With the Deere X9 and Fendt Ideal combines out there, what does Gleaner (or CaseIH) have to offer that is competitive?
Just curious.
Thanks!
The red guys would have a yellow one if they were interested in the capacity of a twin rotor but a single rotor CVT drive with very few moving parts and low maintenance usually has the best all round return. How much of the increase in production will Deere value into a price...? Will there be any chance to increase net profit with an x9 or will it just amount to a larger equipment payment to John Deere? The logistics of using a 50 foot head only work in so many regions. What is the cost per acre when true equipment depreciation is taken into account?
As far as vs. fendt CNH offers a well developed dealer network compared to what fendt has. Which is likely to improve but if it doesn't it will be the hold back on getting ANY market share. Also how much is an ideal combine going to be worth when it is 5 years old. Predictable used value is very important in the combine purchasing decision. Deere has never been afraid to kill potential equipment deals by adding money to a deal to get a customer to switch colors. |
