Who builds JD Compact Tractors?

Who currently builds the JD 2000 and 3000 series compact tractors?
Yanmar is currently building their own tractor for the US market; so who builds JD's compact tractors?

I would expect Asian workers do, just like all of the others. :2cents:

They are made overseas as far as I am aware.

So racist of you. Shame on you.

perhaps you can explain what is racist in my statement. What would you call a worker born in an asian country?

The 2x20 are still build buy Yanmar. The 3x20 are built but JD, but have Yanmar engines.

I thought that they were built in India, but I also heard that they were built in Georgia. Anyone have some incite on this?

I may have to retract my earlier information. I had been told that only the large commercial equipment was still made in the US, but web research still indicates the 3000 and 4000 series are still built in Georgia. The 5000 series is made in India according to what I can find. Much of the Yanmar components are made in Brazil.

So only the 5000 series are made by Asian workers and the Yanmar are made by South American workers, but the 3000 and 4000 are made by American workers.

Only some of the larger series.

I thought Edward S. was being inciteful.:laughing:

It is my impression that the 2000 series is built in Japan, the 3000 and 4000 are built in the US and the 5000 is built in India.

I would prefer to see more US jobs or more even trading practices between the US and other countries. Realistically I find it hard for a person making $15/hr to pay someone else in a different state about $75/hr to build them anything. Manufacturers see this as an issue and ship the jobs overseas to build the equipment, we need some retraction in building costs here at home to deal with the problem.

I am about to buy a 2520, and I have not been able to find a manufactures plate identifying were it was built. John Deere does not seem to be very forthcoming with this information.
