I think AGCO seems to be taking NA fairly seriously....they are moving the NA tractors to the AgChem/Challenger plant.   The Fendt design doesn't really fit the NA market, so there is no reason to try to sell something that doesn't really work...just put the tech in the tractors which fit here.

I think Claas is scared of getting overextended trying to bring a product they lack experience with to a market they lack experience with.  Probably a reasonably wise decision for them to take it slow.
