BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended
	Jan. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Nature of Business
	Titan Machinery Inc. (the "Company") is engaged in the retail sale, service and rental of agricultural and construction machinery through stores in the United States and Europe. The Company's North American stores are located in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming, and its European stores are located in Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine.
	Seasonality
	The agricultural and construction equipment businesses are highly seasonal, which causes our quarterly results and our available cash flow to fluctuate during the year. Farmers generally purchase agricultural equipment in preparation for, or in conjunction with, the spring planting and fall harvesting seasons. In addition, the fourth quarter typically is a significant period for equipment sales in the U.S. because of our customers’ year-end tax planning considerations, the timing of dealer incentives and the increase in availability of funds from completed harvests.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant accounts, transactions and profits between the consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
	The accounts of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are consolidated as of December 31 of each year. No events occurred related to these subsidiaries in January 2014 that would have materially affected the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	Reclassifications
	Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, including the consolidated statements of cash flows and segment reporting, to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.
	Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, particularly related to realization of inventory, initial valuation and impairment analyses of intangible assets and goodwill, collectability of receivables, and income taxes.
	Concentrations of Credit Risk
	The Company's sales are to agricultural and construction equipment customers principally in the states and European countries in which its stores are located. The Company extends credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business and monitors its customers' financial condition to minimize its risks associated with trade receivables; however, the Company does not generally require collateral on trade receivables.
	The Company's cash balances are maintained in bank deposit accounts, which are in excess of federally insured limits.
	Concentrations in Operations
	The Company currently purchases new equipment, rental equipment and the related parts from a limited number of manufacturers. Although no change in suppliers is anticipated, the occurrence of such a change could cause a possible loss of sales and adversely affect operating results. The Company is the holder of authorized dealerships granted by CNH America, LLC and CNH International SA (collectively referred to "CNH") whereby it has the right to act as an authorized dealer for the entities' equipment. The dealership authorizations and floorplan payable facilities can be cancelled by the respective entity if the Company does not observe certain established guidelines and covenants.
	In addition, the Company believes that the following factors related to concentrations in suppliers, and in particular CNH, have a significant impact on our operating results:
	•CNH's product offerings, reputation and market share
	•CNH's product prices and incentive and discount programs
	•Supply of inventory from CNH
	•CNH provides floorplan payable financing for the purchase of a substantial portion of our inventory
	•	CNH provides a significant percentage of the financing used by our customers to purchase CNH equipment from us.
	Receivables and Credit Policy
	Trade accounts receivable due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Balances unpaid after 30 days are considered past due and begin to accrue interest. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer's remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices. Trade accounts receivable due from manufacturers relate to discount programs, incentive programs and repair services performed on equipment with a remaining factory warranty. Trade accounts receivable due from finance companies primarily consist of contracts in transit with finance companies and balances due from credit card companies. These receivables do not generally have established payment terms but are collected in relatively short time periods.
	The carrying amount of trade receivables is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management reviews aged receivable balances and estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. Account balances are charged off after all appropriate means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
	Inventories
	New and used equipment are stated at the lower of cost (specific identification) or market value with adjustments for decreases in market value on inventory rented but available for sale, estimated as a percentage of the rental income received on such inventory. All new and used equipment inventories, including that which has been rented, are subject to periodic lower of cost or market evaluation that considers various factors including aging of equipment and market conditions. Equipment inventory values are adjusted whenever the carrying amount exceeds the estimated market value. Parts inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market value. An estimate of parts inventories not expected to be sold in the next year has been reported separately, which is based on historical sales of parts on hand. The Company estimates a reserve on its parts inventories based on various factors including aging and sales of each type of parts inventory. Work in process is valued at the retail rates of labor incurred and parts inventories used on service work in process at year end.
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset, as summarized below:
	Buildings and leasehold improvements	Lesser of 10 - 40 years or lease term
	Machinery and equipment	3 - 10 years
	Furniture and fixtures	3 - 10 years
	Vehicles	5 - 10 years
	Rental fleet	3 - 10 years
	Depreciation for income tax reporting purposes is computed using accelerated methods.
	Goodwill
	Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets, including identifiable intangible assets, of the businesses acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events or when circumstances indicate that impairment may be present. The Company performs its annual impairment test as of the end of its fiscal year.
	Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. The Company identified four reporting units which carried a goodwill balance prior to impairment recorded in the current year: the Agriculture operating segment, the Construction operating segment, and the Romanian and Serbian components within the International operating segment.
	The goodwill impairment analysis is performed under a two-step impairment model. Step one of the analysis compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. However, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The second step measures the amount of impairment loss, if any, by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill, which is estimated by comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. An impairment charge is recognized for any excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value. See Note 5 for details and results of the Company's impairment testing in the years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013.
	Intangible Assets
	Intangible assets with a finite life consist of customer relationships and covenants not to compete, and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes the cost of identified intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which is three for customer relationships and the contractual term for covenants not to compete, which range from three to ten.
	Intangible assets with an indefinite life consist of distribution rights with manufacturers. Distribution rights are classified as an indefinite-lived intangible asset because the Company's distribution agreements continue indefinitely by their terms, or are routinely awarded or renewed without substantial cost or material modifications to the underlying agreements. As such, the Company believes that its distribution rights intangible assets will contribute to its cash flows for an indefinite period; therefore, the carrying amount of distribution rights is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events or when circumstances indicate that impairment may be present. The Company performs its annual impairment test as of December 31st of each year. The impairment test is performed by comparing the carrying value to its estimated fair value.
	Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at the lowest level in which identifiable cash flows can be attributed to the asset. The Company has determined that the lowest level of cash flows which can be attributed to the distribution rights intangible assets is equal to the store, or complex of stores, acquired in the business combination which resulted in the initial recognition of the intangible asset, plus any additional store locations operating within the geographical area of the distribution rights. See Note 5 for details and results of the Company's impairment testing in the years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	The Company's long-lived assets consist of property and equipment and intangible assets. These assets are reviewed for potential impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of such assets to their carrying values. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, the carrying value is considered recoverable and no impairment recognition is required. However, if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, the second step of the impairment analysis must be performed to measure the amount of the impairment, if any. The second step of the impairment analysis compares the estimated fair value of the long-lived asset to its carrying value and any amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value is recognized as an impairment charge.
	As of January 31, 2014, the Company determined that the current period operating loss combined with historical losses and anticipated future operating losses within certain of its stores in its Construction segment was an indication that certain long-lived assets of these stores may not be recoverable. The asset types included in the assessment included immovable long-lived assets (e.g., leasehold improvements) and other assets in which it would be impracticable to redeploy to other locations (e.g., furniture and fixtures). The Company performed the impairment analyses for these assets and determined that the carrying values are not recoverable based on its estimates of future undiscounted cash flows under step one of the impairment analysis. Based on this conclusion, step two of the impairment analysis was performed and estimated the fair value of these assets using a discounted cash flow model. The results of the analyses indicated that a full impairment charge was necessary, and thus an impairment loss of $1.5 million, was recognized and included in the Impairment amount in the consolidated statements of operations, all of which impacted the Construction segment.
	Derivative Instruments
	In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to risk from adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and benchmark interest rates. The Company manages its market risk exposures through a program that includes the use of derivative instruments, primarily foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate derivatives. The Company's objective in managing its exposure to market risk is to minimize the impact on earnings, cash flows and the consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
	All outstanding derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The effect on earnings from recognizing the fair value of the derivative instrument depends on its intended use, the hedge designation, and the effectiveness in offsetting the exposure of the underlying hedged item. Changes in fair values of instruments designated to reduce or eliminate fluctuations in the fair values of recognized assets and liabilities and unrecognized firm commitments are reported currently in earnings along with the change in the fair value of the hedged items. Changes in the effective portion of the fair values of derivative instruments used to reduce or eliminate fluctuations in cash flows of forecasted transactions are reported in other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders' equity. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to earnings when the related hedged items affect earnings or the anticipated transactions are no longer probable. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated to reduce or eliminate fluctuations in the net investment of a foreign subsidiary are reported in other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are reported currently in earnings.
	For derivative instruments accounted for as hedging instruments, the Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the manner by which the effectiveness of the hedging instrument will be evaluated. At each reporting period after inception, the Company evaluates the hedging instrument's effectiveness in reducing or eliminating the underlying hedged exposure. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in earnings immediately.
	Fair Value Measurements
	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:
	Level 1—Values derived from unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
	Level 2—Values derived from observable inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active.
	Level 3—Values derived from unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available, thereby requiring the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
	In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
	Customer Deposits
	Customer deposits consist of advance payments from customers, in the form of cash or equipment to be traded-in.
	Income Taxes
	The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in its provision for income taxes in the period of the change.
	The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured as the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. Changes in the recognition or measurement of such positions are reflected in its provision for income taxes in the period of the change. The Company's policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters within its provision for income taxes.
	Earnings Per Share
The Company uses the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share. Unvested restricted stock awards are considered participating securities because they entitle holders to non-forfeitable rights to dividends during the vesting term. Under the two-class method, basic earnings per share were computed by dividing net income attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. after allocation of income to participating securities by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share were computed by dividing net income attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. after allocation of income to participating securities by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding after adjusting for potential dilution related to the conversion of all dilutive securities into common stock. All potentially dilutive securities were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. There were approximately 99,000, 10,000 and 119,000 stock options outstanding as of January 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. None of the approximately 3,474,000 shares underlying the Company's Senior Convertible Notes were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the Company's average stock price was less than the conversion price of $43.17.
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Revenue Recognition
Equipment revenue is generally recognized upon receipt of a signed sales contract and delivery of product to customers. However, in certain circumstances customers request a bill and hold arrangement, in which case equipment revenue is recognized before delivery occurs. Under these bill and hold arrangements, the equipment is available for shipment, the Company has fulfilled all of its pre-delivery performance obligations and received a signed sales contract, and the customer has completed and signed a bill and hold agreement. Credit terms on bill and hold arrangements are consistent with credit terms on all other equipment sales. Parts revenue is recognized upon delivery of product to customers. Service revenue is recognized at the time the related services are provided. Rental revenue is recognized over the period of the related rental agreement. In addition to outright sales of new and used equipment, certain rental agreements may include rent-to-purchase options. Under these agreements, customers are given a period of time to exercise an option to purchase the related equipment, with a portion of the rental payments being applied to reduce the purchase price. Payments received during the rental period are recorded as rental revenue. Any such equipment is included in inventory until the purchase option is exercised, and the carrying value of the equipment is reduced in accordance with the Company's aforementioned policy. Equipment revenue is recognized upon the exercise of the purchase option.
Sales, Excise and Value Added Taxes
The Company has customers in states and municipalities in which those governmental units impose a sales tax on certain sales. The U.S. federal government imposes excise taxes on certain sales. Certain governments of the foreign countries in which the Company operates impose value added taxes on certain sales. The Company collects those sales and excise taxes from its customers and remits the entire amount to the various governmental units. The Company's accounting policy is to exclude the tax collected and remitted from revenue and cost of revenue.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are recorded as cost of revenue and amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs are recorded in revenue.
Lessor Accounting
The Company leases equipment from its rental fleet and equipment inventory to customers on operating leases over periods primarily less than one year. These leases require a minimum rental payment and contingent rental payment based on machine hours. Rental revenue totaled $68.6 million, $54.6 million and $42.0 million for the years ended January 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of January 31, 2014, the Company had $145.0 million of rental fleet included in property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation of $29.1 million. As of January 31, 2013, the Company had $105.7 million of rental fleet included in property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation of $16.8 million.
Manufacturer Incentives and Discounts
The Company receives various manufacturer incentives and discounts, which are based on a variety of factors. The Company accounts for such programs in accordance with the provisions of ASC 605-50, Customer's Accounting for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor. Discounts and incentives related to the purchase of inventory are recognized as a reduction of inventory prices and recognized as a reduction of cost of revenue when the related inventory is sold. Sales-related discounts and incentives are recognized as a reduction of cost of revenue when the related inventory is sold. Financing-related incentives are recognized as other income when earned. Other incentives, reflecting reimbursement of qualifying expenses, are recognized as a reduction of the related expense when earned.
Advertising Costs
Costs incurred for producing and distributing advertising are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense amounted to $5.9 million, $5.6 million and $4.3 million for the years ended January 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Comprehensive Income and Foreign Currency Matters
For the Company, comprehensive income represents net income adjusted for foreign currency items, including foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on net investment hedge, interest rate and cash flow derivative instruments. For its foreign subsidiaries in which their local currency is their functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date exchange rate. Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded directly as other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders' equity. For its foreign subsidiaries in which the local currency is not the functional currency, prior to translation into U.S. dollars, amounts must first be remeasured from the local currency into the functional currency. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the balance sheet date exchange rate. Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Foreign currency remeasurement adjustments are included in the statement of operations.
The Company recognized a net foreign currency transaction gain of $0.9 million for the year ended January 31, 2013, exclusive of the loss recognized on the foreign exchange contacts disclosed in Note 9. The impact of foreign currency transactions was immaterial for the years ended January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2012.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. This guidance requires that stock-based compensation, which includes stock options and restricted stock, be accounted for at the fair value of the applicable equity instrument. Additional information regarding stock-based compensation is summarized in Note 15.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires the purchase price to be allocated amongst the assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed based on the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. This guidance allows the acquirer to finalize the acquisition accounting during the measurement period, which may not exceed one year from the date of acquisition. During the measurement period the Company's accounting for the business combination transaction may be based on estimates due to various unknown factors present at the date of acquisition.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates its business in three reportable segments, the Agriculture, Construction and International segments, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Information regarding these segments is summarized in Note 19.
Exit and Disposal Costs
The Company accounts for exit or disposal activities, including store closures, in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. Such costs mainly include lease termination costs and employee termination costs. The Company records a liability at the net present value of the remaining lease obligations, net of estimated sublease income, as of the date the Company ceases using the property. Any subsequent adjustments to that liability as a result of changes in estimates are recorded in the period incurred. The Company records a liability for employee termination costs at the date the termination benefits were communicated to the employees.
In the year ended January 31, 2014, the Company closed one of its Construction stores in Billings, Montana and merged it with the Company's other store in Billings, Montana. The primary cost of closing this location related to accrual of lease payments, which totaled $0.3 million, all of which was recognized by the Construction segment. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability balance follows:

