STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL
OFFICER REGARDING FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS


I, Robert J. Ratliff, state and attest that:

         (1)  To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered
         reports of AGCO Corporation, and, except as corrected or supplemented
         in a subsequent covered report:

                  -  No covered report contained an untrue statement of a
                     material fact as of the end of the period covered by such
                     report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or
                     definitive proxy materials, as of the date on which it was
                     filed); and

                  -  No covered report omitted to state a material fact
                     necessary to make the statements in the covered report, in
                     light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
                     misleading as of the end of the period covered by such
                     report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or
                     definitive proxy materials, as of the date on which it was
                     filed).

         (2)  I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's
         audit committee.

         (3)  In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on
         or before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

                  -  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
                     2001 of AGCO Corporation;

                  -  All reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
                     definitive proxy materials of AGCO Corporation filed with

                     identified above; and

                  -  Any amendments to any of the foregoing.
