ROS are the best in my eyes along with Schuco also.. It would be a shame to see ROS folding.. They have produced some nice Fiats & NHs in the last few years.

Tractorman810 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 it wouldn't surprise me given ros are an itallian company, we were very surprised to see how poor and dirty Italy looked during our recent holiday there, you can certainly tell they are struggling as a country money wise, it certainly never has before on other visits .

Toyfarmer1 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 You are right Paul. People easily tend to spread rumours without knowing anything of the background. @ Gary. I bet that the seller you spoke to actually never bought at ROS directly. ROS as a Manufacturing company were until recently using a Company called A.We.Co. as their distributor to most of the trade for Western Europe. Contacts with and sales to the OEM where done directly by ROS. As in many other industries the middleman's, who's role is shifting sold boxes, are cut out and supply continues thru outlet's who can afford to place larger orders at a time directly at the manufacturer who produces in function of (confirmed) demand (MTO). And who are willing/able to take some risk with their stocks instead of ordering a few pieces and await the demand (or order if the item has been sold already to a collector thru a webshop). This we will see coming with other brands as well. So sofar nothing wrong with ROS as a manufacturer. Of course this might lead to changes in availability of these brands at certain resellers whereas others might see new opportunities. Smaller resellers might need to rethink their approach and work together with similar sellers in other area's/countires to group demand in order to remain attracktive as a business partner for the Manufacturer. Standard practice in many industries.The alternative for the reselers is to drop the product line Actually a brand new Gregoire & Besson 14 furrow plow is going to be launched in the coming weeks together with the Pottinger drill so don't say ROS doesn't bring out anything new.

F8N Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Personal favourites of mine are the joskin & pichon tankerss,also their dangreville grain trailer got a great review in a not so long ago model farmer mag,suggesting it was still the best on the market.. Im also fond of the nh t7 270 blue power. Imber were great tractors too,supposadly british but owned by s..i hope it is only a rumour but I doubt very much the seller was making things up.kets hope they can pull through.

chris.watson Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I think toyfarmers comments are spot on. Ros don't tend to flood the market with loads of stuff, but what they do release is excellent, with new models being very well produced, as said, they have some new models out now, or very soon. What you have to remember Gary is that the sellers often have to wait for stock. We have all got models in dealer boxes, and that is what happens......dealers for that machine will sell a licensed product first. Most sellers are sourcing models in larger numbers from ag dealers to get hold of stock, and this takes a little bit of time. There are a lot of sellers out there now for a hobby that is fairly static in numbers of people actually buying, if anything you may see a seller or two fold before the model company's go down.

F8N Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 well its good to know that its only a rumour then...i guess we can draw a line under it now and cease any further rumours...as this topic is already showing signs of chinese whispers. i for one would be dissapointed if there was any truth in it.

Niels Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Both models do look fantastic! But it will be the T4-40 for me and not the Terra Variant. Hopefully the build quality of the T4 will have improved as the the T3 was appalling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
