LOL....We did sell Case, our primary tractor! Our immediate competion was a small John Deer Dealership....and a Ford dealership also. But Case pretty muc had the area wrapped up...... Then they changed it to Case/International as you know, when they bought out International.
We also took on Kuboto for about six months.. that did not go over at all so we dropped them. Also sold Gehl equipment...I’m sure you’re familiar with...and had of course used equipment for all the trade ins.
With this we had Case Industrial Equipment...Uni-loaders were fun to drive. But you wouldn’t see my trying to handle the backhoes, but nice to ride in. I remember selling a tractor to a farmers wife....before I knew anything at all about tractors. She mentioned a PTO Shaft, which I had no idea what that was! So I simply moved my arm in a very demonstrative way without actually pointing and she walked right up to it. Live and learn!
The aims:
1. Reduce the number of farms —only the huge ones can afford all these professional drivers.
2. Make sure all farm workers are in a dues-paying union.
3. With all illegals in a union, farm ownership is absolved of responsibility for infractions after hiring them.
