Who owns FRONTIER?

[Ledgemere Farm]

My brother gave me his latest copy of the FURROW magazine which had a bunch of advertisements for FRONTIER equipment; blades, rakes, snowblowers, etc. They are what appears to be JD green. Does JD make them or are they just marketing them?

They market the Frontier line. I think the tillers are the same as a Befco, or so I've been told (Rotomec).

Some of the rear finish mowers are Woods.

IHCrules,

JD markets the Frontier brand.

Deere & Co. own the brand name. Many different manufacturers build equipment that is badge-engineered by Deere for the Frontier line.

My Frontier RB72 was delivered with a manual published by Woods.

Thanks for all of the input. I see alot of them are I-match compatible.

I read that all Frontier Brand equipment is I-Match compatible.

They make manure spreaders too?

Yeah we have a few at the JD dealership. They are really small in size with a little green paint but they look like mostly galvanized steel. They are so light you can move them around with you bare hands and not even use a tractor unlike the big Gehl and Meyer brands out there.
