New guy here with 2cents. The Link-Belt excavator is a rebadged Case excavator with an exception under the hood. Link-belts are Isuzu driven whereas Case are still Cummins powered .

As far as New Holland goes, did they even have a big dealer network before the CNH merger? I'm sometimes surprised that CNH tried to push NH construction equipment instead of reverting to an AG brand and going all Case for construction.
CAT/ Mitsibush
Hitachi/Deere/Daewoo
Komatsu
Hyundai
Volvo / Samsung
Kobelco/New Holland
A bit late to the party, but JCB is standalone, working from their previous joint venture with Sumitomo.
Although they do source the cab from the same OEM as CAT
Worth noting...Buckets are compatible between JCB, Case, and Link-Belt.
but jcb still uses a few japanese components, correct? like motor, wiring/electronics, drive motors, etc?
