I called my parts guy at the local AGCO dealership yesterday to order some fan belts for my 8050, he said as of September 30th AGCO is going through a re-structuring and will not take orders for 5 to 21 days...pretty freaking sad. Anybody else hear anything about this prior to them just basically closing the doors?

Interesting Post.  Here is what hot gossip I could find out:  It happened on Tuesday Sept 29.

AGCO (NYSE: https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/AGCO#source=section%3Amain_content%7Cbutton%3Abody_link%7Cfirst_level_url%3Anews" rel="nofollow - AGCO ) disclosed a https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0000880266/000088026624000045/agco-20240624.htm&tblci=tblEWfEHAADAEKfbXhjQ5ees9sSgiDkg_tudwIE0KIKWbTjMgtOT_sPvtdgB" rel="nofollow - restructuring program Tuesday in response to increased weakening demand in the agriculture industry, including a ~6% reduction of the company's salaried workforce.

AGCO ( https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/AGCO#source=section%3Amain_content%7Cbutton%3Abody_link%7Cfirst_level_url%3Anews" rel="nofollow - AGCO ) said the initial phase of the program will focus on further reducing structural costs, streamlining its workforce and enhancing global efficiencies related to changing its operating model for certain corporate and back-office functions and better leveraging technology and global centers of excellence.

The company estimates it will incur $150M-$200M in charges for one-time termination benefits related to the first phase of the program, consisting mostly of cash charges related to severance payments, employees benefits and related costs, to be incurred in 2024 and H1 2025.

Once fully implemented, AGCO ( https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/AGCO#source=section%3Amain_content%7Cbutton%3Abody_link%7Cfirst_level_url%3Anews" rel="nofollow - AGCO ) expects the first phase will yield $100M-$125M in annual run-rate benefits and cost savings.

The restructuring program follows AGCO's ( https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/AGCO#source=section%3Amain_content%7Cbutton%3Abody_link%7Cfirst_level_url%3Anews" rel="nofollow - AGCO ) reported https://seekingalpha.com/news/4098390-agco-gaap-eps-of-2_32-misses-0_01-revenue-of-2_93b-misses-90m#source=section%3Amain_content%7Cbutton%3Abody_link%7Cfirst_level_url%3Anews" rel="nofollow - Q1 drop in sales and earnings , as global demand fell in the agricultural equipment industry.

The dealer we deal with sent out a letter in June or July announcing the black out. They had an incentive to pre order parts.  Talked to another dealer they increased their inventory in preparation and they heard other dealers did as well.  Parts are available for down machines it’s just a very painful process.  Its condensed to a 2 week circus.

Same here. Local dealers put out the info in June .  Was in there Friday and said they could put orders in on Monday but couldn’t say when they would receive them.

I knew about the upcoming parts shut down a month ago, but didn't hear about the layoffs until now.
