JD\'s made in China

Well, we all know the JD Japanese connection with Yanmar but look at their larger sized tractors manufactured in China. The JD6403 is Chinese.

Don't believe everything you see. If that is a Chinese built JD it is probably a grey market. Intended for sale and use in another country. I have seen European grey market JD's for sale over here. According to JD's official web site here is what their American version JD6403 looks like.

Yep, it probably is a Deere made for the overseas market. But, it is still a Deere and has their name on it. I don't think that their name would be on it if they thought it was an inferior product. I would say that to compete in the cheaper markets that they had to keep their production costs down.
I guess those chinamen can build a decent product afterall. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: JD\'s made in China

It appears that JD has different manuals, probably for all the different versions of the 6403. I don't think ANY of these Chinese JDs are for Amercian consumption. Unless one of our members wants to be the first guy on the Chinese Tractor Board with a Chinese JD. Might be expensive to ship though. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Well it was a good laugh while it lasted fellas, but remember don't be a "playa-hater" /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: JD\'s made in China

The post never said it was an American market product. It just stated that Jd produced a tractor made in China. So the fact remains that it is a JD made in China. Ouch! That has to hurt those green guys! Relax ...i'm just teasing a little about it, because it seems funny. I'm sure it's a good product...probably just overpriced.

That may be a misconception. JD was the cheapest tractor I could buy where I could be ASSURED of local dealers, mechanics who knew the product and parts availability.

MF, AGCO, Kubota were all higher $$$ in my area. The other choices I am sure would have worked but I didn't want to be the first guy on the block to try X brand.

Oh, since we're all friends here and having a lil' fun... it is nice to own a JD because it's an excellent machine and for the following resons:

1. people stop and admire your tractor
2. "My husband really wants a John Deere"
3. the other version-" I really wanted a John Deere, but"
3. "My next tractor is gonna be a John Deere"
4. "Wow, John Deere, huh"
etc.

Kukje (Centruy/Branson) also builds John Deere's in South Korea. They are built for the Asian market. Many Caterpilars are built by Shin Caterpilar Mitsubishi in Japan. It's an international marketplace.

Actually I think they would put their name on anything they thought they could make money with. The fact that they build a Deere in China for a foreign market doesn't impress me. Build one over there, bring it over here, make it competetively priced, good quality, good support and then I will be impressed. I'm shopping for a new tractor right now. I have priced more than the big 3. I have also looked at Mahindra and Century/Branson. I have been a Deere fan for years and now I am disappointed that I probably won't buy one because of the price. For the money the AGCO is my choice at this point.
