John Deere Frontier FL1163S Offset Flail Mower is actually a Maschio Giraffa M 160E

Do you happen to know if this is correct? Are these Maschios made in China? I'm considering the Frontier FL1163S, which comes to about $5500 with the equine discount or a Nova Tractor BCRM175 fro $3300.

My notes:

I've been reading about Maschio's made in China. I've never seen this unicorn. My Tigre 300 was made in Italy.
