The MF 1835 is a great tractor! I strongly considered one during my last tractor purchase. I’m sure it would be a great investment for your property.

LOL. I think that Kubota has more US made content than the US brands.
I didn’t think the Kubota tractors had any US made components? I believe some assembly is done in the US and Kubota works closely with Land Pride for attachments but, I thought that was about it.

I could be totally wrong though..

You are wrong, Rdrcr. Kubota is more "American" than any other compact tractor made today. But that doesn't mean it is all American. If you want to avoid buying a tractor than has no Chinese made parts, I am pretty sure that you won't be able to buy a tractor.

I hope you are right, simply because it seems like most products are better today when they are made start to finish within a modern industrial country.

American industry was that way for many years. Now Japanese industry has followed suit. Look at the whole line up of Japanese cars, trucks, tractors, and tools. Very nice quality in every case.

Distributed manufacturing may be the way of the future - if the bugs are worked out. But for right now we have a way of manufacturing that works better.

My Massyey1742 runs like a fine Seiko watch. Cab is fabulous.

People always focus on the factory jobs. But America has lost most of the high paying white collar jobs in heavy industry like engineering, accounting, tooling, and on and on. Those high paying jobs that brought in a lot of taxes for our nation are now across an ocean. USA assembly is nice, but comes at a big price.
