Well I remember hearing about this but I just saw the first ad for them(unless they've been out for a while and I never noticed). Isn't this the billboard tycoon dude who decided to invest in retail John Deere farm machinery stores? There's quite a list of locations.


Is the farm machinery business that lucrative? Shop rates have hit the stratosphere. Every thing from the detailer, wrench pullers, lead hand, shop foreman, service writer, a separate parts counter and staff dedicated to only the shop, Principals. ...they all have to be paid out of that $135-$150/hr shop rate. Geez with a list like that you have to wonder if they're charging enough! Belly laughing lol.....

Very few Ma and Pa shops around....mostly AGCO if they are.
Consolidation industry wide "serving" a bunch of independant thinking and acting farmers.....hmmmmm....
