Other investments, including those representing an ownership of less than 20%, are recorded at cost. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
	Basis of Consolidation of Joint Ventures and Other Variable Interest Entities
	GIMA is a joint venture between AGCO and Claas Tractor SAS to cooperate in the field of purchasing, design and manufacturing of components for agricultural tractors. Each party has a 50% ownership interest in the joint venture and has an investment of approximately €4.2 million in the joint venture. Both parties purchase all of the production output of the joint venture. The Company does not consolidate the GIMA joint venture into the Company’s results of operations or financial position, as the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in GIMA based on the shared powers of both joint venture partners to direct the activities that most significantly impact GIMA’s financial performance.
	Rabobank is a 51% owner in the Company’s retail finance joint ventures. The majority of the assets of the Company’s retail finance joint ventures represents finance receivables. The majority of the liabilities represents notes payable and accrued interest. Under the various joint venture agreements, Rabobank or its affiliates provide financing to the joint venture companies, primarily through lines of credit. The Company does not guarantee the debt obligations of the retail finance joint ventures. The Company’s retail finance joint ventures provide retail financing and wholesale financing to its dealers (Notes 3 and 12). The Company has determined that the retail finance joint ventures do not meet the consolidation requirements and should be accounted for under the voting interest model. In making this determination, the Company evaluated the sufficiency of the equity at risk for each retail finance joint venture, the ability of the joint venture investors to make decisions about the joint ventures’ activities that have a significant effect on the success of the entities and their economic performance, the obligations to absorb expected losses of the joint ventures, and the rights to receive expected residual returns.
	During 2011, the Company acquired 50% of AGCO-Amity JV, LLC (“AGCO-Amity JV”), thereby creating a joint venture between the Company and Amity Technology LLC. AGCO-Amity JV is located in North Dakota and manufactures air-seeding and tillage equipment. As the Company has a controlling voting interest to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint venture, the Company has consolidated the joint venture’s operations in the Company’s results of operations and financial position commencing as of and from the date of the formation of the joint venture.
	During 2012, the Company acquired 61% of Santal Equipamentos S.A. Comércio e Indústria (“Santal”), a manufacturer and distributor of sugar cane planting, harvesting, handling and transportation equipment as well as replacement parts across Brazil. As the Company has a controlling voting interest to direct the activities that most significantly impact Santal, the Company has consolidated Santal’s operations in the Company’s results of operations and financial position commencing as of and from the date of acquisition.
	Revenue Recognition
	Sales of equipment and replacement parts are recorded by the Company when title and risks of ownership have been transferred to an independent dealer, distributor or other customer. In certain countries, sales of certain grain storage and protein production systems where the Company is responsible for construction or installation are recorded at the completion of the project. Payment terms vary by market and product, with fixed payment schedules on all sales. The terms of sale generally require that a purchase order or order confirmation accompany all shipments. Title generally passes to the dealer or distributor upon shipment, and the risk of loss upon damage, theft or destruction of the equipment is the responsibility of the dealer, distributor or third-party carrier. In certain foreign countries, the Company retains a form of title to goods delivered to dealers until the dealer makes payment so that the Company can recover the goods in the event of customer default on payment. This occurs as the laws of some foreign countries do not provide for a seller’s retention of a security interest in goods in the same manner as established in the United States Uniform Commercial Code. The only right the Company retains with respect to the title are those enabling recovery of the goods in the event of customer default on payment. The dealer or distributor may not return equipment or replacement parts while its contract with the Company is in force. Replacement parts may be returned only under promotional and annual return programs. Provisions for returns under these programs are made at the time of sale based on the terms of the program and historical returns experience. The Company may provide certain sales incentives to dealers and distributors. Provisions for sales incentives are made at the time of sale for existing incentive programs. These provisions are revised in the event of subsequent modification to the incentive program. See “Accounts and Notes Receivable” for further discussion.
	In the United States and Canada, all equipment sales to dealers are immediately due upon a retail sale of the equipment by the dealer with the exception of sales of grain storage and protein production systems. If not previously paid by the dealer in the United States and Canada, installment payments are required generally beginning after the interest-free period with the remaining outstanding equipment balance generally due within 12 months after shipment. Interest generally is charged on the outstanding balance six to 12 months after shipment. Sales terms of some highly seasonal products provide for payment and due dates based on a specified date during the year regardless of the shipment date. Equipment sold to dealers in the United States and Canada is paid in full on average within 12 months of shipment. Sales of replacement parts generally are payable within 30 days of shipment, with terms for some larger, seasonal stock orders generally requiring payment within six months of shipment. Sales of grain storage and protein production systems generally are payable within 30 days of shipment.
	In other international markets, equipment sales are generally payable in full within 30 to 180 days of shipment. Payment terms for some highly seasonal products have a specified due date during the year regardless of the shipment date. Sales of replacement parts generally are payable within 30 to 90 days of shipment, with terms for some larger, seasonal stock orders generally payable within six months of shipment.
	In certain markets, particularly in North America, there is a time lag, which varies based on the timing and level of retail demand, between the date the Company records a sale and when the dealer sells the equipment to a retail customer.
	Foreign Currency Translation
	The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into United States currency in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 830, “Foreign Currency Matters.” Assets and liabilities are translated to United States dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in stockholders’ equity within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses, which result from foreign currency transactions, are included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates made by management primarily relate to accounts and notes receivable, inventories, deferred income tax valuation allowances, goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets, and certain accrued liabilities, principally relating to reserves for volume discounts and sales incentives, warranty obligations, product liability and workers’ compensation obligations, and pensions and postretirement benefits.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash at December 31, 2013 and 2012 of $465.2 million and $403.6 million, respectively, consisted primarily of cash on hand and bank deposits. The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents at December 31, 2013 and 2012 of $582.0 million and $377.7 million, respectively, consisted primarily of money market deposits, certificates of deposits and overnight investments.
	Accounts and Notes Receivable
	Accounts and notes receivable arise from the sale of equipment and replacement parts to independent dealers, distributors or other customers. Payments due under the Company’s terms of sale generally range from one to 12 months and are not contingent upon the sale of the equipment by the dealer or distributor to a retail customer. Under normal circumstances, payment terms are not extended and equipment may not be returned. In certain regions, with respect to most equipment sales, including the United States and Canada, the Company is obligated to repurchase equipment and replacement parts upon cancellation of a dealer or distributor contract. These obligations are required by national, state or provincial laws and require the Company to repurchase a dealer or distributor’s unsold inventory, including inventories for which the receivable has already been paid.
	The Company offers various sales terms with respect to its products. For sales in most markets outside of the United States and Canada, the Company does not normally charge interest on outstanding receivables with its dealers and distributors. For sales to certain dealers or distributors in the United States and Canada, interest is charged at or above prime lending rates on outstanding receivable balances after interest-free periods. These interest-free periods vary by product and generally range from one to 12 months, with the exception of certain seasonal products, which bear interest after various periods up to 23 months depending on the time of year of the sale and the dealer or distributor’s sales volume during the preceding year. The Company’s North American geographical reportable segment comprised approximately 25.6% of the Company’s total net sales during 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2013, 20.8% and 4.3% of the Company’s net sales had maximum interest-free periods ranging from one to six months and seven to 12 months, respectively, related to its North American geographical reporting segment. Net sales with maximum interest-free periods ranging from 13 to 23 months were approximately 0.5% of the Company’s net sales during 2013. Actual interest-free periods are shorter than described above because the equipment receivable from dealers or distributors in the United States and Canada is due immediately upon sale of the equipment to a retail customer. Under normal circumstances, interest is not forgiven and interest-free periods are not extended. The Company has an agreement to permit transferring, on an ongoing basis, substantially all of its wholesale interest-bearing and non-interest bearing accounts receivable in North America to its U.S. and Canadian retail finance joint ventures. Upon transfer, the receivables maintain standard payment terms, including required regular principal payments on amounts outstanding, and interest charges at market rates. The Company also has accounts receivable sales agreements that permit the sale, on an ongoing basis, of a majority of its accounts receivables in Europe to its European retail finance joint ventures. Upon transfer, the receivables maintain standard payment terms. Qualified dealers may obtain additional financing through the Company’s U.S., Canadian and European retail finance joint ventures at the joint ventures’ discretion.
	The Company provides various volume bonus and sales incentive programs with respect to its products. These sales incentive programs include reductions in invoice prices, reductions in retail financing rates, dealer commissions and dealer incentive allowances. In most cases, incentive programs are established and communicated to the Company’s dealers on a quarterly basis. The incentives are paid either at the time of invoice (through a reduction of invoice price), at the time of the settlement of the receivable, at the time of retail financing, at the time of warranty registration, or at a subsequent time based on dealer purchases. The incentive programs are product-line specific and generally do not vary by dealer. The cost of sales incentives associated with dealer commissions and dealer incentive allowances is estimated based upon the terms of the programs and historical experience, is based on a percentage of the sales price, and is recorded at the later of (a) the date at which the related revenue is recognized, or (b) the date at which the sales incentive is offered. The related provisions and accruals are made on a product or product-line basis and are monitored for adequacy and revised at least quarterly in the event of subsequent modifications to the programs. Volume discounts are estimated and recognized based on historical experience, and related reserves are monitored and adjusted based on actual dealer purchases and the dealers’ progress towards achieving specified cumulative target levels. The Company records the cost of interest subsidy payments, which is a reduction in the retail financing rates, at the later of (a) the date at which the related revenue is recognized, or (b) the date at which the sales incentive is offered. Estimates of these incentives are based on the terms of the programs and historical experience. All incentive programs are recorded and presented as a reduction of revenue due to the fact that the Company does not receive an identifiable benefit in exchange for the consideration provided. Reserves for incentive programs that will be paid either through the reduction of future invoices or through credit memos are recorded as “accounts receivable allowances” within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Reserves for incentive programs that will be paid in cash, as is the case with most of the Company’s volume discount programs, as well as sales with incentives associated with accounts receivable sold to its U.S. and Canadian retail finance joint ventures, are recorded within “Accrued expenses” within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	Accounts and notes receivable are shown net of allowances for sales incentive discounts available to dealers and for doubtful accounts. Cash flows related to the collection of receivables are reported within “Cash flows from operating activities” within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Accounts and notes receivable allowances at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows (in millions):
		2013			2012
	Sales incentive discounts	$	30.4		$	21.5
	Doubtful accounts	34.9			38.1
		$	65.3		$	59.6
	The Company transfers certain accounts receivable under its accounts receivable sales agreements with its retail finance joint ventures (Note 3). The Company records such transfers as sales of accounts receivable when it is considered to have surrendered control of such receivables under the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-16, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets.” Cash payments are made to the Company’s U.S. and Canadian retail finance joint ventures for sales incentive discounts provided to dealers related to outstanding accounts receivables sold. The balances of such sales discount reserves that are recorded within “Accrued expenses” as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $206.2 million and $143.7 million, respectively.
	Inventories
	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. Market is current replacement cost (by purchase or by reproduction, dependent on the type of inventory). In cases where market exceeds net realizable value (i.e., estimated selling price less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal), inventories are stated at net realizable value. Market is not considered to be less than net realizable value reduced by an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had recorded $119.9 million and $99.2 million, respectively, as an adjustment for surplus and obsolete inventories. These adjustments are reflected within “Inventories, net” within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	Inventories, net at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows (in millions):
		2013			2012
	Finished goods	$	775.7		$	598.5
	Repair and replacement parts	550.2			505.6
	Work in process	109			137.5
	Raw materials	581.2			461.5
	Inventories, net	$	2,016.10		$	1,703.10
	Cash flows related to the sale of inventories are reported within “Cash flows from operating activities” within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment, and 3 to 10 years for furniture and fixtures. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
	Property, plant and equipment, net at December 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the following (in millions):
		2013			2012
	Land	$	109.3		$	100.1
	Buildings and improvements	714.8			618.8
	Machinery and equipment	1,852.00			1,616.20
	Furniture and fixtures	288.7			244.5
	Gross property, plant and equipment	2,964.80			2,579.60
	Accumulated depreciation and amortization	(1,362.5		)	(1,173.5		)
	Property, plant and equipment, net	$	1,602.30		$	1,406.10
	Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets
	ASC 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other,” establishes a method of testing goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company’s annual qualitative or quantitative assessments involve determining an estimate of the fair value of the Company’s reporting units in order to evaluate whether an impairment of the current carrying amount of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets exists. A qualitative assessment evaluates whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The first step of a quantitative goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired, and, thus, the second step of the quantitative impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. Fair values are derived based on an evaluation of past and expected future performance of the Company’s reporting units. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, for example, 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 the Company’s executive management team regularly reviews the operating results of that component. In addition, the Company combines and aggregates two or more components of an operating segment as a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics. The Company’s reportable segments are not its reporting units.
	The second step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test, used to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any, compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination; that is, the Company allocates the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. The Company utilizes a combination of valuation techniques, including a discounted cash flow approach and a market multiple approach, when making quantitative goodwill assessments.
	The Company reviews its long-lived assets, which include intangible assets subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by the asset to be held and used are not sufficient to recover the unamortized balance of the asset. An impairment loss would be recognized based on the difference between the carrying values and estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is determined based on either the discounted future cash flows or other appropriate fair value methods with the amount of any such deficiency charged to income in the current year. If the asset being tested for recoverability was acquired in a business combination, intangible assets resulting from the acquisition that are related to the asset are included in the assessment. Estimates of future cash flows are based on many factors, including current operating results, expected market trends and competitive influences. The Company also evaluates the amortization periods assigned to its intangible assets to determine whether events or changes in circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. Assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell.
	During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company conducted a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis of its Chinese harvesting business and also reviewed its long-lived assets for impairment, including its trademark, distribution network and land use right identifiable intangible assets. The goodwill and long-lived asset impairment analyses indicated that a reduction in the carrying amount of the Chinese harvesting business’s goodwill and certain other identifiable intangible assets was required. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $22.4 million within “Impairment charge” in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Chinese harvesting business operates within the Asia/Pacific geographical reportable segment. The Company’s accumulated goodwill impairment is approximately $180.5 million, which is comprised of approximately $9.1 million recorded in 2012 related to the Chinese harvesting reporting unit and approximately $171.4 million recorded in 2006 related to the Company’s sprayer reporting unit. The sprayer reporting unit operates within the North American geographical reportable segment.
	The results of the Company’s goodwill and long-lived assets impairment analyses conducted as of October 1, 2013 and 2011 indicated that no reduction in the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill and long-lived assets was required. The results of the Company’s goodwill impairment analysis conducted as of October 1, 2012 indicated that no other reduction in the carrying amount of goodwill and long-lived assets was required.
	Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are summarized as follows (in millions):
		North			South			Europe/Africa/			Asia/Pacific			Consolidated

