Chinese Tires on my JD

[Semipro]

I'm really disappointed to find that the 3032e I plan to buy has Chinese tires on it. I've had bad experiences with Chinese tires as have others according to this forum. I didn't buy John Deere over the others expecting something like that.

As was I when I discovered my high price, I mean really high priced Kubota oil filter was made in China. It's a great new world, eh?

Are there any tires companies in the US anymore?

It get worse...parts of the loader are made there also-at least on the new 200, 300 and 400 series.

John deeres are made in Japan or china, or wherever the heck overseas.

Maybe its just owned by them, I forget!

Did you buy from Wimmer?

Yeah, I've all but signed the loan though. PM me if you like.

Actually, I thought this size would be entirely made in Japan but I've found numerous components on it that are "Made in USA" and the entire tractor is assembled in Georgia. I'm just really disappointed by their choice of Chinese tires.

Napa has a really good cross reference on oil filters. I still have had no luck on my MF hydraulic filter [$55]

My Kubota L4400 has Titan wheels on it. So does the JD770D road grader that I run. Go figure.......

I suppose you were on the right track kennyd....I was thinking along the lines of "Are there ANY companies in the US anymore?...even the "traditionally" US made Brands are now made overseas...IMO origin of MFG means nothing to me...the specifications a manufacturer specifies is what makes the product...

Saying a Milwaukee grinder is now in the same "class" as an HF grinder because they are made in the same country is a stretch...

I'm just glad my 3520 at least was ASSEMBLED in the USA.....and by assembled I mean more then just bolting the tires & ROPS on...
