Where is everyone?

Just wait till the John Deere bleed green guys get some of the chinese made JD. I hear that they are looking at partnering with one of the china factories for some of their CUT models or maybe already have them in stock. I really dont keep up with the big 3 news in fact dont search any of them for new models any more as I think I have more than adequate stock in tractors to last me a lifetime. Interesting to read all the hype though.

You don't think that will go over well why!

Well mostly because the chinese made stuff is junk and might last till the warranty runs out at best. Dont think that JD can tell them to build it per JD standards and get good as good quality as a company that has been doing it for many years. Even Kubota had to have had a learning curve where their first tractors were not that great or at minimum had more than average quality issues. Chinese made steel is not up to par to date so I for sure wouldnt trust a tractor to be made there if they cant even make the raw products for it.

Where are you finding the info that JD will be using chinese products, I hadn't heard that yet. Maybe it's just a best layed secret!

I've been making hay. plowing up old fields to re-seed, moving dirt, bush cutting, mowing pastures. I'm supposed to be retired! I gotta go back to work to get a rest!! My 7010 did a great job plowing up 15 acres of old field with a 2 furrow plow.

Man I would think so with that much HP and traction behind it. It should pull 4-6 easily.
