I think deere is working on that perspective that they are just a paint and decal company. And I don't know but for some reason I have a feeling that there is something going on with them and Hitachi. Don't know what but something.
I know its a lot to say but If I was deere this is what I would do.
*Drop hitachi- Why? They have too many ppl linked to their machines. Too many pups trying to suck off the excavator ***.(alot to do with parts also)or possibly have controlling interest in construction equipment division
*Buy BELL-Why? 3/4 to 7/8 of their product line is deere rebadged. Should be a great buy now with the way things are. Plus it would be a great time to get into that region. IT has alot of potential. Markets are somewhat growing.Plus bring their parts inventory up.
*Liebherr-What?- keep growing with them. Seem to be a very stable and reliable company. Great products. Maybe a way for deere to get in to the mining if they choose( I know hitachi is too) Thats in the air
*Letourneau- OOPPPSSS, well, you will have to find out yourself on that one..
* On a side note, I think yanmar and deere have more then just engines going on(sum n fishy with the mini's) ( I know hitachi makes them, but)
*Needs to have a 90 to 100hp motor grader. like a champion or basic for the small guys and paving companies.
I know this is getting off subject but what do ya'll think? Any other advise or comments??
