You didn't say where you are in your profile, but if you are around a Rural King their tractors are assembled in the USA, Ill. and Fla. I believe.

I know, but it is not what this says. It is on the internet, so it has to be true.

And when that isn't believed some still think Kubotas are built along side Kioties in the same plant, the owners of each after all being brothers! Just from a different mother, I guess.

So are Power Tracs. Made in VA.
Howerver, the OP is looking for more AG type machine, I think, and Steiners, Ventracs and Power Tracs are not AG type machines. Very capable machines in their own right. I think the Power Tracs are more versatile than the others, but the others are better at some tasks. The PT design runs circles around a conventional tractor in tasks like loaders, mowers, brush cutting, snow plowing, forklifting, post hole digging, etc... the things they are not good at is pulling brute force, like dirt plowing, or a hay bailer I'd imagine. So things like that have to be considered.

I believe the MF Compact and Sub Compacts are finished in Georgia, ie ropes,tires,loaders and a few other bolt on items.

I will assure you my Kioti was NOT made in NC.. It was made in South Korea. The tires likely have been put on here... They are goodyear.

Nearly all compact tractors are "finished" here in the USA. A few parts "may" be even made here. But not many. Kubota has an assembly plant in Georgia, but the main parts come from Japan. Engines, transmissions. etc. It has been decades since a compact tractor was completely manufactured here in the USA>

What are you doing with it? If not pulling a plow through a field I would take a serious look at Power-trac for a versatile utility tractor. I have both types of tractors and really like the Power trac for easy on and off, the quickest "Quick attach" I have ever used, simple to repair, the attachment is right in front of you and not over a long hood, I could go on....
