Country of origin?

( Is Kubota (assembled in USA) more American than good ole Deere? Say it ain't so! 

Consider this one point, while the Kubota may be assembled here from parts made in Japan, the profits go back to Japan. Depending on the model, a JD may be assembled there or here, but the profits come back to a company based in Illinois and are dispursed through that community. Last time I checked, Illinois was still part of the USA.

Well said!!!

I have always been a buy American guy and for the most part I still am. ( I don't see me ever owning a Nissan or Toyota) When I was tractor shopping i researched all the brands that are available for purchase in my town with the exception of Mahindra for 2 reasons 1 My uncle had one that I had operated so I felt familiar with them 2. I did not like the people at the Mahindra dealership so therefore they didn't really have a shot to sell me a tractor. Ok so now that I have said all that I say in my research i found the only Made in America tractor was ( December 2010) the John Deere M series IE 5085m 5065m ect. Those tractors are made in GA the John Deere D/E series is made in India as well as the New Holland Workmasters (among others). After all my research I bought the Kubota M6040 MFWD and will be happy to take on the challenges of any other comparable tractor.
