John Deere spending $2 billion in US

[RSKY]

I had read that JD was building in Mexico. Now they are building in the US. I wonder why?

I missed that story - could you share a link to the 2 billion news story please?

I saw a report saying their 2024 second quarter net US income was $2,37 billion and third quarter forecast was $1,734 billion.

Probably doing both. They sell worldwide.

Probably doing both. They sell worldwide.

Deeres got at least 5 separate commercial engine builders in the United states.

Superior Diesel, Engines inc, Bell power, Flint Power, and Cascade equipment.

Might be more but those are the companies I've had direct dealings with.

Each company supplies deere engine packages for certain equipment manufacturers that I carry at work.

They also set up and supply engines for marine applications as well.

So even if they send a factory out of country, they still have a ton of employment here in the states.

I spent a few days over at Engines Inc's factory for a class on Deere's final tier 4 systems, and electrical diagnostics.

They have 5 Engines Dynos. We were occupying one of the bays for live computer diagnostic testing with the laptop.

The instructor mentioned, that they were fixing to knock out the wall between bays 5 and 4 so they could put a 1,500hp marine diesel they were working on through its paces

Larson Farms on You Tube had a JD combine with only 300 hours blow the bottom of the engine out, JD mechanic swapped it out in the field with a crane
Without warranty they said would be a $100,000 bill

Yeah, I was quoted over $100,000 for an engine swap locally for a customers equipment.

I told them to hash it out between themselves and leave me out of it

Yes, I think links are needed for your credibility. If you make an assertion, and someone calls you on the details, reliable links are important.

@RSKY Here's an article that fact checks the John Deere statement above, and includes a statement about the lack of veracity of the $2 billion dollar claim from John Deere itself. You might want to read some other sources of information.

John Deere's Commitment to U.S. Manufacturing

We are proud of our history, our people and our ongoing role in U.S. manufacturing. Read more about our commitment.

This is one link from an advertisement on TBN. 60 US facilities in 16 states.

Why I put up the original post was a video about a Presidential candidate who said in an interview that he found out John Deere was building a huge factory in Mexico. Most of their production would be moved there. So he contacted the upper management and told them that if the factory was built in Mexico and he was elected that he would put tariffs on everything built there. So they couldn't import the equipment into the US. Is this true? I have no idea.
