Global Business ?
Looks like the Saudis are absent from the large construction equipment business. And the Russians . Considering their wealth of Oil and Gas.

CAT is a bit of a given. Your surprised at the position of Kubota and Takeuchi, you have to take in to account that they maybe big in their areas they target being mini/midi size diggers/track loaders but in the bigger picture they're not really big players at all compaired to all the companies in the top ten

I haven't seen anything. Chances are, it's compiled round the first quarter when companies are reporting annual revs from the previous year.

Wow, very interesting list there. I was wondering where Kato Works would be, then saw it at 50, haha, suppose they just made it.

You used the word "makers" in your initial post. Did you mean to use the word "seller"? For example - I don't think John Deere is that big in actual manufacturing, are they - they are pretty much a paint and decal store now, are they not?

Their best sellers with the exception of their excavators are all "homebuilt". And in the case of Bell they use Bell's trucks but check out Bell's website it's mostly rebadged Deere. I personally think to form "marriages" with other mfg's to round out your product line is great as long as it doesn't water down your own product. Look at the Terex group. It's a big group of small companies. In those rankings the equipment they mfg for Bell or Leihberr is it included in the Deere or Bell/Leihberr total?

I also wondered about that, but it is true that so many companies are 'married' as you so nicely put it. Though I'll take a guess and say that Bell's sales of, say graders, is put under as Deere grader sales as well as Bell's grader sales. I would say that the same works for the Bell ADTs that are rebadged as John Deeres or Hitachis, if that makes sense? As for Bell's product line, most of it's sales come in the form of homebuilt backhoes, tractors, ADTs and tri-wheelers, as well as scraper tractors, or as we call them, haulers. The products that are not their own would be the excavators (Kato Works), wheel loaders, graders and bulldozers (Rebadged John Deere), whilst the TLB uses mostly JD components, but the side shift frame is built in S.A. Also, the forestry products are mainly John Deere. The miniature loaders, the three smallest in the Bell line-up are Liebherr.

I thought Deere built backhoes for Bell but now I found it different. Same design it's just that Bell builds there's in South Afica.

The backhoe, engine, loader, cab, hyadraulics, everything come from JD cept the sideshift frame, so ja, you are pretty much on the money with that.
If at first you don't succeed, lubricate or make bigger! If you don't have a 'plan B', plan 'A' is bound to fail
