John Deere Construction Tractor Reveal?!

[aczlan]

My Guess; 210 series FWD backhoe loader. Obviously the stabilizers are down.
Loader bucket is raised and fully dumped. Must have two dump cylinders. Hoe outline can be seen swung to the right side of machine, as well as the hoe bucket. Yellow bottom rails are part of display stand. There is a frame holding the top edge of the tarp square.
I could be wrong....

If it has a hoe on the back,it must have the ability to swing more than 180 degrees, because the lower portion of the back sticks out more than the upper portion does.

Chatterbox..... really?

Stabs were a tease

Chatterbox..... really?

Yeah, C'mon...:confused2::mur:

 

[Red Horse]

Well they got everyone's attention!

 

[Scooby074]

A 988 class loader and a new Artic... wow... Deere was a bit of a letdown

 

[Jaylegger]

What a bunch of crap. It's the job of marketing to convince potential customers they're getting something they're not and in this situation they succeeded gloriously. Man I hate foolishness like that.

 

[JDOneDay]

I'm starting to get a little concerned about JD and especially their marketing. You had the whole introduction/production fiasco with the 1026R and now this. Someone is not doing their job correctly in my opinion.

What???? What was it?
I got called away for a few minutes and now it says, "check back soon to see the reveal as it happened" ?????

Huh????

I thought you guys were talking to another member NAMED chatterbox.

Its a "speakers corner" type booth where, "people" can go and say their piece regarding what they want in machinery. Then Deere can take that information and completely ignore it

Whoa... that was impressive! Really, I think I coulda got about as much of an adrenelin rush from that as I would have with a couple of Prozac...

So, I almost got it right. Did Deere resolve any of my design flaw observations that I have pointed out to them over the years? Probably not. Their skid-loaders have holes in the frames that could allow sticks to puncture the fuel and hydraulic tanks. I bet the SSLs being built at this very moment have the very same holes that I am talking about. And the list could go on forever...

Thats all fine and good......

But now they have a fancy BOOTH to point out those flaws in

A booth with outriggers so that even if the floor isnt level, the booth can be :thumbsup::laughing::thumbsup:.

lol

I bet they dont even work. They were just props to throw everyone off the scent.... After that reveal , the scent in question, how should i put it... is "unpleasant"

Deere was far from groundbreaking, look at Cat, they launched the Cat highway trucks + engines and trans. Now that was a worthy reveal (even with the navistar tie in)

 

[The Tractor Guy 22]

Wow... disappointing

 

[mdelmarcelle]

Wouldn't it be a lot easier just to have an online survey tool to collect feedback instead of having people go in a confession booth. If I ever have the opportunity to go in the booth, I'm just gonna comment on the booth itself.
