Kramer 306/356 jcb536 60

[Riggy]

Has anyone any experience on the new Kramer tele handlers good or bad. Local dealer pushing them now that John Deere have got involved. Not many around this local area yet. I've a manitou 627 with 4000 hours on it currently but I seem to be laid under it as much as I'm driving it. One thing after another at the moment. What are people's opinions on the jcb also

New jcb here. Awesome machine so the Kramer would have to be a lot cheaper to get a look in.

From what I Iearnt recently talking to a Kramer Dealer, their prices are very strong for new, so maybe stick with the market leader JCB with a good 3 -5 yr warranty for peace of mind, always demand for them secondhand around the world regardless of condition.

When your JCB is long retired the Kramer will still be going strong , probably with over 20,000 hrs on it.

Are JCB the market leader in Europe or just the uk.

Throughout the world generally - especially in the Middle East - may struggle in France, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany but other than those countries it is the only machine that customers want in far away places

Probably so if they have managed to continue with the OLD DNA from 30 yrs ago, but I am not so sure with changes to the company stratergy over the last 10 yrs - unfortunately you have to "buy"market share to prove that your a "cut above the rest" in terms of quality / reliability/ and residual value which I can not see them doing any time soon, IMO

Was the Claas Scorpion not based around a Kramer? Think some of the Claas clocks say Kramer on them??
