All these features and AC still went bankrupt. Case was bought by Tenneco , to stay afloat. Oliver and Minneapolis Moline merged.

EZ570 White leveraged their way in and raided them to support their poor management of what they had, then bought MM. They started using components from each Ag line to build tractors and built a tractor shell with Perkins, Cummins, and in the end some foreign junk engines that resembled nothing but Cookie cutter tractors wearing silver, orange, or red and gray paint. Sad.

I bought a new White 2-105 in 1979 and it was sent back 3 times to the dealer at my expense to have the transmission fixed. It jumped out of gear in 2nd and 5th gear going down hill. The dealer "Farnsworth Farm Supplies" worked on it repeatedly, and even sent out a new 2-110 so that I could farm with that while my 2-105 was torn apart. I sold it for next to nothing as the resale value was lousy. Farmers have such a low profitability that purchasing one defective machine can end your farm career. Kubota, Yanmar, Kioti, Manhydra, can import their products and somehow survive.

And the unions never learn... Same us vs them mentality, same obstructionist tactics, same pigheaded stubbornness. They don't care if they run every member out of a job as long as the dues keep rolling in. And above all- the same refusal to accept ANY responsibility for the decline of industry and manufacturing in North America. (I say that, because the Canadians are suffering right alongside us.)

I don't think anything was wrong with the product any of thoes companies made. I think it was poor business management.

I didn't see AC mentioned. That glassed in cab would feel like a greenhouse I think. None of our tractors had cabs so I don't know. At least on a car or truck you are going fast enough to get some air in. Anyone here work in a tractor cab with no air? Is it as miserable as I think?

Yes you are right, with no AC, it's a green house! Had one of these without AC, never again!
