I am from the western Finger Lakes region in New York. It did not work that way around here for the most part. There were guys who were going to buy other than NI corn pickers or NH balers. If I had to guess each had a simple majority of maybe 55-60 percent of the market. I think the JD 7000 planter when it came out in the 1970's and in the 1980's were more dominant than the examples you gave but certainly were not built here. I would be hard pressed to name a product that had 70,75 or more percent share of the market here. As a side note but still interesting to me anyways was the success that NH had in recruiting dealers and in turn having them cut each other's throat to sell product. In some places NH was less than 15 minutes away in four different directions. No NH dealer was going to make price so to speak. He got the product out the door then waited for the customer to come in for parts. A former IH salesman told me that NH was better on volume orders versus IH and coupled with other NH dealer pressure most often a NH product went out of the yard over an IH when each offered a similar product such as a forage harvester. There were three large IH dealers matched up with NH and the fact that these guys rolled out 806's, 1066's, whatever kept the blockman off their backs from not pushing hay and forage as hard. In any event NH still had pretty good products in a lot of areas but they had a pretty good arrangement with their dealers. If any Oliver, AC, Case, or Ford dealer got too mad that they wanted to quit NH they would look at the tractor builder line that they were handling and realized that they did not have much to offer if they quit NH.
