Subject: RE: What has been discontinued?


All Deere telehandlers are finished, which is a mistake in my books. Bad marketing by Deere, not trying to get into Industrial uses. They couldn't sell enough just to AG customers, thus decided the telehandlers were not profitable enough. No one else (CAT, JCB, Manitou, NH, etc) sell ONLY to AG customers...

Bucks are done too, same problem, not enough sales to be worth it (plus Bombardier changed their models to more recreational vehicles).

Sidehill combines are not built by Deere, haven't been for some time. You have to get a shortline manufacturer to convert the machine for you. I believe they may still build them in Europe, though. All Deere offers is a SideHill kit for STS machines, which is just some longer dividers, etc. Nothing to do with axles.
