Although I don’t know anything about the financials or sales numbers, during the period before the acquisition, back when Allis was building the 190XTs, there were a lot of farmers in my area that had problems behind the engine. I don’t remember if it was transmissions or rear ends. I suspect it was due people turning up the horsepower to pull ever larger tillage equipment, but in any event a whole lot of Allis farmers I knew went green or red after that fiasco. The new series after that seemed to be quite a bit better, but the market share had already taken a hit, I suspect.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">John S.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><span style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;" class="">Allis had one foot in the grave before Deutz signed on.</span><br style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;" class=""><br style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;" class=""><span style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;" class="">On Wed, Nov 13, 2019, 8:37 AM Cecil Bearden <</span><a href="mailto:crbearden@copper.net" style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;" class="">crbearden@copper.net</a><span style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;" class="">> wrote:</span><br style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;" class=""><br style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;" class=""><blockquote type="cite" style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;" class="">Sounds like the Deutz-Allis screwup.
