J D engines made n china?

The Gator 825i has a China made engine. Maybe castings for the loader are made in China. I've seen mfwd front axles marked made in China, also brush cutter gear boxes. I only expect to see more and more parts made in China. JD dealer should have said assembled in GA.

Made in China loader?! Blah!

I will take some pics next time I am around his tractor hopefully soon. I was surprised myself.

They used to be made in Welland Ontario along with Gators but that plant was shut down a couple of years ago.

My 5425 has a chinese front axle made by Dana-Wuxi and who knows what else. I expected it to have a Carraro axle but at some point just prior to me buying that tractor Deere switched suppliers.
