Yes it is the truth. What will this do to values of Gehl equipment? Can anyone say FIRE SALE?

Darn Shame. Another good one gone. Spinning hoes and skidsteers are'nt going to fill any silos.

Amazing they decided to "discontinue" as opposed to sell the unit...

Not sure I understand that...

Gehl shafted their dealers first of all. These dealers had invested in stocking equipment & parts and promoting the Gehl product. Second every end user customer that Gehl had, Gehl betrayed them and their public trust by not selling the AG Division or arranging for their products to live on.

What dealer will want to stock parts for Gehl equipment? The cold hard facts are Gehl did their dealers wrong the way they left them with Hay Equipment on their lots at the time of year that they would have the most inventory. Many of these dealers will just tell Gehl to come get the stuff because Gehl hurt the dealer's ability to make money on hay equipment. Gehl knew they were going to do this 6 months ago and if I were a Gehl dealer I'd sue them for damages. New Gehl equipment just lost 20-30% of it's value and the used equipment lost 40-60% of it's value with the Gehl's action on Monday.

ironpeddler - Were the Gehl round balers sold new from the present and going back 2 years actually made by Gehl, or made by other manufacturer and decaled and painted Gehl?

Gehl pulled their AG dealer locator down so I guess that means Gehl customers will have no Idea where to get parts.

Gehl cares nothing about their customers or dealers. Gehl AG equipment will be scrapped because of no dealer support.

It's magic how they put up the Dealer locator after I posted.

You will be able to get parts likely from a Gehl AG Equipment internet sight. They plan to direct market the parts to the end users. I'm not sure how quick of a delivery time you can expect.
There are 3 large companies negotiating with Gehl for the intellectual property rights of certain segments of the AG company.

I have been waiting to hear this from another source and have yet to hear anything. Is it true that Gehl discontinued their ag. equipment? It doesn't say anything on their website. Just wondering what the deal is.

Thanks,
Chris