	The Company acquired intangible assets with finite lives, consisting of covenants not to compete totaling $0.2 million with a weighted-average amortization period of 5.0 years, as part of the business combinations during the year ended January 31, 2014. The Company acquired intangible assets with finite lives, consisting of covenants not to compete totaling $0.3 million with a weighted-average amortization period of 3.7 years and customer relationships totaling $0.4 million with a weighted-average amortization period of 3.0 years, as part of the business combinations completed during the year ended January 31, 2013. Amortization expense was $0.8 million, $0.8 million and $0.6 million for the years ended January 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	The Company performs the annual impairment testing of its indefinite lived distribution rights intangible assets as of December 31st of each year. Under the impairment test, the fair value of distribution rights intangible assets is estimated based on a multi-period excess earnings model, an income approach. This model allocates future estimated earnings of the store/complex amongst working capital, fixed assets and other intangible assets of the store/complex and any remaining earnings (the “excess earnings”) are allocated to the distribution rights intangible assets. The earnings allocated to the distribution rights are then discounted to arrive at the present value of the future estimated excess earnings, which represents the estimated fair value of the distribution rights intangible asset. The discount rate applied reflects the Company's estimate of the weighted-average cost of capital of comparable companies plus an additional risk premium to reflect the additional risk inherent in the distribution right asset.
	The results of the Company's impairment testing for the year ended January 31, 2014 indicated that the estimated fair value of certain distribution rights assets approximated zero, thus requiring a full impairment charge equal to the carrying values of such assets. In total, an impairment charge of $2.0 million was recognized and included in the Impairment amount in the consolidated statements of operations. No impairment charges were recognized during the year ended January 31, 2013.
	The impairment charges recognized within the Construction and International segments arose as the result lowered expectations of the future financial performance of these stores (complexes). The Company's assumptions about future financial performance were impacted by the current year operating performance of these stores (complexes) and by the anticipated impact that challenging industry conditions may have on the future financial performance of these stores (complexes).
	Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 are summarized as follows:
		Agriculture		Construction			International			Total
		(in thousands)
	Balance at January 31, 2012	$	19,765	$	3,767		$	872		$	24,404
	Arising in completed business combinations	1,600		1,500			102			3,202

