You people are sharp with knowing the answer to triva.
Here is a question, see if any knows.
When White took control of MM., Oliver, and Cockshutt, why did they paint the combines red?
 
May have been to keep Canadian market share. Farmers were used to buying red tractors and combines up there from the Cockshutt brand.
 
if they were grey it would have resembled the gleaner and of course then it mattered now it wouldn't be an issue since the greatness of agco owns them all
 
Simply because they changed the name of everything to White and started painting the tractors Argent Silver and the combines and implements red. I have a green 7300 combine,the later ones were red. There was no big conspiracy to uncover.

Who's agco? :eek:

Guess they ain't so great after all. Guess I'll just have to buy a Deer or Fiat. :lol:

(quoted from post at 11:25:14 05/21/15) AGCO companies sold lots of Fiat tractors so you'll still be getting something good.

As long as it's a CASEIH branded FIAT I guess I could do worse. My big worry is service after the sale. We have good support for CASEIH/NH and JD. AGCO here is weak at best.

The way White ran things, probably because they got a train load of red paint for pennies on the dollar . . . .
