The whole idea behind those tarrifs is to bring manufacturing back to the U.S.

Mahindria carried on making the IH B414 tractors when production stopped in 1982 at the Bradford factory. I have a friend who imports parts from Mahindria for the Bradford tractors and the quality is very good. I belive the tractor parts man in the Netherlands buys from the same scorce in India. MJ
It would be nice if the news people would make a chart showing the tariffs that the US has been charged over the years and compare what we are charging and what we are being now I have friends that worked for RJR Tobacco co.that were sent to different countries to learn how to work on the machines that were used in the factories in Winston Salem,NC and cigarettes were about three times the price in foreign countries compared to what they were at home.

Good JD is always trying to pass itself off as the All American Company so now they can step up to the plate and prove it actually build those tractors in the USA.

When it comes to tariffs, we have always been on the short end of things. Maybe it is time that we took back the industries that we have shipped all over the world and start supporting our own workers. As I see it, our leader has been taking us out of unfair agreements that the previous apologists have gotten us into.

Exactly, we have an extreme worker shortage, especially skilled workers! And do you want to buy a tractor built by an unskilled worker?

"Makes" is a subjective word I'd say in the case of Deere in the USA and small tractors assemble or bolt together major components would be more accurate.

Jim ..... the movement of manufacturing from North America offshore had nothing to do with tariffs, well very little to do with tariffs. It had to do with the great North American dream of the common worker to have a new car every year, a second vacation home and a swimming pool in the back yard. And the only way to get those goodies was to demand (and usually get) ridiculously high wages for basically what were menial unskilled jobs. The result of course was that companies just set up elsewhere on the planet where wages were lower ..... much lower actually, lower to the extreme, but that's what happened. Donald would sing a different song of course, I guess we'll see how this all pans out. So far, I don't see companies tripping over each other to come back home.

The point of imposing the tariffs is to get everyone's attention and eventually get them to the bargaining table. This is going to be expensive all around and nobody is going to want to bear the financial burden of this for long.
It's just too bad that the media won't report on the terms of the one-sided trade deals that were brokered during previous administrations. If the public knew how much of the shaft we've been getting and for how long, they'd be behind this, but you know it doesn't serve the agenda so it will be buried.

Kukje in S. Korea builds some. www their site and tour it; models listed. They also supply tractors under the Branson name to the USA. Very fine,
reliable machines.

The US has had a uneven history with tariffs. The early Tariff of Abomonations in the mid 19th century helped cause the Civil War. The Hawley-Smoot tariff of the early 20th century helped cause the Great Depression. Countries impose tariffs for 2 basic reasons, to protect the taxing country's economy, or to raise revenue.

It is an interesting reflection of American trades, balances and imbalances, both past and present. I have wondered for quite awhile....what if...it starts with an immediate audit of all federal gov programs, start by eliminating redundancy and eliminate all foreign to countries that do not care for the carrot, start auditing all social programs for waste and fraud and those that are abusing the system, reduce taxes and the federal budget by same amount saved. Let all that catch up then do further waste elimination studies to reduce more of the federal gov by at least 10% aim for 15%, further reduce the budget and reduce taxes. Would that drive industry to bring jobs back and maybe create a tax balance program with companies that try to invest in people to give them a skill, even if it is a repetitive but needed skill in a manufacturing environment so that those that were getting hand outs instead of hand ups could or would have the potential to rise above.
It makes me wonder what that could for this country. Would enough people have money in their pockets here at home to afford the latest and greatest gadget that is currently being built in SE asia and instead buy it from a company building them here? I realize that this is all a pipe dream, but it is fun to wonder.

Deere builds compact tractors through either 5-series or 6-series in Augusta, GA and some in Mexico for the South American market. 7-series through 9-series are made in Waterloo, IA. Deere is one of the best companies I know about using American labor and building right here in the US for the US and export market. They do have factories worldwide but very little of the equipment made in those factories is imported to the US.

End of the day, regardless if its a tractor part or an everyday item...
Does the American people want to buy a $2,500.00 American made TV or do they want to buy the Wal-Mart option?
Does the American people want to buy the Japanese made Honda generator or do the want to buy the Chinese made Champion Generator from Tractor Supply?
Does the American people have enough money to buy American made products? We can bring all this manufacturing back to America and the cost of living for the average American will go up along with it. Passing the expense (cost of manufacturing) back to the end user. How is this any different when there is an increase in minimum wedge? The product of the shelf goes up and the consumers are complaining about the price increase.
We can place tariffs on China and stop companies from out sourcing manufacturing there. When this happens these companies will move to the next country to keep there manufacturing cost low. Whether that's India, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, or even Western Africa....
Its a vicious cycle.
