	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

	The condensed consolidated financial statements of AGCO Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “AGCO”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. To the extent a net operating loss carryfoward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit is presented in the financial statements as a liability and is not combined with deferred tax assets. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt this standard on January 1, 2014. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-11 to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. The standard requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) by component. The standard also requires an entity to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the footnotes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, the standard requires an entity to cross-reference other disclosures that provide additional detail on those amounts. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2013 by presenting the required amounts in its footnote disclosures (Note 10).

	Stock Incentive Plan

	Under the Company’s 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), up to 10.0 million shares of AGCO common stock may be issued. The 2006 Plan allows the Company, under the direction of the Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee, to make grants of performance shares, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards to employees, officers and non-employee directors of the Company.

	Employee Plans

	The weighted average grant-date fair value of performance awards granted under the 2006 Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $51.01 and $52.14, respectively.

	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company granted 1,099,392 awards related to the three-year performance period commencing in 2013 and ending in 2015, assuming the maximum target level of performance is achieved. The compensation expense associated with all awards granted under the 2006 Plan is amortized ratably over the vesting or performance period based on the Company’s projected assessment of the level of performance that will be achieved and earned. Performance award transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were as follows and are presented as if the Company were to achieve its maximum levels of performance under the plan:


	Shares awarded but not earned at January 1	2,509,323
	Shares awarded but not earned at January 1	2,509,323
	Shares awarded	1,099,392
	Shares awarded	1,099,392

	Shares earned	(26,800	)
	Shares awarded but not earned at September 30	3,366,585
	Shares awarded but not earned at September 30	3,366,585

	As of September 30, 2013, the total compensation cost related to unearned performance awards not yet recognized, assuming the Company’s current projected assessment of the level of performance that will be achieved and earned, was approximately $54.7 million, and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately two years.

	During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $1.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively, associated with stock-settled appreciation rights (“SSAR”) awards. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $1.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively, associated with SSAR awards. The Company estimated the fair value of the grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average grant-date fair value of SSARs granted under the 2006 Plan and the weighted average assumptions under the Black-Scholes option model were as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:


		Nine Months Ended September 30,

At September 30, 2013, the weighted average remaining contractual life of SSARs outstanding was approximately four years. As of September 30, 2013, the total compensation cost related to unvested SSARs not yet recognized was approximately $10.9 million and the weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately three years.

The following table sets forth the exercise price range, number of shares, weighted average exercise price, and remaining contractual life by groups of similar price as of September 30, 2013:


		SSARs Outstanding								SSARs Exercisable

		1,102,610								483,794	$	39.43

The total fair value of SSARs vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $3.6 million. There were 618,816 SSARs that were not vested as of September 30, 2013. The total intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable SSARs as of September 30, 2013 was $15.9 million and $10.2 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of SSARs exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $5.3 million. The Company realized an insignificant tax benefit from the exercise of these SSARs.

Director Restricted Stock Grants

The 2006 Plan provides for annual restricted stock grants of the Company’s common stock to all non-employee directors. The shares are restricted as to transferability for a period of three years, but are not subject to forfeiture. In the event a director departs from the Company’s Board of Directors, the non-transferability period expires immediately. The plan allows each director to have the option of forfeiting a portion of the shares awarded in lieu of a cash payment contributed to the participant’s tax withholding to satisfy the statutory minimum federal, state and employment taxes that would be payable at the time of grant. The 2013 grant was made on April 25, 2013 and equated to 17,171 shares of common stock, of which 12,059 shares of common stock were issued after shares were withheld for taxes. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $0.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 associated with these grants.

As of September 30, 2013, of the 10.0 million shares reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan, approximately 3.4 million shares were available for grant, assuming the maximum number of shares are earned related to the performance award grants discussed above.

	Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes

	The following table sets forth as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the carrying amount of the equity component, the principal amount of the liability component, the unamortized discount and the net carrying amount of the Company’s $201.3 million 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2036 (in millions):


		September 30, 2013			December 31, 2012
	Carrying amount of the equity component	$	54.3		$	54.3


	Principal amount of the liability component	$	201.3		$	201.3

	Less: unamortized discount	(2.3		)	(9.2		)
	Net carrying amount	$	199		$	192.1


	The interest expense recognized relating to the contractual interest coupon and the amortization of the discount on the liability component for the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes was approximately $2.9 million and $8.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $2.8 million and $8.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The effective interest rate on the liability component for the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was 6.1%. The unamortized discount for the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes will be amortized through December 2013, as this is the earliest date that the notes’ holders can require the Company to repurchase the notes.

	The Company’s 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes, due December 15, 2036, were issued in December 2006, and provide for (i) the settlement upon conversion in cash up to the principal amount of the notes with any excess conversion value settled in shares of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) the conversion rate to be increased under certain circumstances if the notes are converted in connection with certain change of control transactions occurring prior to December 15, 2013. The notes are unsecured obligations and are convertible into cash and shares of the Company’s common stock upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Interest is payable on the notes at 11/4% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an effective price of $40.51 per share, subject to adjustment, including to reflect the impact to the conversion rate upon payment of any dividends to the Company’s stockholders. The current effective price reflects a conversion rate for the notes of 24.6843 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes.

	Holders of the Company’s 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes may require the Company to repurchase the notes at a repurchase price of 100% of their principal amount, plus any interest, on December 15, 2013. In addition, holders may convert the notes if, during any fiscal quarter, the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 120% of the conversion price of $40.51 per share for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter. As of September 30, 2013, the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock had exceeded 120% of the conversion price of the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending September 30, 2013, and, therefore, the holders of the notes may convert the notes during the three months ending December 31, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, the Company classified the notes as a current liability due to the redemption feature discussed above, as well as the ability of the holders of the notes to convert the notes during the three months ending December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, the Company classified the notes as a current liability due to the redemption feature of the notes. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company also classified approximately $2.3 million and $9.2 million, respectively, of the equity component of the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes as “Temporary equity.” The amount classified as “Temporary equity” was measured as the excess of (i) the amount of cash that would be required to be paid upon conversion over (ii) the current carrying amount of the liability-classified component. Due to the redemption feature of the notes, unless converted prior to such date, the notes will be required to be classified as a current liability through at least December 15, 2013. Holders of the notes may convert the notes earlier than December 15, 2013 dependent on the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock during the quarters in 2013, as previously discussed. Beginning December 19, 2013, the Company may redeem any of the notes at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, as well as settle any excess conversion value with shares of the Company’s common stock. Future classification of the notes between current liabilities and long-term debt beyond December 15, 2013 will be dependent on the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock during future quarters, until the fourth quarter of 2015, unless the Company chooses to redeem the notes beginning December 19, 2013.

	4 1/2% Senior Term Loan

	The Company’s €200.0 million (or approximately $270.4 million as of September 30, 2013) 41/2% senior term loan with Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A. (“Rabobank”) is due May 2, 2016. The Company has the ability to prepay the term loan before its maturity date. Interest is payable on the term loan at 41/2% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. The term loan contains covenants restricting, among other things, the incurrence of indebtedness and the making of certain payments, including dividends, and is subject to acceleration in the event of default. The Company also has to fulfill financial covenants with respect to a total debt to EBITDA ratio and an interest coverage ratio.

	5 7/8% Senior Notes

	The Company’s $300.0 million of 57/8% senior notes due December 1, 2021 constitute senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Interest is payable on the notes semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. At any time prior to September 1, 2021, the Company may redeem the notes, in whole or in part from time to time, at its option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date at the treasury rate plus 0.5%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any. Beginning September 1, 2021, the Company may redeem the notes, in whole or in part from time to time, at its option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any.

