Will LS be building the CaseIH compact tractors as they are for Case's cousin New Holland?

You are kidding, right?

Case is just a red NH and just like all compact tractors, they are made outside the USA. Some claim they are made in USA, but they are only assembled using foreign parts. As long as the quality is there, makes no difference where it is built in today's market. Dealerships come and go at random intervals regardless of how long they have been in business. This is due to changing markets and those who cant change with them quickly usually go under. Someone is usually waiting to take their place, so we as owners just have to reestablish relationships with the new guys.

I did hours of research on tractors before I purchased my case. From what I gathered, there are more USA parts than not. Lots of German and Canadian parts as well. Bottom line is the least China parts the better.

funny thing! One of the brands we went to when a MANUFACTUER decided not to sell compacts was for our control as we are able to deal directly. Brands and names we've sold? 17 and climbing!

The data manufacturing plate on my Case D35 states Made in U.S.A. I suppose it is no different than a Harley Davidson, my Ford P.U. or any other piece of machinery sold in the U.S. It is made up of parts from around the world and hopefully assembled here. One of the reasons I bought this tractor was that data plate.

That data plate is fastened to a transmission housing, rear axle assembly, hitch cover, engine and front frame that is cast, machined, assembled, and painted in Japan then shipped to the USA where the controls, sheet 'metal', cooling system, rims & tires, and other parts are bolted to it.

I sell that brand as well and it is just assembled here!!! Maybe that plate was made here!!!

Umm, like I said like my Ford Pu, (engine made in Mexico, electronics from China, Tires China, starter motor Japan, etc, etc. It says manufactured in Missouri but what do I know.

I just learned yesterday that the CVT is made in Italy. Better than China I guess.

There is an aluminum tag on top of the trans that says made in Italy, but it's hard to tell what it's attached to. Probably a sensor or harness. I was hopefull though. Thanks for the info.