During 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company reduced goodwill for financial reporting purposes by approximately $8.0 million, $7.8 million and $9.1 million, respectively, related to the realization of tax benefits associated with the excess tax basis deductible goodwill resulting from the Company’s acquisition of Valtra.
The Company amortizes certain acquired identifiable intangible assets primarily on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 50 years. The acquired intangible assets have a weighted average useful life as follows:
Intangible Asset		Weighted-Average
		Useful Life
Patents and technology		13	years
Customer relationships		14	years
Trademarks and trade names		21	years
Land use rights		47	years
For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, acquired intangible asset amortization was $47.8 million, $49.3 million and $21.6 million, respectively. The Company estimates amortization of existing intangible assets will be $39.9 million for 2014, $39.9 million for 2015, $38.8 million for 2016, $38.4 million for 2017, and $38.3 million for 2018.
The Company has previously determined that two of its trademarks have an indefinite useful life. The Massey Ferguson trademark has been in existence since 1952 and was formed from the merger of Massey-Harris (established in the 1890’s) and Ferguson (established in the 1930’s). The Massey Ferguson brand is currently sold in over 140 countries worldwide, making it one of the most widely sold tractor brands in the world. The Company has also identified the Valtra trademark as an indefinite-lived asset. The Valtra trademark has been in existence since the late 1990’s, but is a derivative of the Valmet trademark which has been in existence since 1951. The Valmet name transitioned to the Valtra name over a period of time in the marketplace. The Valtra brand is currently sold in approximately 50 countries around the world. Both the Massey Ferguson brand and the Valtra brand are primary product lines of the Company’s business, and the Company plans to use these trademarks for an indefinite period of time. The Company plans to continue to make investments in product development to enhance the value of these brands into the future. There are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that the Company is aware of or that the Company believes would limit the useful lives of the trademarks. The Massey Ferguson and Valtra trademark registrations can be renewed at a nominal cost in the countries in which the Company operates.

The Company’s agricultural equipment products are generally under warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one to four years. The Company accrues for future warranty costs at the time of sale based on historical warranty experience. Approximately $39.0 million and $33.0 million of warranty reserves are included in “Other noncurrent liabilities” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Insurance Reserves
Under the Company’s insurance programs, coverage is obtained for significant liability limits as well as those risks required to be insured by law or contract. It is the policy of the Company to self-insure a portion of certain expected losses related primarily to workers’ compensation and comprehensive general, product and vehicle liability. Provisions for losses expected under these programs are recorded based on the Company’s estimates of the aggregate liabilities for the claims incurred.
Stock Incentive Plans

The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Cooperative advertising costs are normally expensed at the time the revenue is earned. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 totaled approximately $60.5 million, $60.2 million and $50.1 million, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Expenses
All shipping and handling fees charged to customers are included as a component of net sales. Shipping and handling costs are included as a part of cost of goods sold, with the exception of certain handling costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the amount of $29.3 million, $31.0 million and $29.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 consisted of the following (in millions):
	2013			2012			2011
Interest expense	$	78.8		$	77.7		$	59
Interest income	(20.8		)	(20.1		)	(28.8		)
	$	58		$	57.6		$	30.2
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Refer to Note 5 for additional information regarding the Company’s income taxes.
Net Income Per Common Share
Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income per common share assumes the exercise of outstanding stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights (“SSARs”), the vesting of restricted stock and performance share awards, 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.
The Company’s $201.2 million aggregate principal amount of 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes provided for the settlement upon conversion in cash up to the principal amount of the converted notes with any excess conversion value settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. Dilution of weighted shares outstanding depends on the Company’s stock price for the excess conversion value using the treasury stock method (Note 6). 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 during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows (in millions, except per share data):
	2013			2012			2011
Basic net income per share:
Net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries	$	597.2		$	522.1		$	583.3
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding	97.3			97.1			95.6
Basic net income per share attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries	$	6.14		$	5.38		$	6.1
Diluted net income per share:
Net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries	$	597.2		$	522.1		$	583.3
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding	97.3			97.1			95.6
Dilutive stock options, SSARs, performance share awards and restricted stock awards	0.8			1			0.6
Weighted average assumed conversion of contingently convertible senior subordinated notes	1.3			0.5			1.9
Weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for purposes of computing diluted net income per share	99.4			98.6			98.1
Diluted net income per share attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries	$	6.01		$	5.3		$	5.95
SSARs to purchase 0.8 million shares, 0.6 million shares and 0.3 million shares, respectively, were outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, but not included in the calculation of weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding because they had an antidilutive impact.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports comprehensive income (loss), defined as the total of net income (loss) and all other non-owner changes in equity and the components thereof in its Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The components of other comprehensive loss and the related tax effects for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are as follows (in millions):

Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets for “Cash and cash equivalents,” “Accounts and notes receivable” and “Accounts payable” approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of long-term debt under the Company’s 41/2% senior term loan and credit facility (Note 6) approximate fair value based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities. At December 31, 2013, the estimated fair values of the Company’s 57/8% senior notes and 11/4% convertible notes (Note 6), based on their listed market values, were $322.1 million and $290.5 million, respectively, compared to their carrying values of $300.0 million and $201.2 million, respectively. At December 31, 2012, the estimated fair values of the Company’s 57/8% senior notes and 11/4% convertible notes (Note 6), 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.
The Company uses foreign currency contracts to hedge the foreign currency exposure of certain receivables and payables. The contracts are for periods consistent with the exposure being hedged and generally have maturities of one year or less. These contracts are classified as non-designated derivative instruments. The Company also enters into foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges of expected sales. The Company’s foreign currency contracts mitigate risk due to exchange rate fluctuations because gains and losses on these contracts generally offset losses and gains on the exposure being hedged.
The notional amounts of the foreign currency contracts do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, therefore, are not a measure of the Company’s risk. The amounts exchanged are calculated on the basis of the notional amounts and other terms of the contracts. The credit and market risks under these contracts are not considered to be significant. The Company’s hedging policy prohibits it from entering into any foreign currency contracts for speculative trading purposes. Refer to Note 10 for additional information regarding the Company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 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 FASB issued ASU 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 ASU 2013-02 as of January 1, 2013 by presenting the required amounts in its footnote disclosures (Note 8).
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU 2012-02”). ASU 2012-02 permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If an entity concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of such an asset exceeds its carrying amount, it need not calculate the fair value of the asset in that year. This standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU 2011-08”). ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it need not perform the two-step impairment test. This standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 increases the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements. ASU 2011-05 does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The standard initially required that reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income be measured and presented by income statement line item on the face of the statement of operations. In December 2011, however, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05” (“ASU 2011-12”). ASU 2011-12 defers the requirement to present components of reclassifications of other comprehensive income on the face of the statement of operations. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 and 2011-12 by consecutively presenting the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

	Acquisitions
	In January 2012, the Company acquired 61% of Santal for approximately R$36.7 million, net of approximately
	R$11.9 million cash acquired (or approximately $20.1 million, net). Santal, headquartered in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, manufactures and distributes sugar cane planting, harvesting, handling and transportation equipment as well as replacement parts across Brazil. The acquisition of Santal will provide the Company’s customers in Brazil with a wider range of agricultural products and services. The acquisition was funded with available cash on hand. The Company recorded approximately $28.0 million of goodwill and approximately $2.6 million of trade name, trademark and patent identifiable intangible assets associated with the acquisition. The goodwill generally resulted from the value of the cash flows expected to be generated in the future compared to the asset intensity of the business. The goodwill was reported within the Company’s South American geographical reportable segment. The Company and the seller each have a call option and put option, respectively, with varying dates with respect to the remaining 39% interest in Santal. The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest in Santal was recorded within “Temporary equity” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of the acquisition date. The acquired other identifiable intangible assets of Santal as of the date of acquisition are summarized in the following table (in millions):
	Intangible Asset		Amount		Weighted-Average
					Useful Life
	Trademarks and trade names		$	1.5	5	years
	Patents		1.1		5	years
			$	2.6
	On November 30, 2011, the Company acquired GSI Holdings Corp. (“GSI”) for $932.2 million, net of approximately $27.9 million cash acquired. GSI, headquartered in Assumption, Illinois, is a leading manufacturer of grain storage and protein production systems. GSI sells its products globally through independent dealers. The acquisition was financed by the issuance of $300.0 million of 57/8% senior notes and the Company’s credit facility (Note 6). As a result of the acquisition, the Company recorded a tax benefit of approximately $149.3 million within “Income tax (benefit) provision” in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011, resulting from a reversal of a portion of its previously established deferred tax valuation allowance. The reversal was required to offset deferred tax liabilities established as part of the acquisition accounting for GSI relating to acquired amortizable intangible assets (Note 5). The final fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date are presented in the following table (in millions):
	Current assets		$	216
	Property, plant and equipment		69.6
	Intangible assets		438.5
	Goodwill		535.7
	Other noncurrent assets		2.1
	Total assets acquired		1,261.90
	Current liabilities		133.6
	Deferred tax liabilities		162.8
	Long-term debt and other noncurrent liabilities		5.4
	Total liabilities assumed		301.8
	Net assets acquired		$	960.1
	On November 30, 2011, the Company acquired 98% of Shandong Dafeng Machinery Co., Ltd. (“Dafeng”) for approximately 171.7 million yuan (or approximately $26.9 million). The Company acquired approximately $17.1 million of cash and assumed approximately $41.1 million of indebtedness associated with the transaction. Dafeng is located in Yanzhou, China and manufactures a complete range of corn, grain, rice and soybean harvesting machines for Chinese domestic markets. The acquisition was funded with available cash on hand. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest in Dafeng was recorded within “Noncontrolling interests” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of the acquisition date. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $22.4 million within “Impairment charge” in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations associated with the write-down of its Chinese harvesting reporting unit’s goodwill and certain other identifiable intangible assets. Refer to Note 1 for additional information.
	The results of operations for the Santal, GSI, and Dafeng acquisitions have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of and from the dates of the respective acquisitions. The Company allocated the purchase price of each acquisition to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the respective acquisition dates. In general, the acquired assets of the acquisitions consisted primarily of accounts receivable, inventories, property, plant and equipment, and other identifiable intangible assets. The liabilities assumed generally consisted of accounts payable and indebtedness.
	The following unaudited pro forma data summarizes the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 as if the prior years’ acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 2010. The unaudited pro forma information does not reflect the impact of future events that may occur after the acquisitions, including, but not limited to, anticipated cost savings from operating synergies. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been adjusted to give effect to adjustments that are directly related to the business combinations, factually supportable and expected to have a continuing impact. The adjustments include the application of the Company’s accounting policies, depreciation and amortization related to fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and inventory, tax-related adjustments, and the impact of the Company’s issuance of $300.0 million of 57/8% senior notes and the new credit facility, which were used to finance the acquisition of GSI. This unaudited pro forma information has been prepared for comparative purposes only and does not purport to represent what the results of operations of the Company actually would have been had the transactions occurred on the date indicated or what the results of operations may be in any future period (in millions, except per share data):

	Accounts Receivable Sales Agreements
	At December 31, 2013 and 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 December 31, 2013 and 2012, the cash received from receivables sold under the U.S., Canadian and European accounts receivable sales agreements was approximately $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively.
	Under the terms of the accounts receivable sales 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 are reflected within losses on the sales of receivables included within “Other expense, net” in the Company’s 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.
	The Company’s former European accounts receivable securitization facilities expired in October 2011. Wholesale accounts receivable were sold on a revolving basis to commercial paper conduits under the European facilities through a wholly-owned qualified special purpose entity in the United Kingdom. Losses on sales of receivables under the Company’s former European securitization facilities were reflected within “Interest expense, net” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations during 2011.
	Losses on sales of receivables associated with the accounts receivable financing facilities discussed above, reflected within “Other expense, net” and “Interest expense, net” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, were approximately $25.6 million, $21.8 million and $22.0 million during 2013, 2012 and 2011, 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 December 31, 2013 and 2012, these retail finance joint ventures had approximately $68.2 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.

	At December 31, 2013, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries had approximately $3.1 billion of undistributed earnings. These earnings are considered to be indefinitely invested, and, accordingly, no income taxes have been provided on these earnings. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred taxes on these earnings is not practicable; however, unrecognized foreign tax credits would be available to reduce a portion of the tax liability.
	A reconciliation of income taxes computed at the United States federal statutory income tax rate (35%) to the provision for income taxes reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows (in millions):
		2013			2012			2011
	Provision for income taxes at United States federal statutory rate of 35%	$	280.9		$	210.3		$	196.3

		$	258.5		$	137.9		$	24.6
	The “change in valuation allowance” for the year ended December 31, 2012 primarily relates to the usage of approximately $54.7 million of valuation allowance due to income generated in the United States during 2012. The 2012 income tax provision also includes a reversal of approximately $13.8 million of remaining valuation allowance previously established against the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets (as reflected above in the “change in valuation allowance”) as well as the recognition of certain U.S. research and development tax credits of approximately $13.1 million. The “change in valuation allowance” for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes a reversal of approximately $149.3 million of valuation allowance previously established against the Company’s deferred tax assets in the United States. The reversal was required to offset deferred tax liabilities established as part of the acquisition accounting for GSI.
	The significant components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows (in millions):
		2013			2012
	Deferred Tax Assets:
	Net operating loss carryforwards	$	69.7		$	94.9
	Sales incentive discounts	68.7			55.8
	Inventory valuation reserves	29.4			27
	Pensions and postretirement health care benefits	69.7			102.4

