I have no idea what that means.

 

[smythricky]

No idea why but I believe newholland started doing the same last year. It would be my preference if I was in market for new

I have no idea what that means.

Consider yourself lucky. It is best that you don't know.

Oh, I see now.
Doesn't sound like it:
“The product will be exactly the same as if it were built in North America,” said Royce Bell, John Deere’s tactical segment manager large ag.

Mind you, the next line is this rather odd statement:
“The impact to the Australian user is nil, other than the Germans pride themselves on the quality processes they put in place.”

I see.
And in North America they don't?

The Germans could make John Deere stuff not break. I want one.

Dad had a 1075 ordered new, canceled for a early inter 1420, on of his best calls avoiding the German horror

A redesign is what they need, Building them in Germany still won't help them get near a Lexion :hits-the-fan:

There's minor differences in the 3 plants from what I gathered during a tour of the US plant in November. As with anything, having 3 plants in different parts of the world leads to different innovations and they try to implement them in the others as well. I think the Germans came up with the new filtering "head" that the combines are hooked to before leaving the plant now.

Having some experience with NH machines made in Belgium & machines made in GI, there is definitely quality differences in the build.
The one that starts with "B" is a better built machine ....... & it's not only my opinion in this matter. The decision that NH in OZ has taken to supply machines built in Belgium, is not solely based on "build quality" ...... but it played a fair part in the decision.
Another factor is the "build spots" available coinciding with the delivery requirement for the OZ market. Also, the exchange rate plays a part with the Euro/OZ being less variant against each other - at least this stage of the game.

As for JD supplying machines from Europe to the OZ market, I couldn't see a problem.

Oh yes. The 1075 etc were a big pile of crap. Sims metal was & is the best place for them.

Would that be about the same as the 710 and 510 tractors. Not JDs brightest move bringing them to North America.

Go ahead! Haha, don't mean to be rood, I use to just kinda buy what I could get my hands on, I am not supporting them at all.

Germans have some great machinists but drunk engineers.:14:

Have not seen anything good from there since the Volkswagen beetle, correct me if I am wrong as maybe I missed something

Had this discussion with my Deere dealer the other day, looks like if u want a US built machine in Aus next year the case and gleaner guys are on the short list.

 

[farmbuddy]

Maybe this opens up more production line space for the twin rotor machines in the US?
I guess exchange rate (strong US dollar) could also be a factor in this change in manufacturing location.

 

[smythricky]

Why would you specifically want a us built machine.
