Not at all, based on my ovservations in my region (some 100 miles around in any direction) we have (my suggestion):

30% Fendt tractors

30% John Deere tractors

20% Case International tractors

15% Deutz tractors

5 % other brands

Continuing April 5, 2007, with forming beds for potatos:

Same day, same field:

Delivering fresh planting potatos, which will be used for making chips & crisps of the famous German brand "Funny Frisch"
