I'd be surprised if that's correct remember they own lots of companies including vapormatic.Not had a single Deere product purchased by my business in its farming history ever strange weve managed to exsist eh.

am not knocking them or there products there is plenty about the countryside but just never had an of them personaly.Same here. JD are on a (short) list of manufacturers that we actively avoid, because their pricing model values their worth to my farm at considerably more than I do. But we've managed to get along with many other colours and retain more profit than we otherwise might have done...
cant say ive ever seen anything with there name on too be honest neither.I'd be surprised if that's correct remember they own lots of companies including vapormatic.

They're going to end up losing a lot of customers if they keep going the way they are with dealerships. Its all push push push to get bigger sell more etc, just isnt going to end well.View attachment 1149742
OK, a good many tool and ag machinery shops will have a vapormatic account some more prominently displayed than others. Anything from a fuse to a short motor for most tractor colours.
If you want the storeman to get you competitive prices for an item then you would hope that they include vapormatic for a price comparison.
However recently heard the local area rep has been applying pressure to account holders. If you sell x amount a month it now has to be x + 5% before you qualify for a discount with monthly increases. Might have always been the way but smells a bit of JD marketing.

They do occur on here from time to time.....Well thats a stupid comment
Having just priced all the major brands for a new tractor, there is very little in price between them when you get them to the same spec ! We are going back to Deere after a different make, there dealer back up is far better here anywayIf you can't afford a John Deere your not a very good farmer.
Im not sure, I struggle to see where the benefit in terms of a bottom line is going to come from by owning the swish tractor. Not much difference in running costs (apart from the JD probably costing more if anything) so its really just down to people wanting fancy toys... Having said that I am vain and so would quite like a fendt...They do occur on here from time to time.....
Question is....Would a good farmer who could afford a JD be daft enough to waste all that money....?
Completely agree.Having just priced all the major brands for a new tractor, there is very little in price between them when you get them to the same spec ! We are going back to Deere after a different make, there dealer back up is far better here anyway
