The AGCO Story 1994

Awesome! Thanks for uploading this!

Damn I miss the 90’s. We need to go back!

I'm an international guy, but I love these videos. Keep them coming!

This video takes me back thankyou

Great vid👍this vid was made before Fendt n Challenge enter AGCO family.

keep them coming really enjoy these videos thank you

listening, learning and leading the way

So out of the original 7, only 2 remain un-merged with each other...interesting to see how far it has come...in a way its sad


It is interesting to see the Gleaner plant used for other things too

Very nice😃
I'm glad to See these fine video.
Keep on going.
Agriculture is a passion 😊

Parts, service ,ease of services reliability,warranty is what is needed... CAT is famous for this.
Parts and lack of trained mechanics for so many foreign made tractors an issue.

Dealer network has been very thin since the 90's for a lot of MN. Be nice if they built that up again.

Wished they never dropped White Farm Equipment

Somehow they went from all those great American brand names everyone knew to trying to sell us Fent. Valtra and Challenger.
The Challenger line is nothing without Cat and Fent and Valtra mean nothing to me.

I worked at Allis dealer during all this transition and attended the Deutz buy-out meeting. The message was “It vill be green, it vill be air cooled, and you vill like it!” I always thought that we were gaining market share with the 8000 series but the Deutz was a setback. We did sell a few to customers who liked specific features, but our Case line became more popular. After an interim away as a JD Service Manager, I worked at AGCO Batavia call-center as a parts Tech Specialist during the Fendt acquisition. There were major changes in all of the “tractor companies” during that time. At the time, it was hard to imagine that AGCO would be what it is today. Bob Ratliff deserves a lot of credit as a true visionary!

I watched this over and over again because of the intro, AGCO allis, gleaner, and white

Kelly tractor co.
Can't even find my fuel filter

I miss Allis Chalmers I wish they wouldn't have got bought out

Love the tractor s

The VHS asthetic is strong with this one

What happened?? If you drink the kool-aid on this video, you'd think they'd have cornered the market by now. Now I only know of ONE dealer in a 200 mile radius that even has an AGCO shingle up on their board... they're a New Holland dealer in Victoria, TX. The only other AGCO dealer was a long-time fully AGCO dealer in El Campo, and they went out years ago. Course I guess those unsold tractors and White planters were their undoing... seems parts was the only thing keeping them alive, that an selling various "powersports" ATV's and side-by-sides... They went out years ago and now their property is an oilfield supply company.

I looked seriously at a Massey disk mower on a caddy that the local NH dealer had, but when I asked about parts all they could say is "I think the guy in Victoria can still get them..." That's not very reassuring. It sold, went for a song actually, but sure makes you leery-- without parts ANYTHING will eventually become a lawn ornament or scrap iron...

Personally I think they had TOO many irons in the fire... end up competing against yourself. Having 3 different tractor lines (orange, silver, and red) plus 2 different brands of combines (red and silver) in both rotary and conventional, Hesston hay tools and Massey hay tools, etc. etc... every unit of one brand you sell is a lost sale in another brand you own. Kinda crazy.

I guess maybe they're still strong in some regions or some market segments in certain areas, but overall, I don't hardly see anything but green and some red and blue stuff anymore in this part of the world...

Later! OL J R :)

I find it interesting they included Same. I knew about Same from playing farming simulator. Never knew they imported orchard tractors to the US. Wasn't for very long because Same-Lamborghini- Hurlimann tractors haven't been imported since

People seem to forget that Agco stands for Allis gleaner Corp. seem that Agco them selves tend to forget that with them not building the orange tractor anymore

freaking love this

AGCO: Its The Best For Farm Equipment, Hands Down, I Love Agco

More corporate propaganda.

Well, this was dated!

Agco SUCKS.

Agco .big company made up of big failures

It’s like they completely forgot allis

Seems whoever made this video doesn't know where AGCO came from, or they were ashamed of it for some reason even though Allis had a lot more class and better reputation than after they turned into AGCO

Man I miss just hesston equipment not Massey bs

I owned was 2 air cooled Deutz’s…. Never needed a single part for 25 years and replaced them with 2 Hesston’s that were just as reliable but ran on 25% less fuel…. Was amazing!! Had a small David Brown with a blade just to clean the barnyard only thing is ever needed was 4 tires and 2 front rims in 49 years. All from the same dealership before these guy came along…..
