It would be nice to look at a tractor or accessories and see the provenance.
These are expensive items and we all know that some global locations make garbage and others make gold.
Manufacturers are chasing the dollar and consumers do the same. We all want the most for less.
But the requirement to do two weeks of research to know where a frame is built, an engine assembled, cab designed, everything put together, what paint color, who addresses warranty and what zip code for complaints is ridiculous.

Not that hard to do. Besides, l feel you’re overthinking this.
Kubota makes a very good tractor. It’s made in Japan. Mahindra tractor is now half owned by Mitsubishi. They are assembled in 5 plants in the USA. Made in India and if you visited their plant there, you’d be impressed as it measures to a world class operation.
With everything you mentioned, you could go crazy l suppose figuring it all out if you want. The most important part is the dealership and if you like the operation of what you’re sitting on.

Its not right to complain about what someone said about a
tractor/part where its made because at the time the person
saying that was correct but unknown to this person the company changed plans and now tractors/parts/engines are
being made someplace different so wake up this happens all
the time!!

Growing up when Japanese cars were first coming in there were plenty of vets I heard saying not in my lifetime...
For some reason I don't recall the same degree of sentiment towards German cars.
Japan basically rebuilt using Western management and production theory with the highest industrial award named after American Professor Edwards Deming...
