Japan Made Tractors

[ScottieM]

Other than Yanmar and the big guys(case, jd, kub,nh,massey ect...) are there any other brands of Japan made compact tractors out there? I keep seeing a bunch of Chinese made brands. From what I have read if I was going to buy other than from the big guys I would want a Japan made tractor over a China made tractor.

Mitsubishi makes tractors for Cub Cadet, Shibaura builds utilty models for Ford, Satoh is another brand made by Mitsubishi. I recently bought a 7260 Cub Cadet (used with 300 hours) and couldn't be happier. A good source for indentifying or finding foreign tractor models is http://angelfire.com/nd/tractors/index.html Good Luck

You need to buy a larger farm tractor to get made in the USA!

There's a billboard on I-45 south of Dallas advertising the Long tractors. It says, "THE AFFORDABLE BLUE TRACTOR".[img]/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Hey Bird, anyway you can get a photo of that billboard and post it?

Scottie, I'd never even thought about that. I think it's about 45 miles from here, but I may be going up that way this weekend and if I do, I'll try to remember to take the camera.

ScottieM, sorry I didn't get up there and get a picture this past weekend; had to take a different route, but you can thank "unregistered" for the information if you want to contact the company.

Sorry Bird, I guess I was not exactly clear, I meant for you to get a pic of that Billboard and post it on the NH site as a joke. My Bad.