	Impairment	—		(5,338		)	(923		)	(6,261		)
	Foreign currency translation adjustment	—		—			38			38
	Balance at January 31, 2014	$	24,642	$	—		$	109		$	24,751
	The adjustment to goodwill arising from business combinations completed in prior years is the result of additional consideration earned and paid pursuant to business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting which required that additional consideration be recognized once all contingencies have been resolved and that such consideration be included as an additional cost of the entity and therefore recognized as goodwill.
	The Company performs its annual impairment testing of goodwill at the end of each fiscal year. Under the impairment test, the fair value of its reporting units is estimated using both a market approach which applies multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of comparable guideline public companies to that of the Company's reporting units, and an income approach in which a discounted cash flow analysis is utilized which includes a five-year forecast of future operating performance for each of the reporting units and a terminal value which estimates sustained long-term growth. The discount rate applied to the estimated future cash flows reflects an estimate of the weighted-average cost of capital of comparable companies.
	The impairment test for the year ended January 31, 2014 indicated that the fair value of the Company's Agriculture reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and thus no impairment was recognized. For the Company's Construction and Romanian reporting units, step one of the impairment analysis indicated that the estimated fair value of each reporting unit was less than the carrying value, thus requiring the performance of step two of the impairment analysis. In each instance, the second step of the impairment analysis indicated that the implied fair value of the goodwill associated with the reporting unit approximated zero, thus requiring a full impairment charge of the goodwill carrying value of each reporting unit. As such, total goodwill impairment charge of $6.3 million was recognized as of January 31, 2014 and included in the Impairment amount in the consolidated statements of operations. No impairment charges were recognized during the year ended January 31, 2013.
	The impairment charges recognized during the year ended January 31, 2014 within the Construction and Romanian reporting units arose as the result of lowered expectations of future financial performance of these reporting units and a lower market capitalization for the Company as a whole. The assumptions about future financial performance was impacted by the current year operating performance and by the anticipated impact that challenging industry conditions existing as of the assessment date and anticipated to be present over the near-term may have on the future financial performance of these reporting units.

