EXHIBIT 99.3

               UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information is
based on the historical financial statements of AGCO Corporation ("AGCO") and
the Challenger Product Line (a product line of Caterpillar Inc.) ("Challenger")
adjusted to give effect to the acquisition by AGCO of the design, assembly and
marketing of the new MT Series of Challenger tractors. Under the terms of the
Challenger acquisition, AGCO acquired the technology and manufacturing assets
required to produce and market the new MT series of Challenger brand tractors
that first will be sold to customers beginning in mid-2002. AGCO did not acquire
any rights or assume any obligations relating to the prior series of the
Challenger brand tractors which were produced by Caterpillar. However, the
historical financial statements of the prior Challenger tractor series are used
as a basis for the following pro forma combined financial information. In
addition, the historical financial statements of Challenger include intercompany
purchases of components and allocations of expenses from Caterpillar Inc. The
intercompany prices and allocations may not be indicative of the costs and
expenses that would have resulted if the Challenger business were operated as a
separate entity. The following unaudited pro forma combined financial
information also includes the historical financial statements of Ag-Chem
Equipment Co. Inc. ("Ag-Chem") prior to AGCO's acquisition of Ag-Chem on
April 16, 2001.

         The pro forma combined financial statements were prepared to illustrate
the estimated effects of the Challenger and Ag-Chem acquisitions, including
acquisition-related debt and equity transactions and other assumptions. The pro
forma combined statements of operations data for the year ended December 31,
2001 give effect to the acquisitions, as if the acquisitions had occurred as of
January 1, 2001. The pro forma combined balance sheet data give effect to the
Challenger acquisition as if it had occurred as of December 31, 2001 and has
been computed by combining AGCO's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,
2001 and Challenger's balance sheet as of December 31, 2001. The pro forma
adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. The pro forma adjustments
are based upon available information and assumptions that AGCO's management
believes are reasonable. The pro forma financial statements do not purport to
represent AGCO's results of operations or financial position for any future
period or as of any date. The pro forma financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of AGCO and
the notes thereto and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" contained in AGCO's Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2001 and the historical financial statements of Challenger
filed as Exhibit 99.2 to AGCO's Form 8-K/A filed on April   , 2002.

         The Challenger acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. Under purchase accounting, the total purchase cost will be
allocated to the tangible and intangible Challenger assets acquired by AGCO
based upon their respective fair values as of the closing of the acquisition
based on valuations and other studies, which are not yet available. A
preliminary allocation of the purchase cost has been made to major categories of
assets in the accompanying pro forma consolidated financial information based on
estimates. The actual allocation of purchase cost and the resulting effect on
income from operations may differ materially from the pro forma amounts included
herein. As explained in Note 3 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance
Sheet, AGCO has assumed that the current recorded book values of Challenger's
property, plant and equipment will be written down by the excess of fair value
of the net assets acquired over the purchase cost in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 16. Once AGCO has access to Challenger's
detailed asset records, AGCO will make an allocation of the purchase price to
these assets based on thorough valuations that may change the amount of
currently recorded book values of Challenger's assets acquired by AGCO. In
addition, AGCO will review the estimated remaining lives of the assets, which
may affect the resulting depreciation and amortization relating to these assets,
and accordingly, may affect net earnings and the pro forma results of operations
included herein.

         NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

(1)   Represents the unaudited statement of operations for Ag-Chem for the
      period from January 1, 2001 to April 16, 2001.
(2)   Represents the audited statement of operations of Challenger for 2001.
(3)   To reflect the increase in depreciation expense for the period from
      January 1, 2001 to April 16, 2001 from adjusting the historical book
      value of Ag-Chem's property, plant and equipment to estimated fair
      market value.
(4)   To reflect the decrease in depreciation expense from adjusting the
      historical book value of the Challenger's property, plant and equipment
      to its estimated new accounting basis. (See Note 3 to the Unaudited Pro
      Forma Combined Balance Sheet).
(5)   To reflect an increase in amortization of intangible assets for the
      period from January 1, 2001 to April 16, 2001 from the preliminary
      purchase price allocation of the net assets of Ag-Chem using
      amortization periods ranging from five to forty years.
(6)   To reflect the increase in interest expense for the period from
      January 1, 2001 to April 16, 2001 for borrowings incurred to fund the
      cash portion of the Ag-Chem acquisition consideration of $147.5 million
      assuming an interest rate of 4.7%. The actual interest rate related to
      such debt may differ from 4.7% resulting from changes in LIBOR and
      changes in AGCO's debt agreements. Accordingly, for every 0.125%
      variance in the interest rate, interest expense related to this
      adjustment would increase by $0.1 million.
(7)   To reflect the increase in interest expense for borrowings incurred to
      fund the initial purchase of production inventory from Caterpillar in
      the amount of $13.0 million assuming an interest rate of 4.7%. The
      actual interest rate related to such debt may differ from 4.7%.
      Accordingly, for every 0.125% variance in the interest rate, interest
      expense related to this adjustment would change less than $0.1 million.

      The actual interest rate related to such debt may vary from 4.7%.
      Accordingly, for every 0.125% change in interest rate, interest expense

               NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED BALANCE SHEET

(1)  Represents the audited balance sheet of Challenger as of December 31,
     2001. Certain accounts have been reclassified to conform with AGCO's
     presentation.

(2)  To eliminate Challenger's accounts receivable, deferred taxes, accounts
     and intercompany payables, accrued expenses, intercompany debt and
     postretirement benefit liabilities that were not acquired or assumed in
     the Challenger acquisition.

(3)  To adjust the Challenger inventory balance to equal the amount of
     initial production inventory purchased from Caterpillar of $13.0
     million.

(4)  To adjust the accounting basis for the Challenger property, plant and
     equipment by the excess of fair value over the purchase cost of assets
     acquired in the Challenger acquisition in accordance with APB No. 16.

(5)  To reflect an increase in outstanding borrowings to fund the initial
     purchase of production inventory from Caterpillar of $13.0 million.

(6)  To reflect the elimination of Challenger's historical net parent
     investment.

(7)  To reflect the issuance of 1.0 million shares issued in connection with
     Challenger acquisition at the market price on the closing date of
     $20.85.

(8)  Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the value to Caterpillar
     of the AGCO common shares issued in the acquisition is protected for a
     period of ninety days after the initial effectiveness of the registration
     statement registering the resale of the shares by Caterpillar.  If
     Caterpillar sells the common shares within the ninety day period,
     Caterpillar agrees to pay AGCO any excess of the sales proceeds over
     $20.58 per share and AGCO agrees to pay Caterpillar any shortfall of the
     sales proceeds under $18.62 per share. To the extent any shares remain
     unsold after the ninety day period, Caterpillar is required to pay AGCO
     the value of the remaining unsold shares in excess of $20.58 based on a
     five day average of the closing price of AGCO's common stock. The
     following table reflects the cash to be paid or received by AGCO assuming
     all 1.0 million shares issued in the acquisition are sold at one of the
     following range of common stock prices:

                                     $21.00                                       $0.4

         These amounts have not been reflected in the Pro Forma Combined Balance
         Sheet. In addition, the impact of these amounts to interest expense has
         not been reflected in the Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations.
         Assuming the range of common stock prices in the table above, the
         impact to interest expense would be less than $0.1 million.