	Credit Facility

	The Company’s revolving credit and term loan facility consists of a $600.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility and a $365.0 million term loan facility. The maturity date of the Company’s credit facility is December 1, 2016. The Company is required to make quarterly payments towards the term loan of $5.0 million that will increase to $10.0 million commencing March 2015. Interest accrues on amounts outstanding under the credit facility, at the Company’s option, at either (1) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.0% to 2.0% based on the Company’s leverage ratio, or (2) the base rate, which is equal to the higher of (i) the administrative agent’s base lending rate for the applicable currency, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, and (iii) one-month LIBOR for loans denominated in US dollars plus 1.0% plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.5% based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The credit facility contains covenants restricting, among other things, the incurrence of indebtedness and the making of certain payments, including dividends, and is subject to acceleration in the event of a default. The Company also has to fulfill financial covenants with respect to a total debt to EBITDA ratio and an interest coverage ratio. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $426.8 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and availability to borrow approximately $538.2 million. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $465.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and availability to borrow approximately $515.0 million.

	The carrying amounts of long-term debt under the Company’s 41/2% senior term loan and credit facility approximate their fair values based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities. At September 30, 2013, the estimated fair values of the Company’s 57/8% senior notes and 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes, based on their listed market values, were $327.7 million and $302.6 million, respectively, compared to their carrying values of $300.0 million and $199.0 million, respectively. At December 31, 2012, the estimated fair values of the Company’s 57/8% senior notes and 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes, based on their listed market values, were $327.2 million and $250.6 million, respectively, compared to their carrying values of $300.0 million and $192.1 million, respectively.

	Standby Letters of Credit and Similar Instruments

	The Company has arrangements with various banks to issue standby letters of credit or similar instruments, which guarantee the Company’s obligations for the purchase or sale of certain inventories and for potential claims exposure for insurance coverage. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, outstanding letters of credit totaled $16.8 million and $15.8 million, respectively.

	NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

	Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and its subsidiaries by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per common share assumes the exercise of outstanding SSARs, vesting of performance share awards, vesting of restricted stock and the appreciation of the excess conversion value of the contingently convertible senior subordinated notes using the treasury stock method when the effects of such assumptions are dilutive. Dilution of weighted shares outstanding will depend on the Company’s stock price for the excess conversion value of the contingently convertible senior subordinated notes using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and its subsidiaries and weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 is as follows (in millions, except per share data):

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

All derivatives are recognized on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a fair value hedge of a recognized liability, (2) a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or (4) a non-designated derivative instrument.

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flow of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is no longer highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued on a prospective basis.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company has significant manufacturing operations in the United States, France, Germany, Finland and Brazil, and it purchases a portion of its tractors, combines and components from third-party foreign suppliers, primarily in various European countries and in Japan. The Company also sells products in over 140 countries throughout the world. The Company’s most significant transactional foreign currency exposures are the Euro, Brazilian real and the Canadian dollar in relation to the United States dollar, and the Euro in relation to the British pound.

The Company attempts to manage its transactional foreign exchange exposure by hedging foreign currency cash flow forecasts and commitments arising from the anticipated settlement of receivables and payables and from future purchases and sales. Where naturally offsetting currency positions do not occur, the Company hedges certain, but not all, of its exposures through the use of foreign currency contracts. The Company’s translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries into United States dollars is not hedged. The Company’s most significant translation exposures are the Euro, the British pound and the Brazilian real in relation to the United States dollar, and the Swiss franc in relation to the Euro. When practical, the translation impact is reduced by financing local operations with local borrowings.

The foreign currency contracts are primarily forward and options contracts. These contracts’ fair value measurements fall within the Level 2 fair value hierarchy. Level 2 fair value measurements are generally based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate. The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a valuation model that utilizes spot and forward exchange rates, interest rates and currency pair volatility.

The Company’s senior management establishes the Company’s foreign currency and interest rate risk management policies. These policies are reviewed periodically by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The policies allow for the use of derivative instruments to hedge exposures to movements in foreign currency and interest rates. The Company’s policies prohibit the use of derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges

During 2013 and 2012, the Company designated certain foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges of expected future sales and purchases. The effective portion of the fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges were recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and are subsequently reclassified into cost of goods sold during the period the sales and purchases are recognized. These amounts offset the effect of the changes in foreign currency rates on the related sale and purchase transactions. The amount of the net gain (loss) recorded in other comprehensive loss that was reclassified into cost of goods sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $0.4 million and $(5.4) million, respectively, on an after-tax basis. The outstanding contracts as of September 30, 2013 range in maturity through December 2014.