LINES OF CREDIT/FLOORPLAN NOTES PAYABLE	'
	FLOORPLAN PAYABLE/LINES OF CREDIT
	Floorplan payable balances reflect the amount owed for new equipment inventory purchased from a manufacturer and used equipment inventory, which is primarily purchased through trade-in on equipment sales. Certain of the manufacturers from which the Company purchases new equipment inventory offer financing on these purchases, either offered directly from the manufacturer or through the manufacturers’ captive finance subsidiaries. CNH's captive finance subsidiaries, CNH Capital, also provides financing of used equipment inventory. The Company also has floorplan payable balances with non-manufacturer lenders for new and used equipment inventory. Changes in manufacturer floorplan payable are reported as operating cash flows and changes in non-manufacturer floorplan payable are reported as financing cash flows in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows.
	As of January 31, 2014, the Company had discretionary floorplan payable lines of credit for equipment purchases totaling approximately $1.2 billion, which includes a $350.0 million Floorplan Payable Line with a group of banks led by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), a $450.0 million credit facility with CNH Capital, a $225.0 million credit facility with Agricredit Acceptance LLC ("Agricredit") and the U.S. dollar equivalent of $150.7 million in credit facilities related to our foreign subsidiaries. Floorplan payable relating to these credit facilities totaled approximately $692.8 million of the total floorplan payable balance of $750.5 million outstanding as of January 31, 2014 and $662.2 million of the total floorplan payable balance of $689.4 million outstanding as of January 31, 2013. As of January 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $410.7 million in available borrowings remaining under these lines of credit (net of adjustments based on borrowing base calculations and standby letters of credit under the Wells Fargo credit agreement, and rental fleet financing and other acquisition-related financing arrangements under the CNH Capital credit facility). These floorplan payables carried various interest rates primarily ranging from 2.78% to 7.25% as of January 31, 2014, subject to interest-free periods offered by CNH Capital. The following provides additional information regarding each of the Company's three significant floorplan lines of credit.
	Senior Secured Credit Facility—Operating and Floorplan Payable Lines of Credit
	As of January 31, 2014, the Company had an amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo, which provided for a $350.0 million wholesale floorplan line of credit (the "Floorplan Payable Line") and a $112.5 million working capital line of credit (the "Working Capital Line"). The amount available under the Floorplan Payable Line is reduced by adjustments based on borrowing base calculations and various standby letters of credit denominated in Euros and U.S. dollars used to guarantee equipment purchases from CNH by the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The credit agreement has a variable interest rate on outstanding balances of LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.5% to 2.630% per annum, depending upon the Company's consolidated leverage ratio, has a 0.3% to 0.4% non-usage fee on the average monthly unused amount and requires monthly payments of accrued interest. The credit agreement is secured by all assets of the Company, requires prior approval of acquisitions exceeding certain thresholds and contains certain financial covenants. These financial covenants impose a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 : 1.00; a maximum net leverage ratio of 3.25 : 1.00 through the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2014 and 3.00 : 1.00 from the fiscal quarter January 31, 2015 through August 31, 2018; and a minimum net income, adjusted for impairment charges recognized in the years ended January 31, 2014 and 2015 and realignment charges recognized in the year ended January 31, 2014 and the three months ended April 30, 2014, of $5.0 million for the four fiscal quarters ended October 31, 2014 and $10.0 million for each fiscal year ended thereafter. The credit agreement also restricts the Company's ability to make certain cash payments without prior approval, including payments for stock repurchases and cash dividends, except that it permits paying cash dividends in an amount not to exceed 50% of consolidated net income for the then trailing four quarters, so long as no default or event of default exists prior to or immediately following such action or otherwise results from such action. The credit agreement expires August 31, 2018.
	The Floorplan Payable Line is used to finance equipment inventory purchases. Amounts outstanding are recorded as floorplan payable, within current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, as the Company intends to repay amounts borrowed within one year.
	The Working Capital Line is used to finance working capital requirements of the Company. Amounts outstanding are recorded as long-term debt, within long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, as the Company does not have the intention or obligation to repay amounts borrowed within one year. The balances outstanding on the Working Capital Line as of January 31, 2014 and 2013 are disclosed in Note 8.
	CNH Capital Floorplan Payable Line of Credit
	As of January 31, 2014, the Company had a $450.0 million credit facility with CNH Capital. The available borrowings under the CNH Capital credit facility are reduced by outstanding floorplan payable, rental fleet financing and other acquisition-related financing arrangements with CNH Capital. The CNH Capital credit facility has interest rates equal to the prime rate plus 4% on new borrowings, subject to any interest-free periods offered by CNH Capital, and automatically renews on August 31 of each year unless earlier terminated by either party. Repayment terms vary by individual notes, but generally payments are made from sales proceeds or rental revenue from the related inventories. The balances outstanding with CNH Capital are secured by the related inventory. The CNH Capital credit facility contains certain financial covenants that impose a maximum level of adjusted debt to tangible net worth of 3.0 : 1.0 and a minimum debt service ratio of 1.2 : 1.0. It also contains various restrictive covenants that require prior consent of CNH Capital if the Company desires to engage in any acquisition of, consolidation or merger with any other business entity in which the Company is not the surviving company; create subsidiaries; move any collateral outside of the U.S.; or sell, rent, lease or otherwise dispose or transfer any of the collateral, other than in the ordinary course of business. CNH Capital's consent is also required for the acquisition of any CNH dealership. In addition, the CNH Capital credit facility restricts the Company's ability to incur any liens upon any substantial part of its assets.
	Agricredit Floorplan Payable Line of Credit
	As of January 31, 2014, the Company had a $225.0 million credit facility with Agricredit. The Agricredit credit facility may be used to purchase or refinance new and used equipment inventory and has a variable interest rate on outstanding balances of LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.75% to 5.25% per annum, depending upon the Company's average daily outstanding balance. The Agricredit credit facility allows for increase, decrease or termination of the credit facility by Agricredit on 90 days notice. Under covenants of the Agricredit credit facility, the Company had agreed, among other things, to maintain certain financial covenants that impose a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 : 1.00 and a maximum net leverage ratio of 3.25 : 1.00 as of January 31, 2014, to submit certain financial information, and to obtain prior consent from Agricredit if the Company desired to engage in any acquisition meeting certain financial thresholds. The maximum net leverage ratio will be 3.00 : 1.00 effective January 31, 2015. The balances outstanding with Agricredit are secured by the related inventory. Repayment terms vary by individual notes, but generally payments are made from sales proceeds or rental revenue from the related inventories.

