Krone ?

[holywell farmer]

would they ever copy claas and manufacture tractors ?

 

[Zippy768]

Believe Claas bought out Renault so already had a platform for tractors. Krone are very big in lorry trailers and bulkers so are probably spread thin enough not to bother with tractors

 

[Wellytrack]

Why would they want too? Hardly what the market needs is another brand to get the $hit kicked out of them by JD CNH and AGCO.

I would have thought it's more likely for someone else to buy krone to compliment there current line up like agco and lely

No point agco buying krone as trying to push fendt chopper

 

[hobbsy]

John Deere...?

There is more to the world than ag machinery. @holywell farmer Have a google at the sheer scale, scope and range of South Korea’s manufacturing.

In particular the big two.

Ok,,,

Ok,,,

It’ll give you a whole new take on what ‘full line’ really means. Sure grass tedders and balers to match your tractor is one thing, but the likes of Samsung is quite another.

Who knows, maybe one day they or a Chinese company will buy up a well known European company.

John Deere won't buy krone

What like Geely buying Volvo?

Krone will continue to do what they currently do and strive to be the best at it in all areas. They will not be bought by John Deere. If John Deere buy anyone it is more likely Kuhn IMO...

The Germans haves joked about a Krone tractor but I would say a combine would compliment their product range a bit better?

That's surprising that krone haven't built a combine yet

 

[powerfarmer]

I think Krone did build a few tractor style machines as bases for self propelled tillage kit when they were involved in making rotovators and that kind of stuff back in the 70's but the idea was dropped

 

[Pheasant Surprise]

Krone is still family owned, as is Claas. Better than being debt sluts like AGCO and having to answer to the ‘street every quarter.

If they built a half decent reliable tractor, do you think all the people who had JD,CNH and AGCO would give them a chance?

Don't think there are any Zetor dealers here.

Yes if it's a good product
