[AT] Bringing tractor production to the USA

[James Peck]

When Seἣora Kirchner was president of Argentina she jawboned Agco into assembling tractors there. Agco had been happy enough selling Brazilian made product in Argentina. I wonder if that mandate has been undone. I do not know if any of those Brazilian made tractors are ending up in the US.



[Cecil Bearden] IMHO, Agco is the worst thing that hit the agriculture scene in the last 25 years.



They stated they were going to be the Sears & Roebuck for agriculture. They also said it made no difference where a tractor or equipment was made.   So the same model may be different on the inside and you have to have the serial number to find the right part.   I have enough problems with that on my Caterpillar equipment.   The biggest problem is finding the right part on my E110B trackhoe it was made by Mitsubishi for Cat, but they changed the hydraulics 4 times in the models produced.
