hey guys!
Two Lane- You are right, the SMALL tractors carry a Yanmar engine or Kawasaki,,,,but the large equipment approx 100 hp and up are all manufactured by Deere. But almost all across the board they use their own stuff. Thanks for your input 2 lane.
littlesixsteve-Who knows why that combine was coming in from overseas? But they are made in USA. Deere does lots od demos overseas and does EXPORT many many combines. Maybe it was a demo or had very few hours as a test machine coming home.!>? Our dealerships here in Kansas always prototype all the new equipment we can, and they usually get to us with a few hundred hours on them, many dealers try them, and then they go back to Deere for inspections for wear, problems etc that are to be fixed for production. We have actually demo'd a combine that was also used in Brazil, they sell many combines to Brazil and overseas for soybeans and wheat.
Nashty-Where do you work? I am coming to Ill for factory tours next month? Give me a spin in your sled?
