Thinking about going to Topeka in May for the NHRA races and while I'm out there touring the Agco Hesston plant, do you need to make reservations ? Can you just show up ? Just wondering

It's best to make an appointment, to make sure someone will be there. If you just walk in, there may or may not be someone available, as they use retired workers to give the tours.

Yeah, looks like they now only offer tours at the Jackson MN plant.

We stopped at Jackson 1 1/2 years ago, we were late there, like 4 pm and they had shut down the manufacturing for the day so no tour, still looked around the museum part in front for awhile.

Get a hold of your local AGCO dealer and have them arrange a tour for you.

Last time I was at Jackson, they required arranging the plant tour at least a day before the tour time.

You will need to schedule the tour ahead of time, it is best to do it thru a dealer if possible.