The following table summarizes the activity in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the derivatives held by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (in millions):

The Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $119.2 million and $110.3 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, that were entered into to hedge forecasted sale and purchase transactions.

Derivative Transactions Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

During 2013 and 2012, the Company entered into foreign currency contracts to hedge receivables and payables on the Company and its subsidiaries’ balance sheets that are denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency. These contracts were classified as non-designated derivative instruments.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $1,111.6 million and $1,467.0 million, respectively, that were entered into to hedge receivables and payables that were denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency. Changes in the fair value of these contracts are reported in “Other expense, net.” For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a net gain of approximately $21.2 million and $8.8 million, respectively, within “Other expense, net” related to these contracts. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a net gain of approximately $6.3 million and $7.2 million, respectively, within “Other expense, net” related to these contracts. Gains and losses on such contracts are substantially offset by losses and gains on the remeasurement of the underlying asset or liability being hedged.

Counterparty Risk

The Company regularly monitors the counterparty risk and credit ratings of all the counterparties to the derivative instruments. The Company believes that its exposures are appropriately diversified across counterparties and that these counterparties are creditworthy financial institutions. If the Company perceives any risk with a counterparty, then the Company would cease to do business with that counterparty. There have been no negative impacts to the Company from any non-performance of any counterparties.

	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SALES AGREEMENTS

	As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had accounts receivable sales agreements that permit the sale, on an ongoing basis, of a majority of its wholesale receivables in North America and Europe to its 49% owned U.S., Canadian and European retail finance joint ventures. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the cash received from receivables sold under the U.S., Canadian and European accounts receivable sales agreements was approximately $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively.

	Under the terms of the accounts receivable agreements in North America and Europe, the Company pays an annual servicing fee related to the servicing of the receivables sold. The Company also pays the respective AGCO Finance entities a subsidized interest payment with respect to the sales agreements, calculated based upon LIBOR plus a margin on any non-interest bearing accounts receivable outstanding and sold under the sales agreements. These fees were reflected within losses on the sales of receivables included within “Other expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not service the receivables after the sale occurs and does not maintain any direct retained interest in the receivables. The Company reviewed its accounting for the accounts receivable sales agreements and determined that these facilities should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.
	Losses on sales of receivables associated with the accounts receivable financing facilities discussed above, reflected within “Other expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, were approximately $6.7 million and $18.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Losses on sales of receivables associated with the accounts receivable financing facilities discussed above, reflected within “Other expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, were approximately $5.8 million and $16.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

	The Company’s retail finance joint ventures in Brazil and Australia also provide wholesale financing to the Company’s dealers. The receivables associated with these arrangements are without recourse to the Company. The Company does not service the receivables after the sale occurs and does not maintain any direct retained interest in the receivables. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, these retail finance joint ventures had approximately $97.7 million and $100.6 million, respectively, of outstanding accounts receivable associated with these arrangements. The Company reviewed its accounting for these arrangements and determined that these arrangements should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

	In addition, the Company sells certain trade receivables under factoring arrangements to other financial institutions around the world. The Company reviewed the sale of such receivables and determined that these arrangements should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

	SEGMENT REPORTING

	The Company’s four reportable segments distribute a full range of agricultural equipment and related replacement parts. The Company evaluates segment performance primarily based on income from operations. Sales for each segment are based on the location of the third-party customer. The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses and engineering expenses are charged to each segment based on the region and division where the expenses are incurred. As a result, the components of income from operations for one segment may not be comparable to another segment. Segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and assets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 based on the Company’s reportable segments are as follows (in millions):

	Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

	Guarantees

	The Company maintains a remarketing agreement with its U.S. retail finance joint venture, whereby the Company is obligated to repurchase repossessed inventory at market values. The Company has an agreement with its U.S. retail finance joint venture which limits the Company’s purchase obligations under this arrangement to $6.0 million in the aggregate per calendar year. The Company believes that any losses that might be incurred on the resale of this equipment will not materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations, due to the fair value of the underlying equipment.

