Not my cup of tea that one.
Alan Prouse is the Krone dealer for Cornwall.

Yep, he is and I would buy Krone if dealer changes.
Don’t think your the first person to say that!

And if the plan backfires/doesn’t work out as planned, who will be taking the blame?
I do know what you mean though his salesman is a really good chap.
Krone is the most commonly bought baler round here so he must be doing something right.
Well I think maybe & I 'm only guessing if we ignore the rumour I heard earlier in the week about Deutz & CFM there is only one possible place for Case to go, they'd been pushing for a 2 depot dealer for a while.
Which then leaves us with who will TFM take on ?

Seems about right, if you were JD would you want anymore?
Each dealer would of course have multiple depots.

I'd love to know what goes on behind the scenes at the top of these manufacturers.
It's always assumed that the dealers are all saints, never do anything wrong, it's all the manufacturers fault etc. I'd bet it's not always the case.

Does anyone think deere have part ownership of these large dealers.for the life of me I don’t know how these huge dealers expand and build huge new depots.all has to be paid for and not huge amount of machines getting sold.

TFM still sell JCB tractors though dont they? Maybe Case didn't like that?
Yes I suspect your right , alot of tractor manufacturers don't like multi franchised dealers.

Indirectly deere have the biggest share
They fund all the new stock via stocking facilities via the JD bank based in Belgium
Most will have other JD bank facilities
Ie
Used machines and dealer hire fleet's
Take these facilities away and most dealers would struggle to carry one in the same way.
So JD hold all the card's
You can't sell the JD franchise to anyone as they have full say on who can have it
You are on a rolling 12 months notice renewal is October each year

CLAAS only have 14/15? You never hear much complaining about that. As long as you're able to get your parts same day with decent mobile mechanics like CLAAS then there isn't a big deal.

So with news of TFM this week,will we hear about new Case dealer next week? Anyone in the know?

Don't know what al the fuss is about. In most of the other threads dealers are referred to as 'stealers' and generally abused for being too expensive on parts, hopeless on sales service or a rip off with workshop charges and useless mechanics.
Maybe that's why they're getting dumped?