	Deferred Tax Liabilities:
	Tax over book depreciation and amortization	314.7			341
	Other	21.6			21.3
	Total deferred tax liabilities	336.3			362.3
	Net deferred tax assets	$	9.7		$	41.2
	Amounts recognized in Consolidated Balance Sheets:
	Deferred tax assets - current	$	241.2		$	243.5
	Deferred tax assets - noncurrent	24.4			40
	Other current (liabilities) assets	(4.7		)	0.4
	Deferred tax liabilities - noncurrent	(251.2		)	(242.7		)
		$	9.7		$	41.2
	The Company recorded a net deferred tax asset of $9.7 million and $41.2 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As reflected in the preceding table, the Company had a valuation allowance of $77.2 million and $74.5 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company assessed the likelihood that its deferred tax assets would be recovered from estimated future taxable income and available tax planning strategies and determined that the valuation allowance at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was appropriate. In making this assessment, all available evidence was considered, including the current economic climate, as well as reasonable tax planning strategies. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the remaining deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance, in future years.
	The Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $334.9 million as of December 31, 2013, with expiration dates as follows: 2014 - $0.0 million; 2015 - $8.7 million; 2016 - $95.2 million; and thereafter or unlimited - $231.0 million. These net operating loss carryforwards of $334.9 million were entirely net operating loss carryforwards outside of the United States.
	The Company paid income taxes of $174.5 million, $147.7 million and $116.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had $122.2 million and $94.5 million, respectively, of unrecognized income tax benefits, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had approximately $61.9 million and $23.5 million, respectively, of accrued or deferred taxes related to uncertain income tax positions connected with ongoing income tax audits in various jurisdictions that it expects to settle or pay in the next 12 months. The Company accrued approximately $2.3 million and $3.8 million of interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes during 2013 and 2012, respectively. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $14.4 million and $11.9 million, respectively.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of and during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows (in millions):
	2013			2012
Gross unrecognized income tax benefits	$	94.5		$	71.1
Additions for tax positions of the current year	34.7			18.5
Additions for tax positions of prior years	3.6			7.3
Additions for tax positions related to acquisitions	—			1.1

Gross unrecognized income tax benefits	$	122.2		$	94.5
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and in various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The Company and its subsidiaries are routinely examined by tax authorities in these jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2013, a number of income tax examinations in foreign jurisdictions were ongoing. It is possible that certain of these ongoing examinations may be resolved within 12 months. Due to the potential for resolution of federal, state and foreign examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible that the Company’s gross unrecognized income tax benefits balance may materially change within the next 12 months. Due to the number of jurisdictions and issues involved and the uncertainty regarding the timing of any settlements, the Company is unable at this time to provide a reasonable estimate of such change that may occur within the next 12 months. Although there are ongoing examinations in various jurisdictions, the 2010 through 2013 tax years generally remain subject to examination in the United States by federal and state authorities. In the Company’s significant foreign jurisdictions, primarily the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Switzerland, Finland and Brazil, the 2008 through 2013 tax years generally remain subject to examination by their respective tax authorities. In Brazil, the Company is contesting disallowed deductions related to the amortization of certain goodwill amounts (Note 11).

	Less: unamortized discount	—			(9.2		)
	Net carrying amount	$	201.2		$	192.1
	The following table sets forth the interest expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 relating to both the contractual interest coupon and the amortization of the discount on the liability component for the Company’s former 13/4% convertible senior subordinated notes and the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes (in millions):
		Years Ended December 31,
		2013			2012			2011
	1¾% Convertible senior subordinated notes:
	Interest expense	$	—		$	—		$	0.9
	1¼% Convertible senior subordinated notes:
	Interest expense	$	11.7		$	11.2		$	10.7
	The effective interest rate on the liability component for the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was 6.1%. The unamortized discount for the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes was amortized through December 2013, as this was the earliest date that the notes’ holders could require the Company to repurchase the notes.
	Cash payments for interest were approximately $66.4 million, $70.0 million and $47.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	The Company’s 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes, due December 15, 2036, were issued in December 2006 and provided for 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. 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 $40.44 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 24.7268 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes.
	The notes contain certain anti-dilution provisions designed to protect the holders’ interests. If a change of control transaction that qualified as a “fundamental change” occurred on or prior to December 15, 2013, under certain circumstances the Company increased the conversion rate for the notes converted in connection with the transaction by a number of additional shares (as used in this paragraph, the “make whole shares”). A fundamental change is any transaction or event in connection with which 50% or more of the Company’s common stock is exchanged for, converted into, acquired for or constitutes solely the right to receive consideration that is not at least 90% common stock listed on a U.S. national securities exchange, or approved for quotation on an automated quotation system. The amount of the increase in the conversion rate would have depended on the effective date of the transaction and an average price per share of the Company’s common stock as of the effective date. No adjustment to the conversion rate would have been made if the price per share of common stock is less than $31.33 per share or more than $180.00 per share. The number of additional make whole shares range from 7.3658 shares per $1,000 principal amount at $31.33 per share to 0.0000 shares per $1,000 principal amount at $180.00 per share for the year ended December 15, 2013. If the acquirer or certain of its affiliates in the fundamental change transaction had publicly traded common stock, the Company would, instead of increasing the conversion rate as described above, cause the notes to become convertible into publicly traded common stock of the acquirer, with principal of the notes to be repaid in cash, and the balance, if any, payable in shares of such acquirer common stock. At no time will the Company issue an aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock upon conversion of the notes in excess of 31.9183 shares per $1,000 principal amount thereof. If the holders of the Company’s common stock receive only cash in a fundamental change transaction, then holders of the notes will receive cash as well. Holders may convert the notes only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter, if the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 120% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter; (2) during the five business day period after a five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per note for each day of that period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate; (3) if the notes have been called for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of certain corporate transactions. Beginning December 19, 2013, the Company could 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. Holders of the notes may require the Company to repurchase the notes at a repurchase price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, on December 15, 2016, 2021, 2026 and 2031. Holders may also require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the notes upon a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The notes are senior subordinated obligations and are subordinated to all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all debt and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries.
	Holders of the Company’s 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes had the right to require the Company to repurchase the notes at a repurchase price of 100% of their principal amount, plus any interest, on December 15, 2013. No notes were tendered for repurchase. 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 $40.44 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2013, and, therefore, the holders of the notes may convert the notes during the three months ending March 31, 2014. Due to the ability of the holders of the notes to convert the notes during the three months ending March 31, 2014, the Company classified the notes as a current liability as of 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. The Company classified approximately $9.2 million of the equity component of the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes as “Temporary equity” as of December 31, 2012. 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. As of December 31, 2013, the amount of principal cash required to be repaid upon conversion of the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes was equivalent to the carrying amount of the liability-classified component. Future classification of the notes between current liabilities and long-term debt will be dependent on the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock during future quarters, until the fourth quarter of 2015.
	During the year ended December 31, 2013, holders of the Company’s 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes converted less than $0.1 million of principal amount of the notes. The Company issued 286 shares of its common stock associated with the less than $0.1 million excess conversion value of the notes. The Company reflected the repayment of the principal of the notes totaling less than $0.1 million within “Conversion of convertible senior subordinated notes” within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2013. During 2011, holders of the Company’s former 13/4% convertible senior subordinated notes converted approximately $161.0 million of principal amount of the notes. The Company issued 3,926,574 shares of its common stock associated with the $195.9 million excess conversion value of the notes. The Company reflected the repayment of the principal of the notes totaling $161.0 million within “Conversion of convertible senior subordinated notes” within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2011.
	Subsequent to December 31, 2013, holders of the Company’s 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes converted approximately $49.6 million of principal amount of the notes. The Company issued 377,957 shares of its common stock associated with the $21.9 million excess conversion value of the notes.
	4 1/2% Senior term loan
	The Company’s €200.0 million (or approximately $275.0 million) 41/2% senior term loan with 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 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 $360.0 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 U.S. 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 December 31, 2013, the Company had $360.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and availability to borrow approximately $600.0 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.
	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 December 31, 2013 and 2012, outstanding letters of credit totaled $16.7 million and $15.8 million, respectively.

