pbutler - 3/25/2013 06:15 Hate to say it but where you gonna find an all American made tractor?.....kind of sad agree.
And how much more would you be willing to pay for something that has every component made in USA/Canada?


I wouldn't pay any more.  Quality coming out of US factories is low. China can make a better product when spec'd for quality with good QC in place. American workers are too expensive and lazy. Cuts into the fund for good QC.

As Daimler. Their problem trucks come from the UAW plant  in the US. Their good trucks come from Mexico. In Mexico if a worker does a poor job or is lazy he/she gets fired and a new one is there in 5 minutes. In the US they are protected and don't care if they loose their job because they can then get plenty of money for doing nothing. i will not get into a political debate or union debate, this is the way I see it and my viewpoint is shaped by many key peoples responses to why they make things they way they do.

I proudly spend more for things made in Germany every day, the difference is the quality and innovation are both above and beyond anything America could produce. 

What are the German products you are referring to?


Fendt, Claas, Bosch, Metabo, Knipex, Wiha, Wera, Stihl Audi,VW, BMW, Mercedes Benz are some of the ones that come to mind. Not every one of these companies makes all of their products within Germany, however the quality is carried over. Michelin is French but they are my first choice for tires, followed by Bridgestone which is Japanese. Japan ranks higher than USA for me for many products as well. Anything small with a diesel they build and do a great job at it. Volvo is from Sweden but their Wheel Loaders go above in beyond in my opinion. 

The reason I list Germany is due to the fact that I can count on my hands the number of products I have purchased big or small that have let me down with a COO of Germany. Its a country fueled by innovation and quality. My family is all German and everyone is pretty full of themselves and strict, but its the same quality that goes into making a quality product.
