McCormick combine?

[JoeinTX]

I have read some of you mentioning the Laverda combines being rebadged and sold through McCormick dealers in the UK. Neither the McCormick nor the Landini (although it's in Italian-maybe it's there and I don't see it?) sites have any info on these machines. Do any of you have any other info or pictures of them? I wonder if they might bring them- with Perkins engines- over to North America?

hello JoeinTX have a look at the Laverda website:

Joein,

They might not be laverda, its just that I saw one at a mccormick launch and it looked distinctively like my uncle laverda machine.

I only looked at it for couple of mins - so i may well have been wrong.

Yeah, of course, they are Laverda combines under Mc Cormick colours. Just a better way of selling these Italian machines in the UK. Not sure about whether they are going to be sold in other countries.

I saw one picture some months ago in a Profi International issue

Hi Joe,

Here is another Laverda link.

Be interesting to see if they will be sold in the states.
I think the new models will be Perkins(Cat) powered.
There was a photo on this site a few months back, check the archives, it may still be there.

I'm sorry......I guess what I meant was were there any pics of this machine in McCormick colors. I hear of this alleged machine.....but I never find any info on it

Joe,
There was a picture of the McCormick in the November issue of Profi.

The official showing was at last months Cereals.