The estimated net actuarial loss and net prior service credit for defined benefit pension plans expected to be amortized from the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss during the year ended December 31, 2014 are approximately $8.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss included a net actuarial loss of approximately $4.1 million and a net prior service cost of approximately $3.9 million related to the Company’s U.S. and Brazilian postretirement health care benefit plans. The estimated net actuarial loss and net prior service cost for postretirement health care benefit plans expected to be amortized from the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss during the year ended December 31, 2014 are approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
The weighted average assumptions used to determine the benefit obligation for the Company’s pension plans as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:
	2013			2012
All plans:
Weighted average discount rate	4.3	%		4.3	%
Rate of increase in future compensation	2.5-4.5%			2.5-4.0%
U.S.-based plans:
Weighted average discount rate	4.8	%		3.9	%
Rate of increase in future compensation	N/A			N/A
The weighted average discount rate used to determine the benefit obligation for the Company’s postretirement benefit plans for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was 5.3% and 4.7%, respectively.
The aggregate projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for pension and other postretirement plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $873.6 million, $834.5 million and $653.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2013, and $870.8 million, $830.8 million and $569.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation, and fair value of plan assets for the Company’s U.S-based qualified pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $48.1 million, $48.1 million and $41.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2013, and $54.4 million, $54.4 million and $36.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. The Company’s accumulated comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2013 reflects a reduction of equity of $268.2 million, net of taxes of $74.0 million, primarily related to the Company’s U.K. pension plan, where the projected benefit obligation exceeded the plan assets. In addition, the Company’s accumulated comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2013 reflects a reduction of equity of approximately $1.3 million, net of taxes of $0.4 million, related to the Company’s GIMA joint venture. The amount represents 50% of GIMA’s unrecognized net actuarial losses and unrecognized prior service cost associated with its pension plan. The Company’s accumulated comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2012 reflected a reduction of equity of $336.3 million, net of taxes of $90.2 million, primarily related to the Company’s U.K. pension plan, where the projected benefit obligation exceeded the plan assets. In addition, the Company’s accumulated comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2012 reflected a reduction of equity of approximately $1.4 million, net of taxes of $0.5 million related to the Company’s GIMA joint venture. This amount represented 50% of GIMA’s unrecognized net actuarial losses and unrecognized prior service cost associated with its pension plan.
For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company used a globally consistent methodology to set the discount rate in the countries where its largest benefit obligations exist. In the United States, the United Kingdom and the Euro Zone, the Company constructed a hypothetical bond portfolio of high-quality corporate bonds and then applied the cash flows of the Company’s benefit plans to those bond yields to derive a discount rate. The bond portfolio and plan-specific cash flows vary by country, but the methodology in which the portfolio is constructed is consistent. In the United States, the bond portfolio is large enough to result in taking a “settlement approach” to derive the discount rate, where high-quality corporate bonds are assumed to be purchased and the resulting coupon payments and maturities are used to satisfy the Company’s largest U.S. pension plan’s projected benefit payments. In the United Kingdom and the Euro Zone, the discount rate is derived using a “yield curve approach,” where an individual spot rate, or zero coupon bond yield, for each future annual period is developed to discount each future benefit payment and, thereby, determine the present value of all future payments. Under the settlement and yield curve approaches, the discount rate is set to equal the single discount rate that produces the same present value of all future payments.

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC 820”), establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described as follows:
Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
•	quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
•	quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
•	inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and
•	inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s valuation techniques are designed to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company uses the following valuation methodologies to measure the fair value of the plan assets:
Equity Securities: Equity securities are valued on the basis of the closing price per unit on each business day as reported on the applicable exchange.
Fixed Income: Fixed income securities are valued using the closing prices in the active market in which the fixed income investment trades. Fixed income funds are valued using the net asset value of the fund, which is based on the fair value of the underlying securities.
Cash: These investments primarily consist of short term investment funds which are valued using the net asset value.
Alternative Investments and Pooled Funds: These investments are reported at fair value as determined by the general partner of the alternative investment or pooled fund. The “market approach” valuation technique is used to value investments in these funds. The funds are typically open-end funds as they generally offer subscription and redemption options to investors. The frequency of such subscriptions or redemptions is dictated by each fund’s governing documents. The amount of liquidity provided to investors in a particular fund is generally consistent with the liquidity and risk associated with the underlying portfolio (i.e., the more liquid the investments in the portfolio, the greater the liquidity provided to investors). Liquidity of individual funds varies based on various factors and may include “gates,” “holdbacks” and “side pockets” imposed by the manager of the fund, as well as redemption fees that may also apply. Investments in these funds are typically valued utilizing the net asset valuations provided by their underlying investment managers, general partners or administrators. The funds consider subscription and redemption rights, including any restrictions on the disposition of the interest, in its determination of the fair value.
Insurance Contracts: Insurance contracts are valued using current prevailing interest rates.

All tax-qualified pension fund investments in the United States are held in the AGCO Corporation Master Pension Trust. The Company’s global pension fund strategy is to diversify investments across broad categories of equity and fixed income securities with appropriate use of alternative investment categories to minimize risk and volatility. The primary investment objective of the Company’s pension plans is to secure participant retirement benefits. As such, the key objective in the pension plans’ financial management is to promote stability and, to the extent appropriate, growth in funded status.
The investment strategy for the plans’ portfolio of assets balances the requirement to generate returns with the need to control risk. The asset mix is recognized as the primary mechanism to influence the reward and risk structure of the pension fund investments in an effort to accomplish the plans’ funding objectives. The overall investment strategy for the U.S.-based pension plans is to achieve a mix of approximately 15% of assets for the near-term benefit payments and 85% for longer-term growth. The overall U.S. pension funds invest in a broad diversification of asset types. The Company’s U.S. target allocation of retirement fund investments is 45% large- and small-cap domestic equity securities, 15% international equity securities, 20% broad fixed income securities and 20% in alternative investments. The Company has noted that over very long periods, this mix of investments would achieve an average return of approximately 7.0%. The overall investment strategy for the non-U.S. based pension plans is to achieve a mix of approximately 30% of assets for the near-term benefit payments and 70% for longer-term growth. The overall non-U.S. pension funds invest in a broad diversification of asset types. The Company’s non-U.S. target allocation of retirement fund investments is 45% equity securities, 30% broad fixed income investments and 25% in alternative investments. The majority of the Company’s non-U.S. pension fund investments are related to the Company’s pension plan in the United Kingdom. The Company has noted that over very long periods, this mix of investments would achieve an average return in excess of 7.8%. In arriving at the choice of an expected return assumption of 7.0% for its U.K.-based plans for the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company has tempered this historical indicator with lower expectations for returns and equity investment in the future as well as the administrative costs of the plans.
Equity securities primarily include investments in large-cap and small-cap companies located across the globe. Fixed income securities include corporate bonds of companies from diversified industries, mortgage-backed securities, agency mortgages, asset-backed securities and government securities. Alternative and other assets include investments in hedge fund of funds that follow diversified investment strategies. To date, the Company has not invested pension funds in its own stock and has no intention of doing so in the future.
Within each asset class, careful consideration is given to balancing the portfolio among industry sectors, geographies, interest rate sensitivity, dependence on economic growth, currency and other factors affecting investment returns. The assets are managed by professional investment firms, who are bound by precise mandates and are measured against specific benchmarks. Among asset managers, consideration is given, among others, to balancing security concentration, issuer concentration, investment style and reliance on particular active investment strategies.
For measuring the expected U.S. postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company assumed an 7.5% and 8.0% health care cost trend rate for 2014 and 2013, respectively, decreasing to 5.0% by 2019. For measuring the Brazilian postretirement benefit plan obligation at December 31, 2013, the Company assumed a 12.25% health care cost trend rate for 2014, decreasing to 6.45% by 2024. For measuring the Brazilian postretirement benefit plan obligation at December 31, 2012, the Company assumed a 10.7% health care cost trend rate for 2013, decreasing to 6.2% by 2022. Changing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point each year and holding all other assumptions constant would have the following effect to service and interest cost for 2013 and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2013 (in millions):
	One Percentage				One Percentage
	Point Increase				Point Decrease
Effect on service and interest cost	$	0.4			$	(0.3	)
Effect on accumulated benefit obligation	$	3.8			$	(3.8	)
The Company currently estimates its minimum contributions to its U.S.-based defined pension plans for 2014 will aggregate approximately $2.6 million. The Company currently estimates its benefit payments for 2014 to its U.S.-based postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans will aggregate approximately $1.8 million and its benefits for 2014 to its Brazilian postretirement health care benefit plans will aggregate approximately less than $0.1 million. The Company currently estimates its minimum contributions for underfunded plans and benefit payments for unfunded plans for 2014 to its non-U.S.-based defined pension plans will aggregate approximately $40.0 million, of which approximately $25.6 million relates to its U.K. pension plan.
During 2013, approximately $53.5 million of benefit payments were made related to the Company’s pension plans. At December 31, 2013, the aggregate expected benefit payments for all of the Company’s pension plans are as follows (in millions):

The Company participates in a small number of multiemployer plans in the Netherlands and Sweden. The Company has assessed and determined that none of the multiemployer plans which it participates in are individually, or in the aggregate, significant to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not expect to incur a withdrawal liability or expect to significantly increase its contributions over the remainder of the multiemployer plans’ contract periods.
The Company maintains an Executive Nonqualified Pension Plan (“ENPP”), which provides U.S.-based senior executives with retirement income for a period of 15 years based on a percentage of the average of their highest three non-consecutive years of base salary and bonus during their final ten years of employment (referred to as their “three-year average compensation”), reduced by the senior executive’s social security benefits and 401(k) employer-matching contributions, as if the executive had made the maximum contribution. The benefit paid to the executives ranges from 2.25% to 3.00% of their three-year average compensation multiplied by credited years of service (subject to a maximum of 20 years). For nearly all participants, benefits under the ENPP vest if the participant has attained age 50 with at least ten years of service (five years of which include years of participation in the ENPP), but are not payable until the participant reaches age 65 or upon termination of services because of death or disability, adjusted to reflect payment prior to age 65.

The weighted average discount rate used to determine the benefit obligation for the ENPP for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was 4.8% and 3.9%, respectively.
At December 31, 2013, the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss included a net actuarial loss of approximately $5.2 million and a net prior service cost of approximately $4.7 million related to the ENPP. The estimated net actuarial loss and net prior service cost related to the ENPP expected to be amortized from the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss during the year ended December 31, 2014 are approximately $0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
At December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a reduction to equity of $9.9 million, in addition to a deferred tax liability of $1.4 million, related to the unfunded projected benefit obligation of the ENPP. At December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a reduction to equity of $17.5 million, net of taxes of $1.6 million, related to the unfunded projected benefit obligation of the ENPP. Refer to Note 5 for information on the reversal of the valuation allowance previously established against the Company’s deferred tax assets in the United States.