SENIOR CONVERTIBLE NOTES	'
	SENIOR CONVERTIBLE NOTES
	On April 24, 2012, the Company issued through a private offering $150 million of 3.75% Senior Convertible Notes (the "Senior Convertible Notes"). The Senior Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.75% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on November 1, 2012. The Convertible Notes mature on May 1, 2019, unless earlier purchased by the Company, redeemed or converted.
	The Senior Convertible Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations; rank equal in right of payment to the Company's existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not subordinated; are effectively subordinated in right of payment to the Company's existing and future secured indebtedness; and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries.
	The Senior Convertible Notes are initially convertible into the Company's common stock at a conversion rate of 23.1626 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes, representing an initial effective conversion price of $43.17 per share of common stock. The conversion rate may be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events as provided in the indenture governing the Senior Convertible Notes, dated April 24, 2012 between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the "Indenture"), but will not be adjusted for accrued but unpaid interest. Upon conversion of a Senior Convertible Note, the Company will settle the conversion obligation in cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Convertible Note being converted, and any conversion obligation in excess thereof will be settled in cash, shares of the Company's common stock, or a combination thereof, at the Company's election, subject to certain limitations as defined in the Indenture.
	Holders of the Senior Convertible Notes may convert their notes at the applicable conversion rate under the following circumstances:
	i.	During any fiscal quarter commencing after July 31, 2012, if for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 120% of the applicable conversion price on such trading day.
	ii.	During the five consecutive business day period immediately following any five consecutive trading day period in which, for each trading day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes is less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock on such trading day and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day.
	iii.	If the Company calls any or all of the Senior Convertible Notes for redemption at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the redemption date.
	iv.	Upon the occurrence of corporate transactions specified in the Indenture.
	v.	At any time on and after February 1, 2019 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date.
	Holders of the Senior Convertible Notes who convert their Senior Convertible Notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change, as defined in the Indenture, may be entitled to a make-whole premium in the form of an increase to the conversion rate. In addition, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, as defined in the Indenture, holders of the Senior Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their Senior Convertible Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes to be purchased plus any accrued but unpaid interest.
	The number of shares the Company may deliver upon conversion of the Senior Convertible Notes will be subject to certain limitations, and the Company is subject to certain other obligations and restrictions related to such share caps, as described in the Indenture. On or after May 6, 2015, the Company may redeem for cash all or a portion of the Senior Convertible Notes if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock has been at least 120% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption.
	The Indenture provides for customary events of default, including, but not limited to, cross acceleration to certain other indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries. In the case of an event of default arising from specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Senior Convertible Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default under the Indenture occurs or is continuing, the trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Convertible Notes may declare all of the Senior Convertible Notes to be due and payable immediately.
	In accounting for the Senior Convertible Notes, the Company segregated the liability component of the instrument from the equity component. The liability component was measured by estimating the fair value of a non-convertible debt instrument that is similar in its terms to the Senior Convertible Notes. Fair value was estimated through discounting future interest and principal payments, an income approach, due under the Senior Convertible Notes at a discount rate of 7.00%, an interest rate equal to the estimated borrowing rate for similar non-convertible debt. The excess of the aggregate face value of the Senior Convertible Notes over the estimated fair value of the liability component is recognized as a debt discount which will be amortized over the expected life of the Senior Convertible Notes using the effective interest rate method. Amortization of the debt discount is recognized as non-cash interest expense.
	The equity component of the Senior Convertible Notes is measured as the residual difference between the aggregate face value of the Senior Convertible Notes and the estimated aggregate fair value of the liability component. The equity component will not be remeasured in subsequent periods provided that the component continues to meet the conditions necessary for equity classification.
	The transaction costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Senior Convertible Notes were allocated to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Transaction costs allocated to the liability component are being amortized using the effective interest rate method and recognized as non-cash interest expense over the expected term of the Senior Convertible Notes. Transaction costs allocated to the equity component reduced the value of the equity component recognized in stockholders' equity.

	Conversion price (per share of common stock)	$	43.17
	The unamortized debt discount will be amortized over a remaining period of approximately 5.25 years. The if-converted value as of January 31, 2014 does not exceed the principal balance of the Senior Convertible Notes. For the year ended January 31, 2014, the Company recognized coupon interest expense of $5.6 million, and non-cash interest expense of $3.2 million related to the amortization of the debt discount and $0.5 million related to the amortization of the liability-allocated transaction costs. For the year ended January 31, 2013, the Company recognized coupon interest expense of $4.3 million, and non-cash interest expense of $2.3 million related to the amortization of the debt discount and $0.4 million related to the amortization of the liability-allocated transaction costs. The effective interest rate of the liability component for the periods ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 was equal to 7.00%.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS	'
	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
	The Company holds derivative instruments for the purpose of minimizing exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and benchmark interest rates to which the Company is exposed in the normal course of its operations.
	Net Investment Hedges
	To protect the value of the Company's investments in its foreign operations against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company may, from time to time, hedge a portion of its net investment in one or more of its foreign subsidiaries. Gains and losses on derivative instruments that are designated and effective as a net investment hedge are included in other comprehensive income and only reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged net investment is sold or liquidated. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in earnings immediately.
	Cash Flow Hedges
	On October 9, 2013, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap instrument which has a notional amount of $100.0 million, an effective date of September 30, 2014 and a maturity date of September 30, 2018. The objective of the instrument is to, beginning on September 30, 2014, protect the Company from changes in benchmark interest rates to which the Company is exposed through certain of its variable interest rate credit facilities. The instrument provides for a fixed interest rate of 1.901% through the instrument's maturity date.
	The Company may, from time to time, hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk arising from inventory purchases denominated in Canadian dollars through the use of foreign currency forward contracts. The maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows associated with the Canadian dollar purchasing is less than 12 months.
	The interest rate swap instrument and foreign currency contracts have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments and accordingly changes in the effective portion of the fair value of the instruments are recorded in other comprehensive income and only reclassified into earnings in the period(s) in which the related hedged item affects earnings or the anticipated underlying hedged transactions are no longer probable of occurring. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in earnings immediately.
	Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
	The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the effects of fluctuations in exchange rates on outstanding intercompany loans. The Company does not formally designate and document such derivative instruments as hedging instruments; however, the instruments are an effective economic hedge of the underlying foreign currency exposure. Both the gain or loss on the derivative instrument and the offsetting gain or loss on the underlying intercompany loan are recognized in earnings immediately, thereby eliminating or reducing the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on net income.
	The following table sets forth the notional value of the Company's derivative instruments outstanding as of January 31, 2014 and 2013:

	As of January 31, 2014, the Company had $1.2 million and $0.2 million in pre-tax net unrealized losses associated with its interest rate swap and foreign currency contract cash flow hedging instruments recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, respectively. The Company expects that $0.5 million and $0.1 million of pre-tax unrealized losses associated with its interest rate swap and foreign currency contracts, respectively, will be reclassified into net income over the next 12 months.

	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
	Litigation
	The Company is engaged in proceedings incidental to the normal course of business. Due to their nature, such legal proceedings involve inherent uncertainties, including but not limited to, court rulings, negotiations between affected parties and governmental intervention. Based upon the information available to the Company and discussions with legal counsel, it is the Company's opinion that the outcome of the various legal actions and claims that are incidental to its business will not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Such matters, however, are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of any matter is not predictable with assurance.
	Other Matters
	The Company is the lessee under many real estate leases in which it agrees to indemnify the lessor from certain liabilities arising as a result of the use of the leased premises, including environmental liabilities, or a breach of the lease by the lessee. Additionally, from time to time, the Company enters into agreements with third parties in connection with the sale of assets in which it agrees to indemnify the purchaser from certain liabilities or costs arising in connection with the assets. Also, in the ordinary course of business in connection with purchases or sales of goods and services, the Company enters into agreements that may contain indemnification provisions. In the event that an indemnification claim is asserted, the Company's liability would be limited by the terms of the applicable agreement. See additional information on our operating lease commitments in Note 12.

	OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
	The Company leases 143 buildings under operating lease agreements with both related and unrelated parties, as well as office equipment and vehicles under various operating lease agreements. Rent and lease expense under all operating leases totaled $21.6 million, $17.3 million and $13.1 million during the years ended January 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The leases expire at various dates through January 2029. Certain leases have fluctuating minimum lease payments. The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease.
	The Company's store lease agreements contain lease periods primarily ranging from automatically renewable month-to-month terms to 15 years in length. Certain of the lease agreements contain terms such as an option to purchase the property at fair value, renew or extend the lease for an additional period at the conclusion of the original lease term or automatically renew the lease term at the conclusion of the original lease period on a month-to-month or year-to-year basis. A majority of the leases provide for fixed monthly rental payments and require the Company to pay the real estate taxes on the properties for the lease periods. All of the leases require that the Company maintains public liability and personal property insurance on each of the leased premises, and a majority of the leases require the Company to indemnify the lessor in connection with any claims arising from the leased premises during our occupation of the property. Most of the leases prohibit assigning the lease agreements or subletting the leased premises without the prior written consent of the lessor. In most of the leases, the Company has been granted a right of first refusal or other options to purchase the property.
	Approximate future minimum lease payment commitments are as follows:

	As of January 31, 2014, the Company had accumulated undistributed earnings in non-U.S. subsidiaries of $2.8 million. The Company has concluded that such earnings are to be reinvested outside of the United States indefinitely. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a deferred tax liability associated with these undistributed earnings. The Company estimates that the additional U.S. income taxes to be paid upon the repatriation of these undistributed earnings would be approximately $0.8 million.
	As of January 31, 2014, the Company has recorded $5.2 million of net operating loss carryforwards within certain of its foreign jurisdictions which expire at various dates between 2018 and 2021, with certain jurisdictions having indefinite carryforward periods.
	In reviewing the deferred tax assets as of January 31, 2014, the Company concluded that a full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, in certain of its foreign jurisdictions was warranted. In total, a valuation allowance of $1.9 million was recognized which was recorded as an additional provision for income taxes and negatively impacted the effective tax rate for the year ending January 31, 2014. This conclusion was principally based on the presence of historical losses and the anticipated time period over which taxable income may be generated in excess of these historical losses.
	The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign countries. It is no longer subject to income tax examinations by U.S. federal tax authorities for fiscal years ended on or prior to January 31, 2010 and state tax authorities for fiscal years ended on or prior to January 31, 2009. In September 2013, the IRS released final tangible property regulations under Sections 162(a) and 263(a) of the Internal Revenue Code regarding the deduction and capitalization of expenditures related to tangible property as well as dispositions of tangible property. These regulations will be effective for our tax year beginning February 1, 2014. We are currently assessing the impact of these regulations and do not anticipate they will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

	The Company's 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, a stock-based compensation plan (the "Plan") that was implemented during the year ended January 31, 2006 and amended from time to time, currently has a total of 1,500,000 shares available under the Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to provide incentive compensation to participants for services that have been or will be performed for continuing as employees or members of the Board of Directors of the Company. Under the Plan, the Company may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock for up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock under all forms of awards. The Company accounts for stock options and restricted stock using the fair value method under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Shares issued for stock-based awards consist of authorized but unissued shares. The Company has approximately 299,000 shares authorized and available for future equity awards under the Plan as of January 31, 2014.
	Compensation cost charged to operations under the Plan was $2.1 million, $1.6 million and $1.4 million for the years ended January 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The related income tax benefit (net) was $0.7 million, $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the years ended January 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Stock Options
	The Company granted stock options as part of its long-term incentive compensation to employees and members of the Board of Directors of the Company. The fair value of each stock option granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Stock options vest over a period of four to six years for employees and immediately for members of the Board of Directors, and have contractual terms of five to ten years. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock options as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period of the award.
	The following table summarizes stock option activity for the year ended January 31, 2014:
		Number of Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price			Aggregate Intrinsic Value			Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)

	Restricted Stock
	The Company grants restricted stock awards in addition to stock options as part of its long-term incentive compensation to employees and members of the Board of Directors of the Company. The fair value of the restricted stock is determined based on the closing market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant. The restricted stock primarily vests over a period of three to six years for employees and over one year for members of the Board of Directors. The Company recognizes compensation expense ratably over the vesting period of the restricted stock.

	The valuation for the Company's foreign currency contracts and interest rate swap derivative instruments were valued using discounted cash flow analyses, an income approach, utilizing readily observable market data as inputs.
	The Company also valued certain goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the year-ended January 31, 2014, as part of its annual impairment tests. The estimated fair value of these assets approximated zero, thus requiring a full impairment charge equal to the carrying values of such assets. The valuation methodologies utilized Level 3 fair value inputs, as described in Note 1 and Note 5.
	The Company also has financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value in its consolidated financial statements. The carrying amount of cash, receivables, payables, short-term debt and other current liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity and/or frequent repricing of those instruments, which are Level 2 fair value inputs. Based upon current borrowing rates with similar maturities, which are Level 2 fair value inputs, the carrying value of long-term debt approximates the fair value as of January 31, 2014 and 2013. The following table provides details on the Senior Convertible Notes as of January 31, 2014 and 2013. The difference between the face value and the carrying value of these notes is the result of the allocation between the debt and equity components (see Note 7). Fair value of the Senior Convertible Notes was estimated based on Level 2 fair value inputs.

	SEGMENT INFORMATION AND OPERATING RESULTS
	The Company owns and operates a network of full service agricultural and construction equipment stores in the United States and Europe. During the year ended January 31, 2014, the Company determined that its International operations were a separate reportable segment. Thus, the financial information for the years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012 has been reclassified for comparability with current year presentation. As of January 31, 2014, the Company has three reportable segments: Agriculture, Construction and International. The Company's segments are organized based on types of products sold and geographic areas, as described in the following paragraphs. The operating results for each segment are reported separately to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources, to assess the Company's operating performance and to make strategic decisions.
	The Company's Agriculture segment sells, services, and rents machinery, and related parts and attachments, for uses ranging from large-scale farming to home and garden use in North America. This segment also includes ancillary sales and services related to agricultural activities and products such as equipment transportation, Global Positioning System ("GPS") signal subscriptions and finance and insurance products.
	The Company's Construction segment sells, services, and rents machinery, and related parts and attachments, for uses ranging from heavy construction to light industrial machinery use to customers in North America. This segment also includes ancillary sales and services related to construction activities such as equipment transportation, GPS signal subscriptions and finance and insurance products.
	The Company’s International segment sells, services, and rents machinery, and related parts and attachments, for uses ranging from large-scale farming and construction to home and garden use to customers in Eastern Europe. It also includes export sales of equipment and parts to customers outside of the United States.

