buried in the local tip

 

[Deerejon]

From what I've heard, deere's want bigger but less dealers, bell's can still look after existing tractors but not sell new deere's and they have to go through another dealer to get the parts. Heard a rumour several weeks ago of bell's becoming a deutz dealer but don't know how much truth there is with that.

 

[Teejay]

Thats interesting as Bell's site was a Deutz dealership several years ago.
