Friday Tractor

[Majorman]

Do not know whether you come across many of these on your side of the pond. Claas took over the failing Renault tractor factory at Le Man in France, did some upgrades and stated producing a new tractor. For a time they seemed to be everywhere, over here, but now they seem to be in decline and John Deere, CNH have the majority of the market with MF falling behind a bit.

The few that I see that look something like this are Fendt.

Think all makes are starting to look the same Bob, bit like cars today.

I have seen a few showing up around here. Some are branded Claas and some have the Fendt name on them, tractors and combines. There is a Fendt dealer about 40 miles north of me, they also sell Cat ag machines too.

Thank you for putting into words what I was thinking.

Fendt is part of AGCO IE MF and Challenger.
I always thought Claas was a totally different brand.

Either way very little support for either around me.
While Kubota and MF have their place in the hobby farm sector JD is king and CIH a distant second in the farm tractor sector in my area.