As of January 31, 2014 and 2013, $7.3 million and $5.4 million of the Company's long-lived assets were held in its European subsidiaries, respectively.
	Revenues, income (loss) before income tax and total assets at the segment level are reported before eliminations. The Company retains various unallocated income/(expense) items and assets at the general corporate level, which the Company refers to as "Shared Resources" in the table below. Shared Resource assets primarily consist of cash and property and equipment. Revenue between segments is immaterial. Revenue amounts included in Eliminations primarily relate to transactions within a segment. See Note 5 for information regarding goodwill by segment.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	'
	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
	To better align its Construction business in certain markets, in April 2014, the Company reduced its Construction-related headcount by approximately 12% primarily through the closing of seven underperforming Construction stores, staff reductions at other dealerships and reductions in support staff at its Shared Resource Center. The closed stores were located in Bozeman, Big Sky and Helena, Montana; Cheyenne, Wyoming; Clear Lake, Iowa; Flagstaff, Arizona; and Rosemount, Minnesota. The Company also closed its Agriculture store in Oskaloosa, Iowa and merged it with the nearby Agriculture store in Pella, Iowa. The Company's remaining stores in each of the respective areas will take over the distribution rights for the CNH brand previously held by the stores which have closed. The Company will transfer the majority of the assets of the closed stores to other stores, and will account for all exit costs related to these store closings in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. The Company estimates the total cost of these activities is anticipated to total approximately $4.2 million, comprised of an accrual for the net present value of remaining lease obligations, employee severance costs, impairment of certain fixed assets and costs associated with relocation of assets from the closed stores. These expenses are expected to be recognized in the three months ended April 30, 2014.
	On April 3, 2014, we amended our credit facility with Wells Fargo to modify and add certain definitions. The amendment also modified and added certain financial covenants. The effective date of the amendment was January 31, 2014 and significant terms of this amendment are included in Note 6.

