Around here we have CaseIH, JD, MF , Kubota , Mihindra , McCormack, JCB , Belarus, and Zetor franchise dealers all within 30-40 minutes drive. These dealerships carry such short lines as Pottinger , Kuhn , Hardy, McHale, Krine, Melroe , Hagedorn, Salford ,Lemmken , Houle manure tanks and pumps, If you have the money, there are plenty of places to spend it locally.
 
Within 20 miles we have Deere,Fiat,Agco,New Holland,Kubota, Mahindra ,kyote. They all carry other short lines like the Sunflower,Landoll,Kinze,Salford, and others I can't or don't remember now. IF I go out further I get more Deere, Fiat, McCormmick and more short lines not sure just what is out there further since we don't use a lot of the shorter lines with no livestock anymore. To get the construction models I have to go about an hour or more for them. Lansing GRand Rapids Detroit,Saginaw Gets Cat Deere and more I never researched what was out there for that.
 
About the same here in mid Western Ontario.....similar with main brand car/truck dealers. Gotta drive over an hour to get to a VW or Mazda or Kia etc. dealer

there is a deere dealership about 5 miles away, new holland and kioti dealership is about 4 miles away, kabota is 9 miles away, mahrinda is about 11 miles away.
 
Kubota dealer is in town, midway between my 2 places. It takes more time to put kubota on the trailer and strap it down than it does to get to the dealer 7 miles away.
 
We would have an AGCO (including MF, Fendt, Sunflower, Gleaner, White, Hesston, etc) dealer 15 miles away, another AGCO dealer (a different entity) 20 miles the other direction, two Deere stores of the same dealership within 25 miles, two CaseIH/New Holland stores of the same dealer within 45 miles, and Kubota about 40 miles. Major short-line brands sold by these dealers include Great Plains, Kuhn/Krause, Crustbuster, Landoll, MacDon, JCB, Kinze, and others. With independent side-job dealerships we would have LS tractors 10 miles away, Vermeer at about 25 miles, and McHale about 20 miles away.
 
Back in the 80s we had machinery hill, was Ford IHC Agco all at a crossroads. JD was just down the hill in town. All about 6 miles from me.

I remember the Oliver dealer in the 60s, other end of town.

Nothing now. The Ford dealer was a Kubota only deal, then just general tractor mechanic shop at the end. Their auction was what a decade ago? All dealers gone.

Jd and Case IH are 25 miles away. 3 good different Agco dealers are 45-55 minutes away. 2 New Holland are 45-55 minutes away.

Short line there is a shop 7 miles away that does Vermeer, and lots of other odds and ends. Others you really have to check the dealerships around in 100 miles to figure out where to find what.

Speed limit in town is 40.
Most go 50.
I drop it off for service and pick it up the next day.
I would have to have someone pick me up at dealer then drop me off the next day.
Easier to trailer it.
 
For me it is a hour drive each direction. I was lucky for alot of years. I would look up the part number for my case tractors and combines and called Link Imp ( over 2 hours away) I still look up my own numbers first before calling other dealerships. Problem is newer counter people have a hard time how to get the older OEM numbers to supercede to current numbers.

my local dealer sells NH, MF, and Agco. they're about a 20 minute drive. there's another dealer a similar distance from me, but i would never give them my money so they don't count :)
 
90 miles for deere and Kubota one way. 150 miles for case one way. So I trie to keep parts on hand the trick is to remember what I have and where it is.
 
JD has three locations within a half hour. CIH has two stores within a half hour. NH has two locations within a half hour. AGCO has one location within a half hour but does little with legacy parts. It came on around a decade ago and is aimed at residential sales in the Rochester, NY suburbs. A deeper AGCO store is over 2 hours away towards Buffalo but it mostly geared towards MH and MF. AC and White parts can be ordered from what I am told. Used to be a half dozen White dealers within 45 minutes around 1980.
 
Your still in rural agriculture area. Once a locality urbanizes you lose a lot of AG equipment availability. In the 1980s we had 10 or more dealers in Baldwin county Alabama. Now 4? Deere New Holland Kubota 1agco that carries Kioti. The Deere dealer is full range AG, then the Nh, then Kubota. But all probably move more units of construction and landscaping equipment. So 20 miles, but if your in certain areas of AG like dairy, cattle, vegetable farming don't expect it to be on the lot. It'll be large agreage row crop equipment and implement followed by 50hp and under, landscape eqpt and construction
