The North American Equipment Dealers Association (NAEDA) is pleased to announce the release of its Dealer-Manufacturer Relations Report for 2023. This annual report is a compilation of anonymous ratings by equipment dealers in North America of the manufacturer lines they carry based on general categories related to the business operations between dealers and manufacturers. Equipment dealers rate their manufacturers in 11 business categories plus a separate rating for overall satisfaction.

The report has been sent to all NAEDA members, who receive a complimentary copy as a benefit of membership, as well as the 62 manufacturers rated in the report. Dealers who are not members of NAEDA can purchase a copy of the report here. Look for in-depth coverage in the September issue of Farm Equipment.

Each year, only the manufacturers who receive minimum numbers of ratings are included in the report. Manufacturer members of NAEDA are eligible to receive additional statistics not available in the basic report as well as their dealer comments.

In 2023...

2,500 individuals participated in the survey.
Responses were collected from 50 U.S. states and 9 Canadian provinces.
On average, each respondent rated four manufacturers.
84% of responses were from dealership owners or managers.

Lyrics:

My days begin with workin’, Alarm’s at 5 o’clock,
I Fill 5 gallon buckets, The feeders and the troughs,
This five to nine ain’t workin’, why the heck do I work so hard?,
I can’t worry ‘bout health problems, I can sleep in when I’m gone,

One, here comes the two to the three to the four,
Tell em’ ‘buy another cow, we need plenty more’,
Blue jeans are gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
There’s another flock of sheep that still needs feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

I’ve been working pretty stressed but,
I ain’t changing for some cash,
Lord knows that I’m very blessed (More chores),
But I gotta say it’s hard,
Workin’ outside gettin’ charred,
Living out here on the farm, (more chores)

One, here comes the two to the three to the four,
Tell em’ ‘buy another cow, we need plenty more’,
Blue jeans are gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history
There’s another 20 chickens that still need feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Everybody on the farm getting’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Fun, here on ranch that’s what you can’t ignore,
Might be pretty hard but I love it to its core,
Flannel’s gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores (Tell ‘em sing with me)

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
There’s another flock of sheep that still needs feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
Watching cattle in the dark, don’t miss me,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
(Yeeeeeehaw)
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
It’s the best bro, go get yourself a farm
