- debunking many of the dishonest claims John Deere makes in their competitive comparisons of these tractors.
Kubota Parts & Equipment @ www.messicks.co...
I like the fair comparison you gave.
I learned years ago when I went to replace my garden tractor that deere was not American anymore. That was the day I got my first Kubota and have stayed with them for over 20 years now.
Glad someone is stating facts!!!! Would like to here the prices with each comparison!!!
Your videos made me a more informed buyer. Bought a MX 5400
I did the same. Love it so far.
Part of me says you should include the prices and differences in these comparsion also.
5055e is approximately 3k more dollars than the MX 52 depending on transmission options
Jayson Zimmerman Deere usually costs more.
True, but again, the MX isn't really a comparable tractor except in HP.
Good overview, Neil. Your last bit of advice is key. Find a good reliable dealer(s), then get off the computer and go there, talk to them, and try them out for yourself. One thing that drives me nuts about tractor comparison videos: Most of them like to show the loaders being operated without the tractor being ballasted properly- then they talk smack about so and so not having any traction or stability. A certain brand with red tractors made in India is famous for doing that...
Thank you for explaining different tractors, plus and minus. I'm glad you pointed out which ones are at made in USA versus outside the country. I'm glad you get nit picky because when you own something for years these become important.
I compared three, Blue, Green and Orange, after almost a week of comparing tractors I when with the MX5200, I like the quick disconnect, skid steer and the value for the money. I have a Blue (NH) I've had for 18 years, never let me down and I have a Green lawn tractor, but for me the my next tractor was the MX5200 - one other thing my dealer compared was the fact you can tilt and raise or lower the bucket at the same time, very smooth and easy controls
Pete Vit just bought an MX 5200 last month. I am overjoyed with it. I compared it to green and red. It fit me better than any and I really like the performance.
@@kevinashby3784 one word of caution I was given, with a turbo diesel make sure you let it idle, cool off for a couple minutes before you shut it down. you'll really enjoy that machine, I have a 2001 NH 3415 that's been great - but overwhelmed a bit running a square baler
Looks like the jd has a global loader hookup to me but the bottom pin release is ridiculous compared to a quicke loader. Good job giving john deere hell. Keep up the good work. Ya need to compare a jd 6155m or r to a m7 kubota.
Good video. One thing regarding the bucket or fork attachment, with the Deere global system on that tractor you want the attachment up off the ground before pulling the lever. Once you pull the lever you never have to get off the tractor again to reattach the implement. Just roll back the attachment and the system self locks.
+Jeff Guimond so when you pull the pin, what keeps it from going right back in the he?
Messick Farm Equipment
You give the rod a slight twist clockwise and it locks in the out position (unlocked) when you roll the bucket off and pick up the forks ( or vise versa) once you pick up the new attachment you roll it back all the way and it automatically locks it on. ( the rod is spring loaded)
+Jeff Guimond learned something new. Thx.
Messick Farm Equipment
No problem. Quite honestly I figured it out by accident. The dealer didn't really explain the system in detail. Quite frustrating messing around with it until I figured that out.
Keep up the good work! Good videos!
That is a great feature! Not enough for me to get away from skid steer quickattach... but still great!
That original video that compared the 5e to the mx was just embarrassing for John Deere. I don't even know tractors too well but the very first thing I noticed was that they looked like two completely different classes of tractors - even though they didn't put them in the same shot together. In the end it really makes Kubota look quite good.
Well he compared a base model Deere to a higher model Kubota..A M class Deere compared to his higher model would have been a more fair comparison. I have a 5 series deere and love it. Smooth as silk
Neil, you should do a big blooper reel at the end of the year, like, an entire year worth of bloopers.
you know there are bloopers at the end of each video?
Really good Video, you put quite some thought into it.
We own a 5055E on our Farm in Germany and some of the Downsides are completely Different in the European Version.
We have the 540E Pto speed with the Standart 9/3 Transmission (I don't like the 9/3... Get the 12/12 if you are looking for these tractors)
I can't judge how much Pto hp the Tractor really has, but it did surprise me that it is rated so low. We do only mow with a small 1.6m drum Mower and power a manure pump from time to time, which it has plenty of power to do so and the 540E really helps keep the noise down.
