WORlD ClASSIJ hmm, take your number 1 selling tractor in worlds most important ag market and replace it with your 3rd best selling tractor. Over the past 4-5 years, make claims to press and investors how the Challenger brand is going to be driven to superiority by superb relations with CAT dealers and their service. Now, fast forward to present: 3 major CAT dealers have dropped Challenger - Yancey and Foley (4 if you include Martin) and 1 in Canada. Another in Florida indicated will only take orders if someone wants one, not aggressively marketing. Now, lets change course again, maybe after all we will consider letting traditional AGCO dealers sell Challenger since our plan A story to the media isn't working out so well! Reason given for dropping the AGCO tractor: can't justify Tier 4 emission EPA expense for all of these units, so lets kill our origins and best seller. But wait a minute, We have 4 separate combines to face the same Tier 4 scrutiny, Gleaner RandA series; Challenger; and Massey Ferguson. Gleaner as facts show account for about 70% of AGCO's NA market, Massey largely the rest and Challenger not even a blip - high single digits to low teens depending on how sales are accounted for. How does the Tier 4 impact theseIJ Based on the tractor story, Challenger combine demise should have been completed long ago. If anyone can figure the logic and agenda here, please share it!
