Just seen on FB Shapperkotters tractor in Mt Sterling Mo, a long time IH / Case IH and then added Kubota is now Crown Power and Equipment,, sad to see another small town shop gobbled up by big business,, but don't know all the details, maybe they wanted out, but the times they are a changing and have been all along in this business

Crown Power is moving on the small dealers as did Sidenstricker. Becoming a monopoly within the state. Anyone see the same in other states? Seems the Manufacturers are requiring such a HIGH Dollar dealer investment for inventory the little guys cannot justify staying in business.

Think Green South Equipment is doing the same with John Deere around the southeast.

Lots of times the OLD GUYS are getting ready to retire, and the KIDS don't want any part of the business ---- so sell........... Seen that in a couple Mom and Pop Grocery stores and hardware around here.

I've been seeing quite a few green and red dealerships quitting and then they take on Kabota and those Jap and china and other countries brands to sell. the big companies are only hurting themselves, Leon is right on...on the greed part!

The same thing is happening in KS. Several dealers in eastern ks have dozen or more locations . I have noticed the service goes down hill for the little guy.

JD AND CIH only wants a handful of dealers in the US. Won't be any individual dealerships for them down the road. SAD!

Pretty sure they both want Larger floor plan $$$$$ dealers to move more product. Smaller means less invested in lot stock and more ordered as needed.
