Very good video. I took a factory tour in 2002 but it is much nicer now. Thanks for the find.

I liked it!
I have always wondered about the witness marks in the frame bolts, now we know.

I enjoyed the video as well. I toured the Horicon Works (Wisconsin) plant in the mid 1980s and was quite impressed. I have toured the tractor assembly plant in Waterloo Iowa a couple of different times and was amazed at how clean and quiet the plant was. I would enjoy working at either.

I hope Tim's video puts to rest the claim that all of Deere's compact and sub-compact tractors are manufactured overseas and that Deere just puts the wheels and tires on in Augusta. Sure, the engines are Yanmar built in Japan and I am sure there are sub components that are too imported but it is comforting to see that a substantial portion of the tractor is assembled with parts and assemblies made in our country. Some "experts" have claimed that the Deere compacts and sub-compact are merely re-badged Yanmar tractors fully assembled overseas.

So thanks again Tim for the video.

At one time several of their models were made by Yanmar.
