Green and Red/Blue have been demanding mega-stores and other genius things from dealers (Do you think a dealer needs a "customer lounge"?), especially in the last 5-10 years, pushing solvent and sensible dealers out to pave the way for the Titan mega-chains of the world. It's always supposed to be for the betterment of the customer, but it seldom works out that way. Perhaps finally what has been done onto the customer will be done to the manufacturer.

And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