I'm not certain, but the attacher on the loader seems to be a European one, so it's not a John Deere exclusive, they are just the only ones who use them in the US. These attachers are used on 90% of all loaders from all brands that are produced after 1990 or so. They are on a loader that is designed for a 50hp tractor and also on loaders for tractors with 250 hp. They are everywhere over here. The locking mechanism looks like shit, it's not supposed to come out of the hole completly.
Ours is fine. Also the Hydraulic quick connect for the loader sits in the worst possible spot. As you already showed, it even extends beyond the outside of the tractor!
On our version the complete Hydraulic valve sits on the side of the loader, within the outer lines of the vehicle.
The parking brake on the euro one is on the left side of the driver's seat and it's just one of the regular pull stile one we know from cars.
It also surprises me that the US tractors get so narrow front Wheels. They look hideous! Ours are 320mm wide and come Standart from the factory!
And why do some many us tractors don't have a self leveling loader? I don't get it...
Because they are 1k$ cheaper? They are also a pain in the butt to work with, as you have found out in the video.
If you have any more questions what's different on our tractor feel free to ask ;)
John deere calls that system the Global Carrier, so I suspect you're right about the bucket detatch system. They also offer Skid Steer as an option.
As for the self levelling feature- they do have them for all their higher end loaders- this one here is an economy model. It's interesting the difference between European and North American equipment, insofar as standard equipment and options, isn't it.
Outstanding overview and detailed comparison between these tractors. Most importantly, you pointed out half truths, deceptive sales tactics between popular brand tractors. Good that you mentioned that John Deere was made in India, just as the Mahindra tractor is and that most common brands are international made/built/engineered. I believe most John Deere tractors are over rated. Kubota is a Japan brand and Japanese build quality reliable products.
Mahindra is also partially owned, I think about 30% by Mitsubishi, so you get some of that company in there too, which may or may not be good depending on the overall mashup of components.
Thank you for this. I agree 100 percent. I was getting ready to make my own video until I saw yours. Comparing a 50 series John Deere against an MX Series is ridiculous. One point that you missed is the claim that lower rpms translates to better fuel economy. Think of running your car in high gear all the time. If you are lugging then your fuel economy is not going to be good. Also engines are designed to run at certain rpms, just because the rpm are lower does not mean the fuel economy is better. Also. John Deeres love of plastic for hood material is misguided at best. Yes it won't corrode or dent. But it also won't last( had a few John Deere mowers, the first thing that went was the plastic hood. They should show what happens when the hood is impacted at 20 degrees Fahrenheit! I went to several dealers before deciding on Kubota. One of the big things that helped sway me was the Kubota engine vs. the Yanmar in the John Deere. My brother in law worked on mowers and told me that a guy who worked for a school system showed him a video of a Kubota diesel zero turn running and mowing with fire coming out of the exhaust. Said they had been running it like that for a week! Upon inspection my brother in law found the radiator completely plugged and had been for a while. No coolant whatsoever! I am happy with my MX 5200!
john deere reminds me of Harley Davidson the dealer's I have been to imply how lucky you are they are their to take your money and you are not quite worthy of their equipment
Weird, I didn’t get that from my local Deere dealer. They have been very accommodating. I had many issues form a “lemon” tractor that was purchased back from me with zero haggling on the issue. John Deere has been great to deal with, but having said that, I’m not much of a Harvey Dobson rider so I’m not too familiar with your experience.
I like Global Attachment,you pull the locking pin back when you attach the bucket,roll the bucket back and the pin locks in place,no getting off the tractor to lock the bucket to the loader.The locking pin on the demonstration JD tractor is a defect or the roll pin has come out preventing it from being pulled too far.I didn't think the non self leveling loaders were capable of moving the bucket and the loader at the same time.I don't even know why manufacturers offer a non self leveling loader. Yes, I do operate a 5075E with a self leveling loader with Global Attachments.It has had a few hydraulic fitting seeps. The engine runs strong and the transmission is geared well.I have cleared some property that should have had a bulldozer rather than the 5075E.Overall I'm pleased with the JD.I don't know much about the Kubota,I wish you would have made some comparisons.Where is it manufactured? It looks like the Spects are comparable with the 5055E and the M6060. Yes a much better comparison.One Thing I don't like about the Kubota is when the paint fades it turns pink. I have heard the transmissions are going out at 1800HRS,something about the reverse band?
why does everybody compare john deere economy tractors. I want to see some john deere R or M series compared
He has to get one in on a trade first. Lots of these E series units floating around.
