They own Versatile who in turn make the M8 though there was talk at one point of them selling Versatile but I very much doubt they will.

Dealerships are getting out of hand in my opinion..
Ravenhill guy said they just got an email from Merlo, same from Kubota, try their best to promote a product and get dumped via email with no warning, business but pretty spineless

You have to feel for Chris Powell who is selling Kubota just now. He has tried hard to get an unknown tractor brand on to farms, and as soon as the brand is starting to get known and accepted they up and off to HRN.
I know its business but still....

Have they sold many tractors?

The usual suspects had a demo around here when they first took on dealership.

But none sold in this area that I'm aware of.