	Common Stock
	At December 31, 2013, the Company had 150.0 million authorized shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, with approximately 97.4 million shares of common stock outstanding and approximately 3.6 million shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) (Note 9).
	The Company has a stockholder rights plan, which was adopted in April 1994 following stockholder approval. The plan provides that each share of common stock outstanding will have attached to it the right to purchase a one-hundredth of a share of Junior Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a par value $0.01 per share. The purchase price per each one-hundredth of a share is $110.00, subject to adjustment. The rights will be exercisable only if a person or group (“acquirer”) acquires 20% or more of the Company’s common stock or announces a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in the acquisition of 20% or more of the Company’s common stock or, in some circumstances, if additional conditions are met. Once they are exercisable, the plan allows stockholders, other than the acquirer, to purchase the Company’s common stock or securities of the acquirer with a then current market value of two times the exercise price of the right. The rights are redeemable for $0.01 per right, subject to adjustment, at the option of the Company’s Board of Directors. The rights will expire on April 26, 2014, unless they are extended, redeemed or exchanged by the Company before that date.
	Share Repurchase Program
	In July 2012, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is permitted to repurchase up to $50.0 million of shares of its common stock. During 2013, through open market transactions, the Company repurchased 19,510 shares of its common stock for approximately $1.0 million at an average price paid of $49.34 per share. During 2012, the Company repurchased 409,007 shares of its common stock for approximately $17.6 million at an average price paid of $43.14 per share under the program through open market transactions. Repurchased shares were retired on the date of purchase, and the excess of the purchase price over par value per share was recorded to “Additional paid-in capital” within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. In December 2013, the Board of Directors approved an additional share repurchase program under which the Company is permitted to repurchase up to $500.0 million of shares of its common stock.
	During 2014, the Company entered into accelerated repurchase agreements (“ASRs”) with a financial institution to repurchase an aggregate of $290.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company received approximately 4.2 million shares to date in these transactions. The specific number of shares the Company will ultimately repurchase will be determined at the completion of the terms of the ASRs based on the daily volume-weighted average share price of the Company’s common stock less an agreed upon discount. Upon settlement of the ASRs, the Company may be entitled to receive additional shares of common stock, or under certain circumstances, be required to remit a settlement amount. The Company expects that additional shares will be received by the Company upon final settlement of its current ASR, which expires during the third quarter of 2014. All shares received under the ASRs discussed above were retired upon receipt and the excess of the purchase price over par value per share was recorded to “Additional paid-in capital” within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Of the $550.0 million in approved share repurchase programs, the remaining amount authorized to be repurchased is approximately $241.4 million.

Stock Incentive Plans	'
	Stock Incentive Plan
	Under 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, stock options and restricted stock awards to employees, officers and non-employee directors of the Company.
	Employee Plans
	The 2006 Plan encompasses stock incentive plans to Company executives and key managers. The primary long-term incentive plan is a performance share plan that provides for awards of shares of the Company’s common stock based on achieving financial targets, such as targets for earnings per share and return on invested capital, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company’s other incentive plan includes the margin growth incentive plan, which provides for awards of shares of the Company’s common stock based on achieving operating margin targets as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The stock awards under the 2006 Plan are earned over a performance period, and the number of shares earned is determined based on the cumulative or average results for the period, depending on the measurement. Performance periods for the long-term incentive plan are consecutive and overlapping three-year cycles, and performance targets are set at the beginning of each cycle. The long-term incentive plan provides for participants to earn 33% to 200% of the target awards depending on the actual performance achieved, with no shares earned if performance is below the established minimum target. The performance period for the margin growth incentive plan is a three- to five-year cycle commencing in January 2011 and performance targets were set at the beginning of the cycle. The margin growth incentive plan provides for participants to earn 33% to 300% of the target awards depending on the actual performance achieved, with no shares earned if performance is below the established minimum target. Awards earned under the 2006 Plan are paid in shares of common stock at the end of each performance period. The compensation expense associated with these awards 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.
	Compensation expense recorded during 2013, 2012 and 2011 with respect to awards granted was based upon the stock price as of the grant date. The weighted average grant-date fair value of performance awards granted under the 2006 Plan during 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $51.51, $52.11 and $52.73, respectively. Based on the level of performance achieved as of December 31, 2013, 622,018 shares were earned under the 2011-2013 performance period and 368,497 shares were issued in 2014, net of 226,721 shares that were withheld for taxes related to the earned awards. Based on the level of performance achieved as of December 31, 2012, 748,137 shares were earned under the 2010-2012 performance period and 473,499 shares were issued in 2013, net of 274,638 shares that were withheld for taxes related to the earned awards. The 2006 Plan allows for the participant 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 participant’s statutory minimum federal, state and employment taxes which would be payable at the time of grant.
	During 2013, the Company granted 1,103,494 awards for the three-year performance period commencing in 2013 and ending in 2015, assuming the maximum target level of performance is achieved. In addition, the Company granted 29,158 awards for the three-year performance period commencing in 2012 and ending in 2014, and 8,042 awards for the three-year performance period commencing in 2011 and ending in 2013. These awards were granted on a pro-rated basis and assume maximum target levels of performance are achieved. The Company also granted 11,250 awards during 2013 under the margin growth incentive plan on a prorated basis for a performance period commencing in 2011 and ending in 2015, assuming the maximum target level of performance is achieved for operating margin improvement. Performance award transactions during 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	1,151,944
	Shares forfeited or unearned	(230,730	)
	Shares earned	(622,018	)
	Shares awarded but not earned at December 31	2,808,519
	As of December 31, 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 $33.7 million, and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately two years.
	In addition to the performance share plans, certain executives and key managers are eligible to receive grants of SSARs. The SSARs provide a participant with the right to receive the aggregate appreciation in stock price over the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock. The participant may exercise his or her SSARs at any time after the grant is vested but no later than seven years after the date of grant. The SSARs vest ratably over a four-year period from the date of grant. SSAR award grants made to certain executives and key managers under the 2006 Plan are made with the base price equal to the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $4.7 million, $3.8 million and $2.6 million associated with SSAR award grants during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The compensation expense associated with these awards is being amortized ratably over the vesting period. 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 years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011:

	SSAR transactions during the year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:
	SSARs outstanding at January 1	1,073,087
	SSARs granted	335,630
	SSARs exercised	(251,536		)
	SSARs canceled or forfeited	(62,345		)
	SSARs outstanding at December 31	1,094,836

	Weighted average SSAR exercise prices per share:
	Granted	$	52.96
	Exercised	33.74
	Canceled or forfeited	49.86
	Outstanding at December 31	46.35
	At December 31, 2013, the weighted average remaining contractual life of SSARs outstanding was approximately four years. As of December 31, 2013, the total compensation cost related to unvested SSARs not yet recognized was approximately $10.2 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 lives by groups of similar price as of December 31, 2013:
			SSARs Outstanding								SSARs Exercisable
	Range of Exercise Prices		Number of		Weighted Average		Weighted Average				Exercisable as of December 31, 2013	Weighted Average

			1,094,836								464,706	$	39.26
	The total fair value of SSARs vested during 2013 was approximately $3.6 million. There were 630,130 SSARs that were not vested as of December 31, 2013. The total intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable SSARs as of December 31, 2013 was $14.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of SSARs exercised during 2013 was approximately $5.7 million. The Company realized an insignificant tax benefit from the exercise of these SSARs.
	The excess tax benefit realized for tax deductions in the United States related to the exercise of SSARs, vesting of performance awards under the 2006 Plan and exercise of stock options under the Company’s 1991 Stock Option Plan was approximately $11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. No excess tax benefit was realized for tax deductions for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 in the United States. The Company realized an insignificant tax benefit from the exercise of SSARs, vesting of performance awards and exercise of stock options in certain foreign jurisdictions during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
	On January 22, 2014, the Company granted 432,300 performance award shares (subject to the Company achieving future target levels of performance) and 296,700 SSARs under the 2006 Plan.
	Director Restricted Stock Grants
	Pursuant to the 2006 Plan, all non-employee directors receive annual restricted stock grants of the Company’s common stock. The shares are restricted as to transferability for a period of three years. 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 2013 associated with these grants.
	As of December 31, 2013, of the 10.0 million shares reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan, approximately 3.6 million shares were available for grant, assuming the maximum number of shares are earned related to the performance award grants discussed above.

Derivative Instruments and Hedges, Assets [Abstract]	'
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities	'
	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
	All derivatives are recognized on the Company’s 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. 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, 2012 and 2011, 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 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 (loss) gain recorded in other comprehensive loss that was reclassified to cost of goods sold during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $(0.5) million, $(8.1) million and $5.2 million, respectively, on an after-tax basis. The amount of the unrealized (loss) gain recorded to other comprehensive loss related to the outstanding cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $(0.2) million, $0.7 million and $(4.3) million, respectively, on an after-tax basis. The outstanding contracts as of December 31, 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 years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (in millions):
			Before-Tax			Income			After-Tax

	-1	Rounding may impact summation of amounts.
	As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $50.3 million and $110.3 million, respectively, that were entered into to hedge forecasted sale and purchase transactions.
	Derivative Transactions Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
	During 2013, 2012 and 2011, 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 December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $1,288.4 million and $1,467.0 million, respectively, that were entered into to hedge receivables and payables that are 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 years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded a net gain of approximately $9.5 million, a net gain of approximately $5.5 million and a net loss of approximately $13.6 million, respectively, related to these contracts within “Other expense, net” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Gains and losses on such contracts are substantially offset by losses and gains on the remeasurement of the underlying asset or liability being hedged.

