Buying Advice Made in the USA tractors

[Gee Ray]

Maybe I should change the name to alternative tractors for sale that are partially made in the USA. And someone on here might benefit from learning about them. The important part to me was / is machines that might help out our neighbors.

I myself was looking for "garden tractors" when I found the tuff-built, oggun and tilmore. Still looking for something other then a zero turn to mow with.

Simplicity still makes a garden tractor and was hoping for more ideas. More garden tractor as opposed to a lawn tractor.

Go buy an Allis Chalmers "G", it's ALL AMERICAN made from AMERICAN steel and can be bought for a lot less than an Oggun that's just a wanna-b Allis G..

A zillion accessories were available for the G and years on down the road, if you choose to sell it, you will get your money back.

You will find Allis G models still in production.

Good luck finding an Allis G "still in production"!

OR are you talking about those wanna B's ?, they aren't even close to being an Allis G.

You'll find a few hobby farmers producing produce for farmers markets with them. Other than that they are all in collectors hands.

Depending on what you are mowing look at the tuff-built and their mower option.


Are we saying there is no FARM tractors made in the USA and I will add Canada either?

As to the comment Case has shipped the blocks or engines to China is something I always wonder about. But lets take lumber here. We grow the trees, we harvest and haul them to port. We load them on ships to travel to Japan for them to be unloaded and haul to the mill there to be cut into lumber to be loaded to be shipped back to us to be unloaded to be hauled to us to be sold to the people who raise the trees. Now tell me how is that most cost effective than cutting the tree, hauling to a mill say within 100 miles and being cut into lumber to be hauled back 100 miles to be bought by the person who raises the trees? Folks shipping is not cheap or loading and unloading. So much of the milling of lumber is computer controlled and bet we would be amazed how little "TIME" there is in a board milled in the USA mills today. So where is the cost savings? I do not believe it is in the labor difference. The amount of label for all the additional steps would have to make up for the pay difference. So is it in government regulations? I think so.

Well if you come down to it, All Kubotas made in Georgia would be considered American made, same with JD's made in Wisconsin or in Moline.

Kubota? Almost all the moving parts made in Japan or other countries then assembled here. They might make some newer models here, but my big Kubotas were made in Japan.
Kubota Assembled in USA? Yeah maybe, but mostly engines, transmissions, axles not made in USA.
Their loaders are made in USA, but thats all I am aware of.

Got a 1950 Cub and a 1937 Deere LA in the barn and a Allis G sitting next to them would be nice. As for actively using one on the farm not for us. Looks like the prices on them are dropping?

We buy pumpkins each fall from a guy that uses a G on his place.
