Yeah, most everything is assembled here, but not produced here. Just on the assembly point, did you ever see the report on the Kubota facility in Oakwood, GA? It is interesting that 37 people are on the line that can assemble 50 to 60 tractors a day for Kubota.

Assembled here mostly means, final assembly, in reality. The tractors from the orient are shipped here in crates aboard ships, of course. It is easier to ship them without their wheels, tires, seats, rops, etc. When we generally think of assembly of a vehicle manufactured here, we think of starting with a slightly more blank slate. Does final assembly create a few jobs? sure. The bottom line is that like almost anything else you can think of, we simply do not build "stuff" in the US to the degree we once did. It is what it is.

Nope. As other have said most are assembled here. My dealers son took a factory tour of NH, I believe it was in Georgia?? but not sure. Tractors came in from Japan and all they added was the hood, fenders, rops, steering wheel, fuel tank and tires and wheels and some minor wiring etc that sort of thing

He said it was like assembling a bike from a store when it comes in a box.

I don't think he was referring to you, doall. The OP used title case and ran his sentences together so that it does make you a bit queasy to read. Title case is harder to read than all caps. I also have a hard time reading bold case posts. I'd rather see people just type lower case and forget caps and punctuation.

Well when I got on it, I was cramped. The seat was way too low and the seat was all the way back; when I pushed back on the seat adjustment, I hit the ROPS. Maybe you guys have a different seat, the one I was on had a black seat.

I have a Montana (LS 40 hp) and I agree that the seating feels funny. I think your butt is lower so knees are higher and you feel like you are sitting 'in it' as opposed to 'on it'. Kind of similar to comparing a car seat to a minivan seat, the more leg you have under you the tougher you feel (?).

You get used to it... but I would prefer it if my seat was probably one inch higher. Maybe try putting a pillow on the tractor seat and see if that makes you feel better?:laughing:

Are you Sure you don't want an HST? If You Shift Alot Your SHift Appendage Might Be Sore. :laughing:

I'm sorry, I really couldn't help it :ashamed:

Seriously, you don't want HST? Or at least a shuttle?

Rexman3,

I got the 3040 Hydro and it does all I need it to do with two ranges and dual speeds in each range. Some guys really like the shuttle but I've never owned one. Good luck on whatever you decide to buy.