I completely agree.
I use to own bobcat but we own Kubota SV75 Skid loader and Kubota Excavator and I love them. Simple maintenance!
The problem with front drive shaft enclosed inside is you need to split the tractor to replace the seal as I did in 600 hrs on a 5100
Nice video, I've seen a few of the John Deere videos that are deceptive. I own a Kubota M9960 and there are three things about it I dont like.
1) The three point hitch system is too small, it's impossible to use bale forks because they wont go to the ground and some attachments will scrub against my tires.
2) The loader doesn't have anything that allows me to lock it in an up position. It's impossible to do any real work on the engine when the loader is down .
3) The toobox is low to the ground and uses plastic latches. It no longer latches so I dont keep anything in there. That went out after about 3 months.
I dont know how the competitors do for this though.
There are some solutions here. For #1, adding a 3pt quick hitch can effectively lengthen the arms some. #2... use angle iron, we do it for every trade show. #3.. yea, the plastic toolboxes are cheap.

The pto hp is 49 hp on the 55 model. Look at tractor data or go put it on a dealer dyno.
I really appreciate your in depth comparison of these two tractors. I am currently doing a pre-purchase research on tractors and your videos are certainly needed. I wish more tractor dealers we're as upfront and honest as you appear to be. I'll be buying a compact utility tractor in the 45 to 55 horsepower range, in which I'll be using to clear my 10 acres....and farming it. We have a small goat farm and are in desperate need of a fel with PTO. I'm on a very fixed income, so I'm only buying one tractor...and plan on using it until the Good Lord takes me home! In your professional opinion, would you recommend a Kubota? It'll be used for maintaining a 10 acres hay field as well as a 4 acre garden. Jobs will be plowing, discing, mowing, moving about 6 rolls of hay (1100 lbs each) per month, and frequently moving loads of soil. It's sandy here in NW Florida, so 4wd is a necessity. Could you please recommend a tractor or two that'll work for my needs?
Thank you so much for your informative videos, you provide us with a lot of info that our local dealers won't tell you. I hope you have a wonderful day, thank you again and God bless you all!
Sincerely,
Don Miller

We sell Case, New Holland and Kubota. If you're looking for something is going to be nice and comfortable to operate, the MX series from Kubota is a really good option. If you can give up some Creature Comforts to save a little bit of money New Holland's work-master series will come in at a lower price point. It will lack some Creature Comforts. Your acreage is on the low side for a 40-50 horsepower tractor, but it sounds like from your tasks that's probably where you should be.
Messick Farm Equipment thank you so much for your response. I will look into the New Holland tractors, we have a dealership about 45 minutes away. Thank you very much for the input, it is greatly appreciated. I hope you have a great evening! God bless you and yours!

I do own a 2018 b2320 and like it very much, I enjoy watching your videos. Great job man
Thanks Neil for the video. As a novice I find it hard to try to compare tractors, even of the same brand. If i'm thinking about a 50 hp how different Kubotas meet that need, and without a side by side to look at how do I tell the physical size of the different models. Much less trying to compare one brand to another. Going to a dealer to look is not as easy as it sounds, for example the Kubota dealer that is suppose to be number one in my state do not have much for inventory other that big row crop machines, same with Massey, but I guess you stock what sells in your area.
No substitute for finding a dealer and getting in the seat.
I agree with everything he said, but that Deere sure looks good
How long has Deere been made in india ?????? Good video , very informative.
Bobby John they are saying that to male them look bad there is only select ones made there
The important take away is that all of the major brands are global. India just happens to be where a lot of utility size tractors are made, and not just deere and mahindra, either. Others are made in Germany (JD 6 family, for instance); England; Mexico, etc. India has a very large steel industry and a massive labor pool- and a lot less regulatory and tax bs than we do. Pretty sad when it's cheaper to build something on the other side of the world and import it than it is to make it here, ain't it?
