I read that too, HHM. It's going to be interesting. Make no mistake CNH is being shopped. Daimler was reported to be interested a few months ago. Fiat needs cash for their increased investment in Chrysler. The ag markets are hot right now and that makes CNH worth more. The breakup of Fiat...

Diesel Progress magazine posted this news release this morning: Diesel Progress Online | Industry News Detail I didn't see this one coming.

I was at the GIE / Expo show in Louisville last week and saw that Deere has two, new skid steer loaders. They are radial boom designs and not the vertical lift style. I found it interesting that Deere is building two, entry-level machines at the smaller end of the skid steer market. I...

Yesterday, I had a chance to take a look at the new 4x20-series tractors for the first time. In short, I was impressed. Let me share a few impressions: Simplification of controls - Deere appears to have banished the confusing, side-mounted eMatch OS (Electronic Operating System) from the...
