Who makes Fecon...

[WestshoreConstruction]

DD you are right, the FTX 100-L is manufactured by Rayco also in Ohio, the FTX 148-L is built by Camoplast in Canada, except for the steel track undercarriage which Fecon builds in the factory in Ohio. The FTX 440-FM is built start to finish in the Ohio factory and the FTX 350 is built by Versatrac in Canada. All of the heads are built at the lebanon factory. I would not swear to this in court but I am pretty sure I am accurate.

Thats what I saw at the Factory too, tons of heads in various stages of manufacturing.

Iron Horse... I don't think that what you said is accurate.

I just took a look at the Ahwi website and the only mulching heads that they have are PTO driven heads, no hydraulic heads. If it is Ahwi that makes the Fecon heads, then why do they not list the hydraulic heads?

It's been my understanding for the last several years that the mulching heads are the only thing that Fecon actually makes themselves. Everything else is made by other companies and Fecon brands it as their own. The Fecon website even states that their mulching heads are 'Proudly made in the United States'. While on the other hand Ahwi is a German company and their website states that their heads are 'Proudly made in Germany'. Just because the two different brands of heads are painted Red doesn't mean that they are made by the same company.

Although it does mention on the Fecon website something about a 'Ahwi patent'. So maybe Fecon does have a license to manufacture their heads using some Ahwi designs, kind of like GyroTrac has done with Cimaf.


AHWI Maschinenbau GmbH - Company profile

Just for clarification:

Fecon was established thanks to AHWI. Those days Fecon delivered fully licenced AHWI products. Today Fecon has a mixed product range. AHWI licenced products (see PTO driven mulchers and rotovators and also the HDT Rotor) and own products (hydraulic heads and the drum rotor)
