I always thought that all the compact tractors were imported from Shibaura in Japan in a crate and then assembled in a New Holland plant in Georgia owned by CNH. In 1999 New Holland merged with Case Corporation under its parent company FIAT to form Case-Newholland. CNH global brought Case the #2 Agricultural Equipment maker together with New Holland the #3 maker to form the worlds largest equipment producer. They are all JIS standard metric except for the rims and tires which are produced in the USA.

I have no idea what he said but I believe they are assembled in Georgia. I'm not aware if they build the drive train at this location. My dealer stated they do have great quality control and the TCs are far less problems than the TN series. ( per his past experience )
