You must keep in mind that John Deere like many other companies started out as an American company but now they are a global company. They sell equipment worldwide so therfore it would make sense to manufacture worldwide. Just because something reads "made in USA" doesn't always mean it's good and on the flipside "made in Japan" is not always bad. Korea like Japan has made leaps and bounds in quality and technology that made many American companies step up their game as well. China has the potential to be dominant player in the Ag and auto market in the near future. As for me, I don't care who or where it came from as long as it performs the tasks I bought it to do and last longer than the payments.
