People wonder why our economy is so poor. It started with NAFTA and the fair trade agreement. Buying these foreign tractors doesn't help one bit. Sadly American manufacturers don't make a tractor under eighty horse. They rely on the cheap imports and put their tin and paint on them. It makes me sad every time someone promotes these tractors while we have workers in this country sitting idle.

In a compact tractor just how are you going to "buy American"? Even JD buys theirs from Yanmar IIRC and in fact I don't know of any US company building a 100 HP or smaller tractor here in the states. OH and by the way, CaseIH/NH is owned by FIAT so even if made in the USA they fall in the same category as the FIAT owned Chryslers and Rams right there side by side with US made Toyota, Nissan and Kubota made products. Think of that the next time you dream of owning a RAM diesel.

Everybody wants things cheap, but they don't want to work cheap. American manufacturers like to blame their labor force for higher production cost. Is it still cheaper to buy tractors from across the ocean and still sell them here cheaply? I'd rather buy older American made equipment than to send my money to another country. This site is called yesterdays
tractors, not cheap foreign tractors.

You are the one who complained about people buying foreign made compact tractors. Just how is buying a used tractor helping the American worker? It's already been made and 90% of replacement parts are made off shore.
I do very much agree that we want cheap stuff then complain about jobs as we buy stuff from China.
Companies have to be competitive with other companies. Only one has to start outsourcing or importing to shoot the whole works in the back side. Thing of it is, we've been outsourcing for over a century. It's nothing new.

At least when you buy an older U.S built tractor the money doesn't get sent to China right away. You can buy all the Chinese tractors you want for all I care. Let our country go to the Chinese and other cheap labor countries.
