Rumours

[Fred]

John Deere have purchased a major machinery manufacturer ?

Claas also have a tie up with a major machinery manufacturer ?

anyone put flesh on the bones

 

[wasted years]

I've put loads of flesh on the bones, mainly because of turkey and pud.

 

[Jim B]

No idea but if I were to ever make a wild guess I would say the most likely is John Deere and Kuhn, and, Claas and Lemken...

 

[woody 1]

Haven't Class joined up with Horsch ? or should that read Horsch joined Class !

 

[Deere 6430]

Horsch joining up with Claas

 

[Hoss]

Horsch joining up with Claas

I hope not, Horsch have been absolutely brilliant with the new drill at work. The Claas dealers on the other hand not so enthusiastic.

 

[sputnik]

Claas and Lemken seems likely

 

[DrDunc]

After recognising the emissions control and low rev torque deficiency of their short stroke engine design, Deere have purchased Lister Petter?

 

[CrevisbigX]

Thought Claas and Horsch is only through dealer network on the east side

 

[Boothy]

John Deere have bought manitou on the sly and also bidding on buying the fastrac rights from jcb the have Kuhn in the bag looking at vaderstad too I know all this because I'm a nosey neighbour

AGCO own Fella.
There may be major announcements at the forthcoming French SIMA machinery show on February 26th, if not before. It will surprise everyone but me.

You forgot to finish your post there.....

It's missing the "so ner ner ne ner ner"

 

[Cowabunga]

The Kongskilde takeover by CNH did take me by surprise. Others may well do so in future. One possible major takeover that is yet to be finalised won't. If it happens, it will be a major game changer, if only because there is massive overlap in some existing ranges, which is why most people would not suspect such a marriage being in prospect.

It might never happen of course, so I'm certainly not giving any more clues, if for no other reason than I might make a right tit of myself if it doesn't happen.

Do tell Duck, nothing lost; you're used to making a right tit of yourself on here anyway! [emoji2]
