Mahindra tractors?

Do you remember how all of those people were against buying Japanese cars? Did you know that Toyota builds 9 of their vehicles in the USA? How many of those Fords and Chevys are built in the states these days? Chances are that the majority are all built in Mexico now. So which car do you buy now?

Don"t hate the foreign manufactures, it"s the American manufactures that have dropped the ball with making inferior products. All in the name of the mighty dollar.

They must have clipped your circumcision too close and to make up for it, you use the biggest thing you have...your mouth.

I bought a new JD 5320 three years ago. I laid my money down for that green paint...so don"t start with me.

The man asked about a Mahindra and here you come slobbering green puke all over the place.

Those 5103"s you gush over are built in India and I wouldn"t be a bit surprised to learn that Mahindra makes parts for JD.

My green tractor has a Mexican engine, Italian front axle, Kraut rear end, Spanish 3 point, Spanish electronics, I understand the hydraulics are possibly Polish and hidden underneath....I see that drawbar hitch is...Made in China. So much for being ASSEMBLED in the USA by a skilled workforce of bruthas in Georgia.

As far as the U.S. suffering because you buy foreign? Give me a break! Last parts I bought from Deere, over the counter in Deere boxes - were made in China. Last new parts I bought for my IH, over the counter from my local Case-IH dealer - were made in India.

I'm an U.S. citizen - and as I see it - I suffer when I have to pay super-inflated prices for American products because of rediulous U.S. union-extorted wages.

There is nothing un-American about not being an idiot with your money and trying to get the most for your buck.

Now - as to what Mr. Buick-Deere says - it's a valid point. Name-brands like Deere certainly have better long-term resale value - and usually - better parts support. As to the latter though -I've got a 1960 Deere 1010 and also a 1960 IH Mahindra. Right now, parts support - from Case-IH and/or Mahindra - is better than from Deere for these particular tractors. In fact, Mahindra will sell me a brand-new, drop-in DI diesel engine to fit my 1960 IH - if I wanted it. That's pretty amazing.
