There was a small manufacturer here who said the same thing about the big operations quite a few years ago. The owner said some of the dealers around were all excited about the possibility of selling big units to big producers. They made wagons and feeding equipment and sold direct to farmers with no outside dealers. In the 60's and 70's they were thriving. The BTOs put them out of business.