	Total derivative instruments			$	7				$	5.1
	The Company had unrealized gains of approximately $8.5 million and $1.9 million on foreign currency contracts outstanding at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to both designated and non-designated contracts. The Company recorded approximately $8.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of unrealized gains within “Other expense, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 related to non-designated contracts.
	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.

	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 December 31, 2013, the Company guaranteed indebtedness owed to third parties of approximately $171.6 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
	At December 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding designated and non-designated foreign exchange contracts with a gross notional amount of approximately $1,338.7 million. The outstanding contracts as of December 31, 2013 range in maturity through December 2014 (Note 10).
	The Company sells substantially all of its wholesale accounts receivable in North America to the Company’s U.S. and Canadian retail finance joint ventures and a large portion of its wholesale accounts receivable to its retail finance joint ventures in Europe. 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.
	Total lease expense under noncancelable operating leases was $72.8 million, $68.8 million and $57.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Contingencies
	As a result of Brazilian tax legislative changes impacting value added taxes (“VAT”), the Company recorded a reserve of approximately $62.8 million and $59.6 million against its outstanding balance of Brazilian VAT taxes receivable as of December 31, 2013 and 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. On February 12, 2014, the federal court dismissed the third-party complaint with prejudice. The appeals period has not expired. 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.
	In August 2008, 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 December 31, 2013, not including interest and penalties, was approximately 131.5 million Brazilian reais (or approximately $55.7 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.

	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 years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 based on the Company’s current reportable segments are as follows (in millions):

Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation
	The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements represent the consolidation of all wholly-owned companies, majority-owned companies and joint ventures where the Company has been determined to be the primary beneficiary. The Company records investments in all other affiliate companies using the equity method of accounting when it has significant influence. Other investments, including those representing an ownership of less than 20%, are recorded at cost. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Basis of Consolidation of Joint Ventures and Other Variable Interest Entities	'
	Basis of Consolidation of Joint Ventures and Other Variable Interest Entities
	GIMA is a joint venture between AGCO and Claas Tractor SAS to cooperate in the field of purchasing, design and manufacturing of components for agricultural tractors. Each party has a 50% ownership interest in the joint venture and has an investment of approximately €4.2 million in the joint venture. Both parties purchase all of the production output of the joint venture. The Company does not consolidate the GIMA joint venture into the Company’s results of operations or financial position, as the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in GIMA based on the shared powers of both joint venture partners to direct the activities that most significantly impact GIMA’s financial performance.
	Rabobank is a 51% owner in the Company’s retail finance joint ventures. The majority of the assets of the Company’s retail finance joint ventures represents finance receivables. The majority of the liabilities represents notes payable and accrued interest. Under the various joint venture agreements, Rabobank or its affiliates provide financing to the joint venture companies, primarily through lines of credit. The Company does not guarantee the debt obligations of the retail finance joint ventures. The Company’s retail finance joint ventures provide retail financing and wholesale financing to its dealers (Notes 3 and 12). The Company has determined that the retail finance joint ventures do not meet the consolidation requirements and should be accounted for under the voting interest model. In making this determination, the Company evaluated the sufficiency of the equity at risk for each retail finance joint venture, the ability of the joint venture investors to make decisions about the joint ventures’ activities that have a significant effect on the success of the entities and their economic performance, the obligations to absorb expected losses of the joint ventures, and the rights to receive expected residual returns.
	During 2011, the Company acquired 50% of AGCO-Amity JV, LLC (“AGCO-Amity JV”), thereby creating a joint venture between the Company and Amity Technology LLC. AGCO-Amity JV is located in North Dakota and manufactures air-seeding and tillage equipment. As the Company has a controlling voting interest to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint venture, the Company has consolidated the joint venture’s operations in the Company’s results of operations and financial position commencing as of and from the date of the formation of the joint venture.
	During 2012, the Company acquired 61% of Santal Equipamentos S.A. Comércio e Indústria (“Santal”), a manufacturer and distributor of sugar cane planting, harvesting, handling and transportation equipment as well as replacement parts across Brazil. As the Company has a controlling voting interest to direct the activities that most significantly impact Santal, the Company has consolidated Santal’s operations in the Company’s results of operations and financial position commencing as of and from the date of acquisition.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	Sales of equipment and replacement parts are recorded by the Company when title and risks of ownership have been transferred to an independent dealer, distributor or other customer. In certain countries, sales of certain grain storage and protein production systems where the Company is responsible for construction or installation are recorded at the completion of the project. Payment terms vary by market and product, with fixed payment schedules on all sales. The terms of sale generally require that a purchase order or order confirmation accompany all shipments. Title generally passes to the dealer or distributor upon shipment, and the risk of loss upon damage, theft or destruction of the equipment is the responsibility of the dealer, distributor or third-party carrier. In certain foreign countries, the Company retains a form of title to goods delivered to dealers until the dealer makes payment so that the Company can recover the goods in the event of customer default on payment. This occurs as the laws of some foreign countries do not provide for a seller’s retention of a security interest in goods in the same manner as established in the United States Uniform Commercial Code. The only right the Company retains with respect to the title are those enabling recovery of the goods in the event of customer default on payment. The dealer or distributor may not return equipment or replacement parts while its contract with the Company is in force. Replacement parts may be returned only under promotional and annual return programs. Provisions for returns under these programs are made at the time of sale based on the terms of the program and historical returns experience. The Company may provide certain sales incentives to dealers and distributors. Provisions for sales incentives are made at the time of sale for existing incentive programs. These provisions are revised in the event of subsequent modification to the incentive program. See “Accounts and Notes Receivable” for further discussion.
	In the United States and Canada, all equipment sales to dealers are immediately due upon a retail sale of the equipment by the dealer with the exception of sales of grain storage and protein production systems. If not previously paid by the dealer in the United States and Canada, installment payments are required generally beginning after the interest-free period with the remaining outstanding equipment balance generally due within 12 months after shipment. Interest generally is charged on the outstanding balance six to 12 months after shipment. Sales terms of some highly seasonal products provide for payment and due dates based on a specified date during the year regardless of the shipment date. Equipment sold to dealers in the United States and Canada is paid in full on average within 12 months of shipment. Sales of replacement parts generally are payable within 30 days of shipment, with terms for some larger, seasonal stock orders generally requiring payment within six months of shipment. Sales of grain storage and protein production systems generally are payable within 30 days of shipment.
	In other international markets, equipment sales are generally payable in full within 30 to 180 days of shipment. Payment terms for some highly seasonal products have a specified due date during the year regardless of the shipment date. Sales of replacement parts generally are payable within 30 to 90 days of shipment, with terms for some larger, seasonal stock orders generally payable within six months of shipment.
	In certain markets, particularly in North America, there is a time lag, which varies based on the timing and level of retail demand, between the date the Company records a sale and when the dealer sells the equipment to a retail customer.
Foreign Currency Transaction	'
	Foreign Currency Translation
	The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into United States currency in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 830, “Foreign Currency Matters.” Assets and liabilities are translated to United States dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in stockholders’ equity within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses, which result from foreign currency transactions, are included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates made by management primarily relate to accounts and notes receivable, inventories, deferred income tax valuation allowances, goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets, and certain accrued liabilities, principally relating to reserves for volume discounts and sales incentives, warranty obligations, product liability and workers’ compensation obligations, and pensions and postretirement benefits.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash at December 31, 2013 and 2012 of $465.2 million and $403.6 million, respectively, consisted primarily of cash on hand and bank deposits. The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents at December 31, 2013 and 2012 of $582.0 million and $377.7 million, respectively, consisted primarily of money market deposits, certificates of deposits and overnight investments.
Accounts and Notes Receivable	'
	Accounts and Notes Receivable
	Accounts and notes receivable arise from the sale of equipment and replacement parts to independent dealers, distributors or other customers. Payments due under the Company’s terms of sale generally range from one to 12 months and are not contingent upon the sale of the equipment by the dealer or distributor to a retail customer. Under normal circumstances, payment terms are not extended and equipment may not be returned. In certain regions, with respect to most equipment sales, including the United States and Canada, the Company is obligated to repurchase equipment and replacement parts upon cancellation of a dealer or distributor contract. These obligations are required by national, state or provincial laws and require the Company to repurchase a dealer or distributor’s unsold inventory, including inventories for which the receivable has already been paid.
	The Company offers various sales terms with respect to its products. For sales in most markets outside of the United States and Canada, the Company does not normally charge interest on outstanding receivables with its dealers and distributors. For sales to certain dealers or distributors in the United States and Canada, interest is charged at or above prime lending rates on outstanding receivable balances after interest-free periods. These interest-free periods vary by product and generally range from one to 12 months, with the exception of certain seasonal products, which bear interest after various periods up to 23 months depending on the time of year of the sale and the dealer or distributor’s sales volume during the preceding year. The Company’s North American geographical reportable segment comprised approximately 25.6% of the Company’s total net sales during 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2013, 20.8% and 4.3% of the Company’s net sales had maximum interest-free periods ranging from one to six months and seven to 12 months, respectively, related to its North American geographical reporting segment. Net sales with maximum interest-free periods ranging from 13 to 23 months were approximately 0.5% of the Company’s net sales during 2013. Actual interest-free periods are shorter than described above because the equipment receivable from dealers or distributors in the United States and Canada is due immediately upon sale of the equipment to a retail customer. Under normal circumstances, interest is not forgiven and interest-free periods are not extended. The Company has an agreement to permit transferring, on an ongoing basis, substantially all of its wholesale interest-bearing and non-interest bearing accounts receivable in North America to its U.S. and Canadian retail finance joint ventures. Upon transfer, the receivables maintain standard payment terms, including required regular principal payments on amounts outstanding, and interest charges at market rates. The Company also has accounts receivable sales agreements that permit the sale, on an ongoing basis, of a majority of its accounts receivables in Europe to its European retail finance joint ventures. Upon transfer, the receivables maintain standard payment terms. Qualified dealers may obtain additional financing through the Company’s U.S., Canadian and European retail finance joint ventures at the joint ventures’ discretion.
	The Company provides various volume bonus and sales incentive programs with respect to its products. These sales incentive programs include reductions in invoice prices, reductions in retail financing rates, dealer commissions and dealer incentive allowances. In most cases, incentive programs are established and communicated to the Company’s dealers on a quarterly basis. The incentives are paid either at the time of invoice (through a reduction of invoice price), at the time of the settlement of the receivable, at the time of retail financing, at the time of warranty registration, or at a subsequent time based on dealer purchases. The incentive programs are product-line specific and generally do not vary by dealer. The cost of sales incentives associated with dealer commissions and dealer incentive allowances is estimated based upon the terms of the programs and historical experience, is based on a percentage of the sales price, and is recorded at the later of (a) the date at which the related revenue is recognized, or (b) the date at which the sales incentive is offered. The related provisions and accruals are made on a product or product-line basis and are monitored for adequacy and revised at least quarterly in the event of subsequent modifications to the programs. Volume discounts are estimated and recognized based on historical experience, and related reserves are monitored and adjusted based on actual dealer purchases and the dealers’ progress towards achieving specified cumulative target levels. The Company records the cost of interest subsidy payments, which is a reduction in the retail financing rates, at the later of (a) the date at which the related revenue is recognized, or (b) the date at which the sales incentive is offered. Estimates of these incentives are based on the terms of the programs and historical experience. All incentive programs are recorded and presented as a reduction of revenue due to the fact that the Company does not receive an identifiable benefit in exchange for the consideration provided. Reserves for incentive programs that will be paid either through the reduction of future invoices or through credit memos are recorded as “accounts receivable allowances” within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Reserves for incentive programs that will be paid in cash, as is the case with most of the Company’s volume discount programs, as well as sales with incentives associated with accounts receivable sold to its U.S. and Canadian retail finance joint ventures, are recorded within “Accrued expenses” within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	Accounts and notes receivable are shown net of allowances for sales incentive discounts available to dealers and for doubtful accounts. Cash flows related to the collection of receivables are reported within “Cash flows from operating activities” within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Accounts and notes receivable allowances at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows (in millions):
		2013		2012
	Sales incentive discounts	$	30.4	$	21.5
	Doubtful accounts	34.9		38.1
		$	65.3	$	59.6
	The Company transfers certain accounts receivable under its accounts receivable sales agreements with its retail finance joint ventures (Note 3). The Company records such transfers as sales of accounts receivable when it is considered to have surrendered control of such receivables under the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-16, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets.” Cash payments are made to the Company’s U.S. and Canadian retail finance joint ventures for sales incentive discounts provided to dealers related to outstanding accounts receivables sold. The balances of such sales discount reserves that are recorded within “Accrued expenses” as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $206.2 million and $143.7 million, respectively.
Inventories	'
	Inventories
	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. Market is current replacement cost (by purchase or by reproduction, dependent on the type of inventory). In cases where market exceeds net realizable value (i.e., estimated selling price less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal), inventories are stated at net realizable value. Market is not considered to be less than net realizable value reduced by an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had recorded $119.9 million and $99.2 million, respectively, as an adjustment for surplus and obsolete inventories. These adjustments are reflected within “Inventories, net” within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Property, Plant and Equipment	'
	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment, and 3 to 10 years for furniture and fixtures. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets	'
	Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets
	ASC 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other,” establishes a method of testing goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company’s annual qualitative or quantitative assessments involve determining an estimate of the fair value of the Company’s reporting units in order to evaluate whether an impairment of the current carrying amount of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets exists. A qualitative assessment evaluates whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The first step of a quantitative goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired, and, thus, the second step of the quantitative impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. Fair values are derived based on an evaluation of past and expected future performance of the Company’s reporting units. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, for example, 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 the Company’s executive management team regularly reviews the operating results of that component. In addition, the Company combines and aggregates two or more components of an operating segment as a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics. The Company’s reportable segments are not its reporting units.
	The second step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test, used to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any, compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination; that is, the Company allocates the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. The Company utilizes a combination of valuation techniques, including a discounted cash flow approach and a market multiple approach, when making quantitative goodwill assessments.
	The Company reviews its long-lived assets, which include intangible assets subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by the asset to be held and used are not sufficient to recover the unamortized balance of the asset. An impairment loss would be recognized based on the difference between the carrying values and estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is determined based on either the discounted future cash flows or other appropriate fair value methods with the amount of any such deficiency charged to income in the current year. If the asset being tested for recoverability was acquired in a business combination, intangible assets resulting from the acquisition that are related to the asset are included in the assessment. Estimates of future cash flows are based on many factors, including current operating results, expected market trends and competitive influences. The Company also evaluates the amortization periods assigned to its intangible assets to determine whether events or changes in circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. Assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell.
Amortization of certain Intangible Assets	'
	The Company amortizes certain acquired identifiable intangible assets primarily on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 50 years.
Warranty Reserves	'
	The Company’s agricultural equipment products are generally under warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one to four years. The Company accrues for future warranty costs at the time of sale based on historical warranty experience. Approximately $39.0 million and $33.0 million of warranty reserves are included in “Other noncurrent liabilities” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Insurance Reserves	'
	Insurance Reserves
	Under the Company’s insurance programs, coverage is obtained for significant liability limits as well as those risks required to be insured by law or contract. It is the policy of the Company to self-insure a portion of certain expected losses related primarily to workers’ compensation and comprehensive general, product and vehicle liability. Provisions for losses expected under these programs are recorded based on the Company’s estimates of the aggregate liabilities for the claims incurred.
Research and Development Expenses	'
	Research and Development Expenses
	Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred and are included in engineering expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Advertising Costs	'
	Advertising Costs
	The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Cooperative advertising costs are normally expensed at the time the revenue is earned. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 totaled approximately $60.5 million, $60.2 million and $50.1 million, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Expenses	'
	Shipping and Handling Expenses
	All shipping and handling fees charged to customers are included as a component of net sales. Shipping and handling costs are included as a part of cost of goods sold, with the exception of certain handling costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the amount of $29.3 million, $31.0 million and $29.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Net Income Per Common Share	'
	Net Income Per Common Share
	Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income per common share assumes the exercise of outstanding stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights (“SSARs”), the vesting of restricted stock and performance share awards, 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.
	The Company’s $201.2 million aggregate principal amount of 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes provided for the settlement upon conversion in cash up to the principal amount of the converted notes with any excess conversion value settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. Dilution of weighted shares outstanding depends on the Company’s stock price for the excess conversion value using the treasury stock method (Note 6).
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	'
	Comprehensive Income (Loss)
	The Company reports comprehensive income (loss), defined as the total of net income (loss) and all other non-owner changes in equity and the components thereof in its Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Financial Instruments	'
	Financial Instruments
	The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets for “Cash and cash equivalents,” “Accounts and notes receivable” and “Accounts payable” approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of long-term debt under the Company’s 41/2% senior term loan and credit facility (Note 6) approximate fair value based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities. At December 31, 2013, the estimated fair values of the Company’s 57/8% senior notes and 11/4% convertible notes (Note 6), based on their listed market values, were $322.1 million and $290.5 million, respectively, compared to their carrying values of $300.0 million and $201.2 million, respectively. At December 31, 2012, the estimated fair values of the Company’s 57/8% senior notes and 11/4% convertible notes (Note 6), 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.
Financial Instruments	'
	The Company uses foreign currency contracts to hedge the foreign currency exposure of certain receivables and payables. The contracts are for periods consistent with the exposure being hedged and generally have maturities of one year or less. These contracts are classified as non-designated derivative instruments. The Company also enters into foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges of expected sales. The Company’s foreign currency contracts mitigate risk due to exchange rate fluctuations because gains and losses on these contracts generally offset losses and gains on the exposure being hedged.
	The notional amounts of the foreign currency contracts do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, therefore, are not a measure of the Company’s risk. The amounts exchanged are calculated on the basis of the notional amounts and other terms of the contracts. The credit and market risks under these contracts are not considered to be significant. The Company’s hedging policy prohibits it from entering into any foreign currency contracts for speculative trading purposes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 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 FASB issued ASU 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 ASU 2013-02 as of January 1, 2013 by presenting the required amounts in its footnote disclosures (Note 8).
	In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU 2012-02”). ASU 2012-02 permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If an entity concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of such an asset exceeds its carrying amount, it need not calculate the fair value of the asset in that year. This standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
	In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU 2011-08”). ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it need not perform the two-step impairment test. This standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
	In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 increases the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements. ASU 2011-05 does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The standard initially required that reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income be measured and presented by income statement line item on the face of the statement of operations. In December 2011, however, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05” (“ASU 2011-12”). ASU 2011-12 defers the requirement to present components of reclassifications of other comprehensive income on the face of the statement of operations. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 and 2011-12 by consecutively presenting the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
