Does any brand name make its own tractors? It seems from the posts of knowledgeable people on this and other threads that they all buy and sell big or small parts, including whole tractors, to other companies to put on their own stickers. I have even seen an orange NH - new, so not somebody being a smart****. Maybe there is only one financially controlled operation that covers every tractor. The world's governments seem to work that way - and please, please nobody bring politics into this thread otherwise it will be obliterated, and rightly so. I am merely using it as an example, and relating it to tractor ownership, which is what this site is all about.
An analysis of government debts and lending shows that every government in the world owes money to most other governments, but at the same time also lends money to the same people. It seems the same applies to tractor makers. If that is so, is there really any difference between the makes? The most important thing, from the viewpoint of this thread, is how can any of us give any advice to the OP if they are all made by the same companies, just thrown (and I use the word advisedly) together in different places? Or are there still plants that put together the best of everything to create something superior?
