Johnston Tractors to lose JD

[tweedale terrier]

John Deere have been flexing their muscles again. Johnston Tractors to lose JD franchise at all 3 depots. Cornthwaites are to take on the areas affected. It would seem the super dealers are to get bigger.

I think this has been in the “offing” for sometime. Sure Howard and Lorna have a plan for “life after John Deere” I guess all the guessing and rumour mill will grind into gear now. It’s the way things are these days!

 

[tweedale terrier]

I’m quite sure they will. Just a shame this is continually occurring despite considerable investment by dealers.

I heard this rumour as well, my money would be on them getting kubota ?

Definitely not a rumour.

Big isn’t always beautiful. Economy of scale I guess.

What is a super dealer ? , bet there is no dealer in the uk that has more spanner men then they need or would like to have and all the parts on the shelf you want to take home ,

 

[meekers]

Just to clarify is this the same Johnston tractors that have a depot in Dumfries? They are losing JD?

[meekers]

I’m shocked at that but I don’t know much about tractor dealerships!

They still havnt learned from their mistakes here , they dropped a very good dealer who then switched to NH , and he held most of his customers and JD lost a lot of sales over it , they then did the same to another top dealer in the west and he is now flying with another brand , selling away to his JD customers , it's easy to see why JD have gone from 26% market leaders 3 years ago down to 19% and down to third place , if that's good marketing management it's all a joke. Very poor treatment of very loyal customers . They walked into one dealer and handed him a letter telling him he was gone.

John Deere with the Spanish dealers has done the same, I also think that he has been wrong and that he had been a sales leader for decades, now NH is fast approaching him

 

[Badshot]

The arrogance of jd is amusing.
I sincerely hope this directive comes from the very top, otherwise someone will be having quite a lot of explaining to do on a global scale.
It's good for the other brands though.

Heard Johnston tractors told JD where to go, got sick of the hassle.
JD lost a lot of sales round here because of price and treatment of dealers, so 1 dealer could probably manage what few tractors they will have.