I believe they've always had many of their lower end models and compact, sub-compact tractors always have been made in India, and mostly due to cost savings, although not passed onto the consumer. When you get into the large utility and agricultural tractors I believe they're made here in the US.
Some of the India tractors aren't bad, just have to be careful when it comes to parts is what I've heard and found out...sometimes you get supply issues for parts. Mahindra's aren't too bad, they're mostly Mitsubishi made though so there's a bit better parts availability with them. I think John Deere's India made models have pretty good parts supplies here in the US, Mahindra seems hit and miss at times.
I really think it all comes down to what color your want, over where they're made, just like cars, there are thousands of different models, colors, options, etc. You have to pick what works for you. I'm going with a Kubota due to prior experience and seeing an old neighbor running his on our property several times for us and never had a single problem in all the years he had his BX and the many years he had his B which was auctioned off after his death 2 years ago and the dang thing still looked brand new after 15 years. His BX he only had for 7 years and was sold to a local rental company for what he originally paid for it, I was surprised figured it would have decreased quite a bit in value, but I think that has a lot to do with how well a machine is cared for and the amount of hours and options on it.
Neil, it's ok! John Deere constantly compares the dumbest things to smaller tractors. It's ok to push back when your right.
what were the bars across the tractors bucket
If the difference in the class of tractors doesn't say it all, look at the difference in price!!!! John Deere embarrassed themselves with that video
I laughed when I saw John Deere coming a5055 to a mx5200 thank you for pointing this out
I love this video. Thank you for making this. John Deere is not as great as everyone thinks
what is that on the jd bucket?
+Steve Jones special containment for loaded demos
That loader coupler is NOT proprietary. It’s an Alo/Euro loader quick attach. It’s found on many different brands, with Case/New Holland being no exemption
Though the locking mechanism for the pins is John Deere. I prefer the CaseIH (Quicke) style of locking system myself.
I was trying to find a side by side comparison of lift ...range of bucket motion for 50hp kubota vs other brands...your exposed drive shaft was really a shock to me.....I take my kubota thru brush like a dozer..!
I'm only afraid to shear an oil drain plug....
This may be a silly question. What is the purpose of the grate over the bucket?ive seen several in your videos tho Ive never seen that in my part of the country.
I think in another comment he mentioned its for demos to contain a load in the bucket.
yes you do see them in the same shot at 1:32-1:35
Japanese build everything better, hands down.
Well done, more people need to tell the truth about John Deere, they have been living on the name far too long, go back to the 70-80's they were pretty good but like every other company the $$ take first line, don't get me wrong, I have an older JD 2035 highcrop made in mid 70's and it still runs fine, used almost daily but the newer equivalent will not be arround in 40 years time.
over here in holland al loaders use ah quick coupler that named europ coupler every loader tractor from 10hp up to 300 hp use that style coupler
I really liked the video. But you where a little hard on John Deere. Kubota does the same thing with their videos.
+Jo Randar Holmøy fyi . Kubota has not really done competitive videos. It's not really in their culture.
@@MessicksEquip isn't that a bit of a half truth? ruclips.net/video/Mmyrilpn22s/видео.html PS love your videos, just trying to keep it real!
Yea, I should have said not many. Gotta say though, what Kubota did do there is very objective stuff with no smoke and mirrors. These videos get into the weeds pretty quick.
John Deere and Kubota are the best. Nothing comes close in the compact tractor world.
For the price John Deere is the worst
That half true.
The skid steer QA is an option on the h240 loader...
The H240 loader IS a John Deere product... Although it might not be offered on some of the cheapest loaders. It IS offered on most of them, though.
Loader hitch is euro hitch, more common in rest of the world, skid steer attachments are rare here, JD did a not so good job on the locking mechanism, other brands including Kubota offer this hitch with a Better latch
Thanks for the video. I have a question we have a JD 5055D. What is the difference in the 5055D and 5055E?
+Georgia Swampman 2wd version.
