[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 681197, member: 2862"] <chuckle> I don't think so. AgCo is the world's largest farm equipment manufacturer/distributor, and Massey is its flagship line. Case/NH is the world's second largest equipment manufacturer. If anyone was buying anyone, it would be AgCo or Case/NH buying JD. JD might be big news in North America (somewhere around 50% market share), but worldwide, they're pretty small potatoes. Take Rostelmash, a name virtually unknown in North America, but 1 in every 5 combines worldwide is a Rostelmash and their parent company just bought Versatile "because they needed a tractor in the line-up". They're now selling 375HP Ag tractors for $150,000 Cdn, which is around $50-75,000 less than anything Green, Case Red or NH Blue. With the current development in Mongolia and other overseas areas, I think we'll see a radically different farm machinery landscape in 30 years. Case/NH is now owned by a Dutch company. AgCo and JD are both still US companies, but most of their equipment comes from France, Italy, Germany and India and Agco does most of its business in Brazil, so its only a matter of time until they're sold off.
