Buying Advice Need help with importing a JD 5075E from India to USA.

[MHarryE]

The tractor will need an engine certification label like this found on my Kubota M5. M5 is built in Japan. My M7 has a different style certification as the engine was built in Japan, installed in a tractor built in France, and imported into North America. It only states EU certified. I’ve been retired for several years and there may have been updates, but for we manufacturers, controls were rigid. We used that to restrict customers purchasing identical machines in a low transaction price country and moving it to a high transaction price country. Yes, a factory in a country may build identical units in one country for sale worldwide, and then limit where an individual unit is sold by emissions certification label.

So really all you need to do is find someone who is willing and capable of making a label.

I’m betting China has a whole bunch of opportunities to acquire one.

I keep wondering why anyone would import a JD from India to the US when there are so many domestic dealers here.

Probably because the price is so much cheaper.

I priced a Farm King bale wrapper that is built in Poland and imported to North America . Buhler imports with the Farm King sticker on it and even keeps the same model number.

Local price quoted several years ago was $6500. I found the same wrapper for sale online in Poland for $2500. Not sure what the per unit freight on a container load of them would be.

Not cheap I'm sure. IM containerized freight has went through the roof. No deals today.

To the OP NEVER ask a question to any governmental agency that you don't already know the answer to, especially any US Environmental agency, if you want that tractor over here you better get you one of them compliance stickers that others are talking about. Good luck.

Freight for 20ft from China was $2,000. It was basically for a container that size, according to who I dealt with. You could fill it with pillows or in my case a 3.5ton excavator with a couple extra buckets.

6-8 week wait +$$ for a 20ft HC from China. I opted to have them ship my excavator with the cab off so it would fit in a standard height 20ft.
