We have a small custom harvester in our area that runs 3 john deeres. I asked him once why he doesn't own any massey or gleaner machines and his answer suprised me but made senss.
He said it had NOTHING to do with the machine and he would be happy to own another color but it was his customers perception that held him back. He said most customers know nothing about any other brand as most grew up playing with John deere toy combines and that's just what they expect to roll in the driveway at harvest time. He said if he bought a massey, CAT, or Gleaner he was worried he would have to explain and justify his descision to every customer before he took off their crops because they would be leary of any other color. Not worth the effort in his mind!
Josh Moorefield i can appreciate where he is coming from, and that is a very logical theory. I'm not color blind, and believe Gleaner has a great combine. Still hard to overcome perception, as the above poster stated. |
