archbarch Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 In 1991 i visited the New Holland factory in Belgium they were producing 25 combines a week 65% were destined for France i would like to know what the figures are now all the farming press publish new tractor registrations but nothings mentioned about combines i would say New Holland must hold the biggest share in this country followed closely by Claas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 In the UK claas hold the market by a 60% share in this country i've been told by MF and claas dealers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 i guess combines are like cars or tractors they have there good runs then slip out of favor as other companys catch up and go past them in development, then vice versa, ,but yes theres a lot of older class down this way,over other makes it has to be said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Don't see too many Claas combines here I can only think of two or three just now but perhaps I'll see more this year...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Id say around at home is 35% Claas, 35% New Holland 15% John Deere, 10% Deutz and the remainder are 5% remainder = mainly Forschitt, Laverda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