Messick Farm Equipment I go for John Deere
Cause I know John Deere
The D series is older. They've replaced it with the E series. Don't know what differences there might be. You could try looking them both up on Tractor Data.com.
I'm not denying that, I own a Kubota Quick connects!!!
Both brands are good I only buy kubota and deere
Truer facts have never been said
that quickcopler is european one and not john deeres smaller tractors have jds but that is euro one that is common in europe
will do thanks
Isnt the kubota built in Japan and "assembled" in GA north of Atlanta?
Many models are. this is not one of them
@@MessicksEquip I thought the Kubota was a great tractor because of the Japanese quality though? Even if some are assembled in the US now, they still have the same reliability and quality they've always had from Japan right?
Generally yes.
whats with the bars across the bucket on the deere? whats that for?
there are training tractors. it hold a test load in place.
@@MessicksEquip ohh cool
Great video Neil! Great approach to compare! Try some weight lifting to work out your arms and shoulders! ☺
LOL, or just keep switching attachments for your workout!
I have to be totally honest here. I like the color of a J Deere Just something about the green and yellow that pops. LOL
The PTO HP on John Deere is 41, you are stating the 5045 ratings. Please research better.
This video was made in 2017. The information was factual for the 5055e in that model year. In later years they made some changes the PTO HP has improved.
The 5055e is about 45pto, the 5045e is 37pto
looks like ordinary euro 8 brackets on the bucket. not specific to JD
What if you want an antique tractor?
Then buy one.
The headstock on the John deere is not a john deere specific thing? It's a European standard head stock and your able to spec any kind of headstock you want
The pin also shouldn't drop out? There should be a bolt
your absolutely right, its a Euro coupler. We're not used to seeing those on American tractors until we get up to 3000lb of lift or so.
Oh there pretty much a standard fitting over here PS.. Big fan and great videos any chance of a free t shirt
Talk down a competitor... like the frontier video you just made?
That was talking down the industry!
I work for kubota 😂 we are so much better
I use to hate kubota bot I did research and love them
Kubota for the win. Heh
Why do we not hear you comparing or talking about a New Holland? In my area of east Texas the JD dealer does not honor warranties. You have to twist the arm of the Kubota dealer to show you a tractor that is smaller then 40hp. The only dealer that has a good reputation is the New Holland.
I think Messicks will not do comparison videos between Kubota and New Holland as they sell both brands. It would be difficult to say one is not as good as the other when selling both.
Not very balanced but he is a Kubota dealer I guess
Have you seen John Deere's version of this video? I think he tried to be as balanced as he could, which is more than I can say for their video. Their video is a joke. Certainly all dealers are going to be more experienced with the positives of their brand... and probably have some preference toward those positives even if it is subconscious. I think he tried hard to be balanced.
forget both those tractors get a 2150 2350 2550 2750 tractor. older but built to last and plenty of nice units around
Audio is too low
I wish all you guys would let you tractor sell itself. Damn tractors are nearly the same when apples to apples are compared. Biggest downfall to kubota is not the equipment but the service in and near Franklin county va is damn terrible. Deere has 2 times the service centers per sq mile at least where I'm located. So to be perfectly far be perfectly fair.
The only DEERE I would own is a row crop tractor, The rest are over priced junk!
This isn't a comparison.
Really?
Not to mention that Deere is UGLY!
Definitely looks like its straight out of India.
Great video Neil! The green weenies will a big pout on now, lol.
109 Deere fans disliked this vid. Even though it is fair and exposes JD's f#@kerey. While not committing much fu@kerey of their own nice!
you might want to learn to read as it is 38 PTO Kw 52 PTO hp so losses very little
No sir. 57 Engine, 38.9 PTO.
Advertised PTO hp (kW) @ Rated rpm29 @ 2100 (OOS) per SAE kW38.9 @ 2100 (OOS) per SAE PTO hpOfficial PTO hp (kW) @ Rated rpm---@ Standard PTO @ Eng rpm---Maximum @ Eng rpm---Advertised Engine hp (kW) @ Rated speed42 @ 2100 kW57 @ 2100 engine hp
That did not paste right. In HP (not KW), from the spec sheet on the 2015 5505e, its 38.9 PTO HP, and 57 Engine HP.
