hank193 said:Way back in 1989 I was a salesman for a John Deere dealership. We carried 3 lines of tractors; The 650 -1650 were Yanmars and sold very well. The 50-55 series were Mannheim,Germany built and slightly overlapped in features/horsepower both the Yanmars and the USA tractors [which went on well above 100 hp.] Our implements came from all over the world. It got interesting watching our customers check the stickers and build plates!! I tried to determine what their actual needs were first and went from there. [Had lunch with the Kubota ,IH and Ford salesmen about once a week..the stories were great at that table!]
So does that mean you just told people whatever they wanted to hear about buying and supporting american products. I wouldnt brag about that.
