That is always your guys defense "just assembled". It is like you guys are looking for a tractor 100% made in the U.S with U.S parts...which you should all know is pie in the sky thinking. The level of assembly and production that takes place in Augusta is far greater than what other companies do in the U.S (were they just place tires and loaders on their tractors).

If we think a Ford truck that comes out of the Dearborn plant is "built" in the USA then the JD's that come out of Augusta are "US" built. We export tractors all the time, you ask the rest of the world where these tractors are built and they will tell you "U.S.A".

In the case of the Ford F-150, made in Claycomo MO: or Dearborn Mich a lot of it was made in the US. To see where your vehicles engine and drive train was made visit this site: Cars and Trucks That Are Built in the United States - Interactive Graphic - NYTimes.com

here is some definitions

Definition of Manufactured
1: is the use of machines, tools and labor to make things for use or sale. The term may refer to a range of human activity, from handicraft to high tech, but is most commonly applied to industrial production, in which raw materials are transformed into finished goods on a large scale

can someone tell me the defferance

That is part of what I am getting at...if you are willing to say the "larger AG JD's" are made it the U.S how can you exclude the smaller JD's that undergo similar manufacturing/assembly in the U.S? Do you think the Large AG trctors don't have foreign made parts?

yea they have foriegn made parts on them but they have some american parts where them compacts has none

So you are saying no JD 4000 or 5000 series tractors have American made parts on them?! Come on guy that is a about as silly of a statement as you will ever read on here. On the 4000 series it is easier to say this was built here and this was built there...but are you really saying the 5000M series tractors (and their predacesors) have no American built parts on them????
