Same thing happened to us with ford motor company, we owned the buildings, the lot etc. we started pushing the sales on backhoes and they told us that the other local dealer would handle the industrial sales, not us, after we sold 29 hoes to the power company, niagara mohawk, which took a while to get them to purchase ford, we also had a lot of sales to other people in the construction industry, agricultural sales were dropping, although the tractors were good models, you could not win with the corporate mentality. Can you imagine, to their own demise, they were telling us not to sell their product in not so many words, favoring another dealer for industrial sales and we were outselling them in that area. Unfortunately it led to the demise of our long time dealership. Our place was around since 9N's were on the lot and continuously in business until the mid 70's. JD was more popular with the farmers here, but there was always a market for the fords, especially in the utility, and mowing arena, popular with schools etc.
