JD Bison ?

Of what useful purpose ? :beatsme

A test bed for ideas ? :beatsme

Yep. I just have not heard anything about it for awhile. I was seeing if there was anything new.

You know what the funny thing is... the photo with the Bison side-view is no longer there.

 

[Northart]

Bison Photo ?

Well the photo was on a Photographers web site , so maybe he sold the photo, rights and all ??

Must of been of some interest to somebody .

Of particular interest is the cooling system, how is the radiator positioned ? From viewing the engine screens, looks like a cross flow.

I've read all the conversations posted previously, and most everyone has the same, ? , What's it's true purpose ? :beatsme

To me it's a test bed to explore concepts, letting other's find a purpose for it in the marketplace .

Does anyone still make rubber tired dozers? only ones I have seen around here were on big dirt jobs where there were a ton of belly dumps.

98 percent of the photos from the Deere facility are gone.

Come to think of it, funny how that happened...

I remember someone specific complaining about a 14M prototype photo that I had posted...but that's another story. But it sure looks to have happened again.

I was going to make the conspiracy theory that Deere asked the photographer to have them removed... looks like I was right.

 

[ConstSite]

I wasn't going there.

Bison at Conexpo

Very strong indications the Bison will be unveiled at Conexpo/Con-Agg next month. Don't know if that's what it will be called, but you might see it in Vegas.

i live in dubuque were the bison is made and a friend of mine does the testing and gave me a ride and showed me the prototypes. i would like to see a three point on the back. but the ag side of deere thinks that is a bad move. might cut into their sales. i seen it plowing snow it was cool to wacth, thing moves out

 

[DLMKA]

Do you know anything about it? I'm assuming hydrostatic drive. What kind of power rating?
