Missouri & Wisconsin get new AGCO dealerships

 

AGCO is strengthening its presence in the Midwest. The company has announced plans to expand its dealership network in Missouri and Wisconsin. This strategic move aims to enhance farmer support and accessibility to its renowned brands, including Fendt, Massey Ferguson, and PTx.

To achieve this, AGCO is partnering with experienced dealerships - Brookfield Tractor, Parallel Ag, McFarlane Manufacturing Company, and Vanderloop Equipment. These dealers will expand their operations to cover areas previously served by Ziegler Ag Equipment, which is focusing on its operations in other states.

Farmers in central Missouri and southern Wisconsin can expect seamless service continuity as AGCO and its new dealerships implement comprehensive customer care plans.

Dedicated support teams will be in place to assist farmers during the transition and introduce new product offerings.

This expansion underscores AGCO's commitment to the farming community. By increasing its dealer network, the company aims to provide farmers with easier access to advanced agricultural equipment and technologies.