BUSINESS_ACTIVITY_AND_SIGNIFIC1

BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Jan. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Nature of Business	'
	Nature of Business
	Titan Machinery Inc. (the "Company") is engaged in the retail sale, service and rental of agricultural and construction machinery through stores in the United States and Europe. The Company's North American stores are located in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming, and its European stores are located in Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine.
Seasonality	'
	Seasonality
	The agricultural and construction equipment businesses are highly seasonal, which causes our quarterly results and our available cash flow to fluctuate during the year. Farmers generally purchase agricultural equipment in preparation for, or in conjunction with, the spring planting and fall harvesting seasons. In addition, the fourth quarter typically is a significant period for equipment sales in the U.S. because of our customers’ year-end tax planning considerations, the timing of dealer incentives and the increase in availability of funds from completed harvests.
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant accounts, transactions and profits between the consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
	The accounts of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are consolidated as of December 31 of each year. No events occurred related to these subsidiaries in January 2014 that would have materially affected the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Reclassifications	'
	Reclassifications
	Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, including the consolidated statements of cash flows and segment reporting, to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.
Estimates	'
	Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, particularly related to realization of inventory, initial valuation and impairment analyses of intangible assets and goodwill, collectability of receivables, and income taxes.
Concentrations of Credit Risk	'
	Concentrations of Credit Risk
	The Company's sales are to agricultural and construction equipment customers principally in the states and European countries in which its stores are located. The Company extends credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business and monitors its customers' financial condition to minimize its risks associated with trade receivables; however, the Company does not generally require collateral on trade receivables.
	The Company's cash balances are maintained in bank deposit accounts, which are in excess of federally insured limits.
Concentrations in Operations	'
	Concentrations in Operations
	The Company currently purchases new equipment, rental equipment and the related parts from a limited number of manufacturers. Although no change in suppliers is anticipated, the occurrence of such a change could cause a possible loss of sales and adversely affect operating results. The Company is the holder of authorized dealerships granted by CNH America, LLC and CNH International SA (collectively referred to "CNH") whereby it has the right to act as an authorized dealer for the entities' equipment. The dealership authorizations and floorplan payable facilities can be cancelled by the respective entity if the Company does not observe certain established guidelines and covenants.
	In addition, the Company believes that the following factors related to concentrations in suppliers, and in particular CNH, have a significant impact on our operating results:
	•CNH's product offerings, reputation and market share
	•CNH's product prices and incentive and discount programs
	•Supply of inventory from CNH
	•CNH provides floorplan payable financing for the purchase of a substantial portion of our inventory
	•	CNH provides a significant percentage of the financing used by our customers to purchase CNH equipment from us.
Receivables and Credit Policy	'
	Receivables and Credit Policy
	Trade accounts receivable due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Balances unpaid after 30 days are considered past due and begin to accrue interest. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer's remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices. Trade accounts receivable due from manufacturers relate to discount programs, incentive programs and repair services performed on equipment with a remaining factory warranty. Trade accounts receivable due from finance companies primarily consist of contracts in transit with finance companies and balances due from credit card companies. These receivables do not generally have established payment terms but are collected in relatively short time periods.
	The carrying amount of trade receivables is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management reviews aged receivable balances and estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. Account balances are charged off after all appropriate means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
Inventories	'
	Inventories
	New and used equipment are stated at the lower of cost (specific identification) or market value with adjustments for decreases in market value on inventory rented but available for sale, estimated as a percentage of the rental income received on such inventory. All new and used equipment inventories, including that which has been rented, are subject to periodic lower of cost or market evaluation that considers various factors including aging of equipment and market conditions. Equipment inventory values are adjusted whenever the carrying amount exceeds the estimated market value. Parts inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market value. An estimate of parts inventories not expected to be sold in the next year has been reported separately, which is based on historical sales of parts on hand. The Company estimates a reserve on its parts inventories based on various factors including aging and sales of each type of parts inventory. Work in process is valued at the retail rates of labor incurred and parts inventories used on service work in process at year end.
Property and Equipment	'
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset, as summarized below:
	Buildings and leasehold improvements	Lesser of 10 - 40 years or lease term
	Machinery and equipment	3 - 10 years
	Furniture and fixtures	3 - 10 years
	Vehicles	5 - 10 years
	Rental fleet	3 - 10 years
	Depreciation for income tax reporting purposes is computed using accelerated methods.
Goodwill	'
	Goodwill
	Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets, including identifiable intangible assets, of the businesses acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events or when circumstances indicate that impairment may be present. The Company performs its annual impairment test as of the end of its fiscal year.
	Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. The Company identified four reporting units which carried a goodwill balance prior to impairment recorded in the current year: the Agriculture operating segment, the Construction operating segment, and the Romanian and Serbian components within the International operating segment.
	The goodwill impairment analysis is performed under a two-step impairment model. Step one of the analysis compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. However, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The second step measures the amount of impairment loss, if any, by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill, which is estimated by comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. An impairment charge is recognized for any excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value. See Note 5 for details and results of the Company's impairment testing in the years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013.
Intangible Assets	'
	Intangible Assets
	Intangible assets with a finite life consist of customer relationships and covenants not to compete, and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes the cost of identified intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which is three for customer relationships and the contractual term for covenants not to compete, which range from three to ten.
	Intangible assets with an indefinite life consist of distribution rights with manufacturers. Distribution rights are classified as an indefinite-lived intangible asset because the Company's distribution agreements continue indefinitely by their terms, or are routinely awarded or renewed without substantial cost or material modifications to the underlying agreements. As such, the Company believes that its distribution rights intangible assets will contribute to its cash flows for an indefinite period; therefore, the carrying amount of distribution rights is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events or when circumstances indicate that impairment may be present. The Company performs its annual impairment test as of December 31st of each year. The impairment test is performed by comparing the carrying value to its estimated fair value.
	Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at the lowest level in which identifiable cash flows can be attributed to the asset. The Company has determined that the lowest level of cash flows which can be attributed to the distribution rights intangible assets is equal to the store, or complex of stores, acquired in the business combination which resulted in the initial recognition of the intangible asset, plus any additional store locations operating within the geographical area of the distribution rights. See Note 5 for details and results of the Company's impairment testing in the years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	'
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	The Company's long-lived assets consist of property and equipment and intangible assets. These assets are reviewed for potential impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of such assets to their carrying values. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, the carrying value is considered recoverable and no impairment recognition is required. However, if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, the second step of the impairment analysis must be performed to measure the amount of the impairment, if any. The second step of the impairment analysis compares the estimated fair value of the long-lived asset to its carrying value and any amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value is recognized as an impairment charge.
	As of January 31, 2014, the Company determined that the current period operating loss combined with historical losses and anticipated future operating losses within certain of its stores in its Construction segment was an indication that certain long-lived assets of these stores may not be recoverable. The asset types included in the assessment included immovable long-lived assets (e.g., leasehold improvements) and other assets in which it would be impracticable to redeploy to other locations (e.g., furniture and fixtures). The Company performed the impairment analyses for these assets and determined that the carrying values are not recoverable based on its estimates of future undiscounted cash flows under step one of the impairment analysis. Based on this conclusion, step two of the impairment analysis was performed and estimated the fair value of these assets using a discounted cash flow model. The results of the analyses indicated that a full impairment charge was necessary, and thus an impairment loss of $1.5 million, was recognized and included in the Impairment amount in the consolidated statements of operations, all of which impacted the Construction segment.
Derivative Instruments	'
	Derivative Instruments
	In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to risk from adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and benchmark interest rates. The Company manages its market risk exposures through a program that includes the use of derivative instruments, primarily foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate derivatives. The Company's objective in managing its exposure to market risk is to minimize the impact on earnings, cash flows and the consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
	All outstanding derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The effect on earnings from recognizing the fair value of the derivative instrument depends on its intended use, the hedge designation, and the effectiveness in offsetting the exposure of the underlying hedged item. Changes in fair values of instruments designated to reduce or eliminate fluctuations in the fair values of recognized assets and liabilities and unrecognized firm commitments are reported currently in earnings along with the change in the fair value of the hedged items. Changes in the effective portion of the fair values of derivative instruments used to reduce or eliminate fluctuations in cash flows of forecasted transactions are reported in other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders' equity. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to earnings when the related hedged items affect earnings or the anticipated transactions are no longer probable. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated to reduce or eliminate fluctuations in the net investment of a foreign subsidiary are reported in other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are reported currently in earnings.
	For derivative instruments accounted for as hedging instruments, the Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the manner by which the effectiveness of the hedging instrument will be evaluated. At each reporting period after inception, the Company evaluates the hedging instrument's effectiveness in reducing or eliminating the underlying hedged exposure. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in earnings immediately.
Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair Value Measurements
	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:
	Level 1—Values derived from unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
	Level 2—Values derived from observable inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active.
	Level 3—Values derived from unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available, thereby requiring the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
	In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Customer Deposits	'
	Customer Deposits
	Customer deposits consist of advance payments from customers, in the form of cash or equipment to be traded-in
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in its provision for income taxes in the period of the change.
	The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured as the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. Changes in the recognition or measurement of such positions are reflected in its provision for income taxes in the period of the change. The Company's policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters within its provision for income taxes.
Earnings Per Share	'
	Earnings Per Share
	The Company uses the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share. Unvested restricted stock awards are considered participating securities because they entitle holders to non-forfeitable rights to dividends during the vesting term. Under the two-class method, basic earnings per share were computed by dividing net income attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. after allocation of income to participating securities by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.
	Diluted earnings per share were computed by dividing net income attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. after allocation of income to participating securities by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding after adjusting for potential dilution related to the conversion of all dilutive securities into common stock. All potentially dilutive securities were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. There were approximately 99,000, 10,000 and 119,000 stock options outstanding as of January 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. None of the approximately 3,474,000 shares underlying the Company's Senior Convertible Notes were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the Company's average stock price was less than the conversion price of $43.17.
	The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Earnings per Share - Diluted	$	0.41		$	2		$	2.18
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	Equipment revenue is generally recognized upon receipt of a signed sales contract and delivery of product to customers. However, in certain circumstances customers request a bill and hold arrangement, in which case equipment revenue is recognized before delivery occurs. Under these bill and hold arrangements, the equipment is available for shipment, the Company has fulfilled all of its pre-delivery performance obligations and received a signed sales contract, and the customer has completed and signed a bill and hold agreement. Credit terms on bill and hold arrangements are consistent with credit terms on all other equipment sales. Parts revenue is recognized upon delivery of product to customers. Service revenue is recognized at the time the related services are provided. Rental revenue is recognized over the period of the related rental agreement. In addition to outright sales of new and used equipment, certain rental agreements may include rent-to-purchase options. Under these agreements, customers are given a period of time to exercise an option to purchase the related equipment, with a portion of the rental payments being applied to reduce the purchase price. Payments received during the rental period are recorded as rental revenue. Any such equipment is included in inventory until the purchase option is exercised, and the carrying value of the equipment is reduced in accordance with the Company's aforementioned policy. Equipment revenue is recognized upon the exercise of the purchase option.
Sales, Excise and Value Added Taxes	'
	Sales, Excise and Value Added Taxes
	The Company has customers in states and municipalities in which those governmental units impose a sales tax on certain sales. The U.S. federal government imposes excise taxes on certain sales. Certain governments of the foreign countries in which the Company operates impose value added taxes on certain sales. The Company collects those sales and excise taxes from its customers and remits the entire amount to the various governmental units. The Company's accounting policy is to exclude the tax collected and remitted from revenue and cost of revenue.
Shipping and Handling Costs	'
	Shipping and Handling Costs
	Shipping and handling costs are recorded as cost of revenue and amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs are recorded in revenue.
Lessor Accounting	'
	Lessor Accounting
	The Company leases equipment from its rental fleet and equipment inventory to customers on operating leases over periods primarily less than one year.
