The dealers I was refering to were more in the 'central' region if you get my drift... If you've dealt with them both in the last 10-12 years you may know the guy I'm refering to. He's a pretty good guy too. I went to AC with his son.
Carmichaels were the only Deere dealer down here and I believe Midway Motors was the last Massey dealer... and that's some time ago. There were various others around over the years. I'm baling some hay for one of the former dealers tomorrow. Now there's a guy that sold them and won't own one... He was born an IH man and he'll die an IH man, but he made money selling Massey's for a time.
I wouldn't consider anyone left in the tractor game to be a true AG dealer anymore. S.J. MacRae & Son is still there selling CaseIH parts and Cub Cadet. I understand that he does keep a bunch of parts on hand, but I don't deal with him as I don't have any case gear... but he did put a bunch of tractors out there over the years.
Belmac Henderson is really the only dealer left selling tractors anymore with a Kubota line. They're getting into it more heavily and moving quite a bunch of stuff, but as far as I can tell it's mostly homeowner type stuff. They have captured some business from the local hort guys but I wonder where that's going to lead when they need something... because they don't seem to keep much stock, don't keep much in the way of even basic generic AG parts and don't seem to know a whole lot about it when you ask. A lot of guys here do like to try and support local business, but that only goes so far.
I've gotten to dealing just about exclusively with MacLeods and Bremner's for the simple reasont that they have some very good counter guys who know their stuff fairly well and are easy to deal with.
Their lines pretty well cover everything I've got anyway so it works out.

I'd sooner the Quicke loader too but the 7410 is what I've got. It's nothing to write home about either...

Rod

Today's Featured Article - New Life for an Old Allis - by Tyler Woods. My friend Jon, has an old '39 Allis Chalmers B. He thought it a marginal tractor that had long since served its time. She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start ... [Read Article]
