The dealer can hold stock for demonstrators, new tractor stock and spares rather than JD having to keep stock themselves. Each dealer can have afford to have specialized trained employees.

What happens to Tuckwells with John deere and JCB!? One has to go, I'd bet on it being the yellow one not the Green and Yellow?
Unless another Green dealer swallows 'em up.

What’s going to happen in somewhere like Ireland where I don’t imagine that all the JD dealers combined reach a turn over of €100 million, let alone that the total market for combines even reaches 30 units?

I have to question that. The dealer we used has gone through two rounds of amalgamation and the level of service remains very good. Ok the owners have changed but I am still dealing with very responsive local people. The upside is that Ripon farm services hold a huge amount more stock.

What about farmers who are miles from the depot?

Most likely finish up with one dealer with a bunch of sub-depots.
In the 21st century you just don't need 50 people all competing to sell the same brand.....................in the future maybe just spec the machine online and then you can downsize the sales office...........just need repair techs.

What about them? If the distance is a real obstacle to JD ownership presumably they will choose another brand. As time passes everyone expects/needs higher wages, it’s unrealistic to think all depots will stay open.
