Reply #20: We've imported tractors for a LOOOOOONG time [View All]

[jmowreader]

Check out Yanmar (made in Japan) or Kioti (made in Korea) tractors. Also, I checked out http://www.billstractor.com, which is the web presence of a dealership selling Mahindras for TEN YEARS.

Now note something: Yanmars, Kiotis and Mahindras, as well as Bransons (made in Korea), are all "compact tractors." If you're looking for something huge, your choices narrow to John Deere and Massey-Ferguson, both of which are American-made. Not much use for a 500-horsepower tractor in Korea.

I will bet, however, that Mahindra doesn't have the Gold Key Program that John Deere offers. I just found out about this one. If you buy a piece of equipment made at John Deere's Waterloo Works, you are given a Gold Key Day...where you get to fly to Waterloo, Iowa, tour the factory, and see the machine with your name on the title coming off the assembly line.
