No your 5100M is only assembled in USA. A friend of mine bought a 5115M and took the Gold Key Tour of the plant in GA and he said there's nothing actually made there just parts coming in from everywhere and assembled.
Kioti Parts made in.....China?

The equipment world is definitely global now. No avoiding it really. John Deere, Kubota, New Holland/Ford, Massy, Mahindra, really any of them. Maybe it isn't something to purposefully avoid. I've found many items made in the US to be just as junk as some items made in china, though china produces FAR more junk. We the consumers, as a collective, push the market on where things are made in the end.
As far as my Kioti is effected, I've got to say that Daedong Metal Ltd isn't a bad place to have most of the tractor made. Major Customers | Daedong Metals Co., Ltd.
They also make parts for Hyundai, LS Mtron, Hydrotech, Volvo, Doosan, and Kubota to name a few. Interesting that last one. I don't claim to know what parts they make for Kubota, I'm sure it's just a few occasional castings and gearing, but it does imply the opposite of what some Kubota dealers have stated to me. But it's all part of the global economy now. If daedong can make some parts for kubota that meet kubota strick quality expectations, then thats good for all of us.

Just a short cliff note on made in usa or assembled in usa
What It Takes To Be "Made In The USA"
Forget about the legal stuff, geez.

One thing I've noticed on some things made in China (plumbing & electric)
Just the word
"China" = cheap
"China" with part number or manufacturers name = made to standards
Tractor parts ??
