What Brand


I just made a trip from CT up to the Vermont Canada border and I always notice that as you travel you see one brand of machinery dominant in an area and then it changes.

What brands are dominant where you are and where are you.

Our area NW CT seems be going Volvo for excavators and wheel loaders. Always has been John Deere dozers and backhoes. Bobcat skidsteers.

I don't want this forum to go quiet.

Think this forum will get billing on the top forum tab?

Nick
