I'm all for made in USA products. I wish there was a made in the USA tractor company. One of the problems is if a company wanted to start a made in the USA tractor MFG company where would all the resources come from? What name brand diesel engine would be used that is built in the USA? What company would supply the transmissions and final drive units? What company would supply the front axles?
If someone shops the international trade sites and see how many China Business to Business trade sites you can find such suppliers that make such parts as engines, transmission, final drive assemblies and other parts for tractors. That is way you see so many tractors brands from China that all looks the same because the suppliers for such parts sell to any company that wishes to get in the tractor building business.
In short, where are the USA resources for components used to MFG tractors? Where are the USA diesel engine mfg's? Where are the USA MFG's that make transmissions for tractors? Where are the USA MFG's that make tractor final drive assemblies? Where are the USA MFG's that make frontend axles assemblies?
