Guest XYLON524 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Any chance of a Terex to be made what does everyone else think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 We had a convo on this somewhere else I believe, Redrock, Matrbro & Kramer came out on top I think. Terex is more associated with building. Would rather have a farm based handler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 i know of quite a few terex farm ones down this way,although i ain't sure if the origonal markets for them were building sites,as i can remember seeing more of them there a few years back than other current makes,prehaps these are just cheap second hand ones farmers have bought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XYLON524 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Could well be but they are nice looking machines i see liebherr have just released a agricultural handler looks a beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I bought up some very nice TEREX NZG vehicles the other day, going to pick them up next week, will post as soon as I get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Never seen one on a farm near here, always on building sites or road construction. So a Terex wouldn't appeal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Wasn't it terex who took over matbro?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I think it was Jase, never got soiled back in around here with farmers/contractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 They are better know for their dumpers and quarry machines really, the pivot steer never really made an impact bar one I know of near Malmesbury. Never seen a rigid chassis one ever. A little Kramer or Weidmann artic steer cabless loader like piggerys and chicken farms have would be nice.

civilpek Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 didnt terex buy out the massey ferguson digger line up? the masseys were mainly a farmers digger and many of the aspects of the early terex backhoe loaders were very similar to the mfs. where i stayed in college i was living right next door to a terex backhoe dealer (former mf backhoe dealer) and he was shifting about an avaerage of one a week from what ive seen. there was always about 7-8 new ones in the yard at any time. in my opinion i think they were aimed at farmers but there are quite a few on building sites now too. a far nicer and stronger machine then the ol jcb sitemasters which are a soft piece of work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fermec bought MF industrial but kept that name on the side to begin with before changing to the Fermec name, I believe that Terex then bought Fermec. I know that It was Fermec in the mid 90's when my late father sold the diggers, very good ones they were too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XYLON524 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Here a picture of a pivot steer and a rigid model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civilpek Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 ya that right the same digger was badged mf then fermec then in the early 00s as terex and kept fermec (mf) yellow for the first year or two before going the white colour in about 04 i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.Morrison Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 There is a terex beside me for agriculture, had a matbro then bought the terex! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 MF Industrial was sold to the management team to form Fermec, this was then sold to Case who in turn sold the business to Terex when CNH was formed. Matbro were sold to Powerscreen who were purchased by Terex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
