OK saying AC had the first round baler is stretching things a bit. How about the first, widely used round baler. The Roto Baler was anything but a widely used, long term successful baler. Few years back I looked up some production numbers and for just one year with only one model NH sold 10 times as many square balers as AC did their round baler. In fact one years production of NH square balers was more than the total production of the Roto baler. Now add in what JD, Case, IH and others sold the Roto baler had a tiny market share. AC did not have the first turbo tractor, Cat did by about 6 years and yes, they sold that model as both a dozer and AG tractor. SO what if it had steel tracks. CHI didn't invent the quad track. Cat did that too back in the early 60's. Sure was just experimental but they developed and tested a quad track design for their articulated loaders with steel tracks. Improvements in mining tires did away with the need before Cat could put it in production. For others who claim first's, Cat was selling AG crawlers, farm tractors in other words with diesel engines in 1933. Yea they beat IH there. I believe it was Cockshutt that had the first live PTO and JD has IPTO available as an option on the 1948 R. First power shift was Cat too in the 50's on the D9. Granted most if not all of those sold to the construction industry.
But getting this back in line with the OP's comments: I wonder what management at AGCO is thinking. When you start loosing whole areas because selling a new piece of equipment is more important than supporting what you have already sold then your future isn't nearly as bright as one could hope.
