Ag machine websites

[[e-mail]]

Woodbeef's post below about the independent combine manufacturers has gotten me thinking about all the different websites and manufacturers out there.

It would be interesting to get a collection of all these "not so common" websites. Stuff like combines, tractors, beet harvesters - the big equipment. I have looked at a few Russian equipment websites, and they are interesting to see.

Even the non-english websites are interesting to see. One can still understand the gist of the message - there are a lot of similar looking words to english - hydraulis, tyres - you get it. The only language I'm totally stumped on is Russian - there's too many backwards A's and I's  

So if you have some good foriegn websites, especially tractors and harvesters (planters are more/less similar anyways), share them, or email me. I'd like to know more about stuff like the DON harvesters, or the Kirovets.

The more you know, the smarter you are, I guess

Is it a good idea to make a page with all these links on the AgMachinery-site? If you think it is, help me out.

Yes,I think it would be a very good idea. JoeinTx gave me an url to a great tractor link site on angelfire,but I can never get it to work. It belongs to a Icelandic farmer,and is the best one I've found yet. But it is kinda obscure,and not always accessible.  www.prairielinks.com is one of the originals,but it is data base driven.So if you made one here,it would be great.

Just how would you list it,though? The short-line companies would not be too hard,but what about the ones that make many different things(duplication with links is killer,especially keeping them all live)? Should it be by country or region,or just left by product?

I found this site awhile back and use it quite abit. www.agmachine.com  I don't know how to link it on the screen. The angelfire site Woodbeef mentioned is great also.

The agmachine.com website has a lot of "dud" links - a lot of companies, but not too many links.

Personally, I always go to google.com or yahoo.com for links. Google seems to be better, especially for the SP beet harvesters - I got 4-5 links through them.

This is a good website for most of North America and some of Europe  -  www.lorenzomfg.com/mfgs.html  -  I think that if you were to do it in a similar style, it would be a good start. Obviously, you don't need all the stuff - IE computer software, Land levelling, but the way they set it it is good.

This is another good european website www.dalgety.co.uk/Links/machine.htm

There's lots around, but there isn't any creme de la creme.

Because there are a lot of people from both sides of the "wee little creek" here, there's lots of resources. If you manage it right, a good links site could mean a lot more business for this website

  The site that Woodbeef mentioned is angelfire.com/nd/tractors/index.html                    Yes, thank that Icelandic gent for this list.  Sorry that you've had trouble with it, Woodbeef.  I saved it to my fav's a long time ago and never seem to have any trouble pulling it up.  A few other obscures I can think of off-hand are Agrale (Brazil),  Zanello (Argentina), and Cameco in the U.S.

Try www.mascus.com it is not just Ag but also Transport,Construction,Forestry & Load Handling.

Also claas.co.uk,valtra.co.uk & merlo.co.uk all have very good secondhand pages.

If you do decide to make a list of websites possibly add this one.  www.twincreefarmllc.com  Shows some pictures of how we make hay.  I'll be taking new pictures this yr of something that some of you in the hay business might find interesting..... a machine that cuts big bales down and reties them into small square ones.