	At September 30, 2013, the Company guaranteed indebtedness owed to third parties of approximately $156.4 million, primarily related to dealer and end-user financing of equipment. Such guarantees generally obligate the Company to repay outstanding finance obligations owed to financial institutions if dealers or end users default on such loans through 2018. The Company believes the credit risk associated with these guarantees is not material to its financial position or results of operations. Losses under such guarantees have historically been insignificant. In addition, the Company generally would expect to be able to recover a significant portion of the amounts paid under such guarantees from the sale of the underlying financed farm equipment, as the fair value of such equipment is expected to be sufficient to offset a substantial portion of the amounts paid.

	Other

	The Company sells a majority of its wholesale receivables in North America and Europe to its 49% owned U.S., Canadian and European retail finance joint ventures. The Company also sells certain accounts receivable under factoring arrangements to financial institutions around the world. The Company reviewed the sale of such receivables and determined that these facilities should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

	Legal Claims and Other Matters

	As a result of Brazilian tax legislative changes impacting value added taxes (“VAT”), the Company recorded a reserve of approximately $65.5 million and $59.6 million against its outstanding balance of Brazilian VAT receivable as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, due to the uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to collect the amounts outstanding.

	On June 27, 2008, the Republic of Iraq filed a civil action in federal court in the Southern District of New York, Case No. 08 CIV 59617, naming as defendants one of the Company’s French subsidiaries and two of its other foreign subsidiaries that participated in the United Nations Oil for Food Program (the “Program”). Ninety-one other entities or companies also were named as defendants in the civil action due to their participation in the Program. The complaint purports to assert claims against each of the defendants seeking damages in an unspecified amount. On February 6, 2013, the federal court dismissed the complaint with prejudice. The plaintiff has appealed the decision and the appellate process is ongoing. Although the Company’s subsidiaries intend to vigorously defend against this action, it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of this action or its impact, if any, on the Company, although if the outcome was adverse, the Company could be required to pay damages.
	On October 30, 2012, a third-party complaint was filed in federal court in the Southern District of Texas, Case No. 09 CIV 03884, naming as defendants one of the Company’s French subsidiaries and two of its other foreign subsidiaries. Sixty other entities or companies also were named as third-party defendants. The complaint asserts claims against the defendants, certain of which are also third-party plaintiffs, seeking unspecified damages arising from their participation in the Program. The third-party plaintiffs seek contribution from the third-party defendants. The Company’s subsidiaries have filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Although the Company’s subsidiaries intend to vigorously defend against this action, it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of the action or its impact, if any, on the Company, although if the outcome was adverse, the Company could be required to pay damages.

	As part of routine audits, the Brazilian taxing authorities disallowed deductions relating to the amortization of certain goodwill recognized in connection with a reorganization of the Company’s Brazilian operations and the related transfer of certain assets to the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries. The amount of the tax disallowance through September 30, 2013, not including interest and penalties, was approximately 131.5 million Brazilian reais (or approximately $58.9 million). The amount ultimately in dispute will be greater because of interest and penalties. The Company has been advised by its legal and tax advisors that its position with respect to the deductions is allowable under the tax laws of Brazil. The Company is contesting the disallowance and believes that it is not likely that the assessment, interest or penalties will be required to be paid. However, the ultimate outcome will not be determined until the Brazilian tax appeal process is complete, which could take several years.

	The Company is a party to various other legal claims and actions incidental to its business. The Company believes that none of these claims or actions, either individually or in the aggregate, is material to its business or financial statements as a whole, including its results of operations and financial condition.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Derivatives Policy	'
	All derivatives are recognized on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a fair value hedge of a recognized liability, (2) a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or (4) a non-designated derivative instrument.

	The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flow of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is no longer highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued on a prospective basis.

	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. To the extent a net operating loss carryfoward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit is presented in the financial statements as a liability and is not combined with deferred tax assets. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt this standard on January 1, 2014. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-11 to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. The standard requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) by component. The standard also requires an entity to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the footnotes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, the standard requires an entity to cross-reference other disclosures that provide additional detail on those amounts. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2013 by presenting the required amounts in its footnote disclosures (Note 10).
