Maybe claas is pushing them into marketing the machine hard since their last attempt with massey was such a flop.

Only one question comes to mind when reading this reply.........Does this mean that cat will start up some new or should I say more dealerships per stateIJ The ratio of dealers to farmers as far as deere and caseih are concerned outweigh cat by far!!! Just a thought......

I had a harvest bus. for 20 years. Theya re going broke as fast as alot of farmers. The only ones staying in bus. are the ones who have been going for 25+ years. I can't see how it is possible to haul the largest Cat combine. It would require a special trailer (no harvester wants to spend that kind of $$) and permits to move it around. (Again $$$). On top of that, harvesters for the most part hire kids to run the mach. and they would rather teach a kid to run a Deere_CIH that for the most part runs around 4-5mph top speed in the field. It takes a very good, experienced operator to run at higher speeds and do a good job. I think Cat is after the BIG grower who has alot of acers to cover and wants to do it with one mach. CM
