      The undersigned hereby constitutes and appoints each of Roger N. Batkin,
Lynnette D. Schoenfeld, Joseph Lewinski, and Lisa Schomaker or any of them
signing singly, and with full power of substitution, the undersigned's true and
lawful attorney-in-fact to:

(1)  prepare, execute in the undersigned's name and on the undersigned's behalf,
and submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Form ID,
including amendments thereto, and any other documents necessary or appropriate

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or any rules or
regulations promulgated thereunder;

(2)  execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's capacity
as an officer and/or director of AGCO Corporation (the "Company"), Forms 3, 4,
and 5 in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder;

(3)  do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned which
may be necessary of desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4, or 5,
complete and execute any amendment or amendments thereto, and timely file such
form with the SEC and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

(4)  take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to,
in the best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it being
understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the
undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall
contain such terms and conditions as such atorney-in-fact may approve in such
attorney-in-fact's discretion.

      The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or
could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation,
hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or such
attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers herein
granted.

      The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in
serving in such capacity at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming,
nor is the Company assuming, any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply
with Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.

      The undersigned agrees that each of the attorneys-in-fact may rely
entirely on information furnished orally or in writing by the undersigned to
such attorney-in-fact.  The undersigned also agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company and each attorney-in-fact against any losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (or actions in these respects) that arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or omission of necessary facts in the
information provided by the undersigned to an attorney-in-fact for purposes of
executing, acknowledging, delivering, or filing a Form ID or Forms 3, 4, or 5
(including amendments thereto) and agrees to reimburse the Company and each
attorney-in-fact for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, or action.

      This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company,
unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to
be executed as of this 15th day of November, 2016.


                                            /s/ Thomas Welke
