Are those deere loaders, that are made in china?

I looked at some deere loaders and they were made in china.

Quite certain these 5 series loaders are not made in China. I believe and somebody correct me if I’m wrong there assembled in Mexico. I will say they have a impressive build quality to them .
Scratching my head though why they’d use a bolt that’s one length too short to reach the nylon lock ring of the nut.

Tractor only has 29 hours on it and very little loader use. I’d be surprised if they rattled out. Maybe though I guess. If they did you’d think there’d be a lot more people complaining.

 

[johnsayen]

I do agree the bolts are too short though.

Update: dealer replaced the welded mounting bracket and everything works as intended now. The spring pin will release when fully curled even without any attachments.

Good news, did they bother to use a bolt one size longer than the original so it actually goes thru the nylock lock ring on nut?

 

[johnsayen]

Nope, they used the Deere spec bolts. I wonder why they are so short?

 

[LouNY]

So those bolts don't even start to touch the nylock part of the nut.

Evidently Deere isn’t aware there just a little too short to reach the nylon lock ring. Or 99% of the time they hold until your warranty expires .
For less than $5 and about 5 minutes I’d certainly replace them with a 25mm length like I did in my previous post.
You’re Dealer did cover the repair under warranty this time I’m sure. Once that expires it only takes one to rattle loose and you’ll be back in same predicament.

I am usually disappointed to see any of the legacy brands now making things in China. A feeling of “sellout” or “cheap quality” seems to find it’s way into me.
When I buy Deere, I wan USA-made Deere, not “China”.

With that in mind, my Deere CX-15 is manufactured in China and assembled in Mexico. The gearboxes are made in China (as are all the others). When I bought it over 10 years ago, I was unhappy about it.

10+ years has passed. The CX-15 has been nearly flawless. I had one driveshaft u-joint fail and ruin the driveshaft yolk. It was about $800.

So (1) $800 repair on a $20,000 attachment over 10+ years. And for all I know, I might have been at fault for forgetting to grease it.

I’ve come to the conclusion that “Made in China” can run the gamut from “junk” quality to “excellent” quality. I still don’t like it, but you end-up relying on the mothership company to maintain quality standards when they move production to China, Mexico, etc.

My Ram is made in Mexico. Quality has been excellent.

I'm glad you are happy with your deer rotary cutter, but I still have a bad taste in my mouth from all those MX6's that broke bottom shafts over and over.

As for your dodge, I have one of those too, and it's been a POS with electrical problems, I'll never buy another one of those either!

I've owned or now own Chevy, Ford, Dodge, and Toyota, the Chevys have been the best by far so that's what I buy these days.

I judge them by how reliable they are when the miles start piling up on them, not when they are new. They are all nice when they are new.

BTW, my dodge was made in mexico too, my Silverado was made in Indiana.
