rhinelander backhoes - buy a backhoe

Major overseas suppliers for the small, compact machines include Kubota from Japan and Ingersoll-Rand, which acquired SuperStay in the Czech Republic two years ago. Ingersoll--Rand now imports the SuperStay machines (sold previously under the EarthForce America brand name) and sells the machines under its own name as well as the Bobcat brand. In 2002, 1R and Bobcat accounted for about 9 percent of the small backhoe market -- that in the first year of marketing. In 2003, Ingersoll-Rand and Bobcat will very likely start taking share away from the leaders, which will alter the makeup of the market within 12 to 18 months. Going back to the standard backhoes, it is interesting to note that Case, Deere and Caterpillar (in that order) are still the major stakeholders in North America. New Holland also has a strong market position. These four companies accounted for over 85 percent market share in 2002, down a trifle from years past. Terex became a more active player in the marketplace in 2002, jumping from a 2 percent market position in 2001 to a 5 percent participant in 2002. Terex used a very aggressive pricing scheme to gain market share during the year, which apparently worked successfully. I believe the Terex product line, which is well-engineered, is going to be better known in the future.

But mostly we collect books. Touring our area libraries, we are rewarded with a truckload worth of choices. One library has an entire shelf labeled "Transportation." Elated, we bring home Diggers and Dump Trucks; Heavy Equipment: Work Trucks; Mighty Machines; and Construction Zone, their pages wrinkled and much-mended. In his fervor, Riley puts his mark on Mighty Machines, ripping the giant blue excavator right through the bucket. I get out the tape. I''m amused to see how many of these books have been written by women, and I''m pleased that they are, as a whole, informative, fun, and much less sexist than I had imagined. Which is good, because we read them over and over. Laura despairs. But I recall that my mother had to read Captain Kitty to me until she could recite it verbatim, so why should I be spared?
