Back in the '90's I used to have neighbors and friends that worked for GM's Electromotive works in McCook, IL. They used to build locomotives there in their entirety. According to them, at some point a corporate decision was made that they'd only make the parts for the locomotives, then ship them by rail to some facility in Canada where they'd be assembled into locomotives, then those locomotives would be pulled back to McCook where they'd make them run. I guess like anything else, somebody(s) in charge at the top knew why, but nobody(s) at the bottom could figure it out. Guess its like anything else...

You don't suppose them green things get shipped by rail up to East Moline where they're made to run as well, do you?

John Deere bought the company, I'd assume mostly for that technology!

Has six legs and designed for very low ground impact -- if it detects the ground is "too" soft, it'll relocate a foot before putting weight on it.

he told me that the Mexicans would take any planter and any corn head they could get from up here... they would mix and match till they got what they wanted --- row size didnt matter :)
