This strategy isn't rocket science. Since 1972, it has been in Deere's best interest to build a combine with two characteristics: 1.a lot or moving parts 2. difficult to repair . Besides selling the machine, this also sells parts and service. Bi Rotor is going pressure AGCO, NEW HOllAND, and CAT more than CIH. Cih is still one step ahead. Deere has changed designs 4 times since 73' What deere needs to do to bury compitition is to make their next combine, whatever it is, so simple in desighn and repair that they sell NEW for less than $100,000. At the end of the day, thats what counts. But of course, they won't. The BI ROTOR will probably sell for more than $400,000 leaving the small and poor farmers out again. By the way I got "some" information from a Machinerylink official and some dealers. Any more questionsIJ
