[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 678669, member: 6797"] So many green, red, orange and blue tractors are made out of country that one never knows anymore. India and France are two of the largest JD manufacturers - I am not sure about the others Engines and gear boxes and Hyd pumps are often made there as well - often making that Deere, Case and Ford a truly international machine. In fact I could be very wrong - but I do not believe there is one tractor made from start to finsish in the US of A Where it is made is no longer an issue when it comes to quality in my mind - and most of us would never be able to afford a completely North American built tractor of more than 100 HP Employment wise is an entirely different matter - but try to get someone to do the manufacturing job at 8 bucks an hour - never happen and none of us want to pay much more when we hire people either As previously stated - the Versatile is likely the highest North American content - and I did NOT know it was foreign owned Basically ll the other majors have contracted out to the world All one has to do is a search on tractor manufacturers and their plant locations - it will be an eye opener.