You barely even talked about the kubota.
we have a lot of other videos that go into a lot of depth on that tractor.
+Michael Aversa we have many videos that go into depth.
It’s better.
I agree... a little more time pointing out some Kubota positives would be worthwhile. One thing I thought could've been pointed out that wasn't was that JD's approach to protecting the drive linkages is lost in reverse. Due to shielding, Kubota protects the linkages in forward and rev. No shielding on the JD, so totally exposed from the rear. Although on this particular model it is up high.
The reason why John Deere went that route of a quick connect is because if you don't have an attachment on the front and you drive-in it auto locks. You don't need to get off the tractor again!!!!
Jayson Zimmerman so its great for lazy people with only John Deere attachments
Crushed 1126, I may be wrong but a cursory look at the quick coupler looks like the "euro" or "alo" coupler which is probably the most popular coupler for larger loaders of all brands. When it comes to tractors, I actually prefer euro over the skidsteer (bobtach). Sure attachments are more plentiful and probably cheaper with the bobtach, but the major weakness of the bobtach is that Bobcat developed it with skid steers in mind. They are quite easy to use when the attachment is directly in front of you, where you can see it. On a tractor, this is a different story. Euro seems to me to make it easier to "feel" for your attachment and allow for a greater margin of error when attaching implements to your loader.
@@crushed1126 I disagree... this is a great feature. Not enough for me to give up my skidsteer attach that has more available attachments... but a great feature. It makes sense too. When you couple up a skid steer, the levers are "right there in front of you", but on a tractor it is a bit more work to latch it in.
do one comparing a mahindra.
+J j601 we did. Check our channel
He says that he doesn’t like to talk down competition equipment but that’s all he did in the video
Did we watch the same video?
The deere loader coupler i a standard for larger buckets and other implements
You just like kubota
the 5055e shows 45 pto horsepower on tractordata.com? www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/005/7/9/5791-john-deere-5055e.html
The screen shot I showed there was from Deere's website. Tractor Data is filled with inaccuracies and typo's. It could be that, it could be that Deere had another variant not listed on Tractor Data.
Looks like all you did was talk down the competion
Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's all anybody does. Talk theirs up and the others down.
I disagree. Any comparison is going to have at least part that is negative about the competition. Much about this video was pointing out half-truths from the JD video... which is talking down the video, not the competition.
Awesomely good videos, Messick ........
-If you give me your e-mail ... I'll give the details of a hilarious 'range war' 'tween JD and MF on the Canada prairies .....
Should be a movie .......
CS
You left out the part that the Kubota M6660 is 13,000$ more expensive then the JD5055e maybe that’s why they compare the mx5200 is price not size
Anytime you see a pricing issue like this, assume your looking at something wrong. Kubota's MSRP on the M6060 is $33,600. The Deere 5055e $33,900 for 4WD, hydraulic shuttle, etc. The Deere build and price tool defaults to the most stripped down version. Even at this, we're still comparing a machine from Kubota's deluxe line of tractors, to Deere's cheap Indian import tractor.
Only a little bit more honest?
+Kevin Javorsky care to raise an issue with anything said?
Yikes
All 1 through 5 series John Deere tractors are made in Augusta Georgia first and foremost and I could go on and on contradicting a lot of what you say in this video, yet you accuse John Deere of being untruthful or deceptive. You might want to update YOUR deceptive video that your are pushing on the uniformed general public Neil.
Then go on and on?
The truth is right on the spec sheets on Deere's website where is says where the tractors are made! The 5E series are made in India. They would bolt the tires on stateside, but the tractors country of origin is India. I personally don't have a problem with this. These are large global brands, what irks me is the public persona of some all American company when that's hardly the truth.
I was looking at the 5055 and the m5660 went with the m5660 thought it was a better tractor and 5k cheaper
I suggest you go look at the actual video posted by John Deere titled 'John Deere 5E Series vs. Kubota MX'. Watch the guy act like he's trying to turn the steering wheel with a load on the loader, if that's not deceptive then I know nothing because that's an outright hoax. My son owns a JD 5065M and a Kubota MX5100, both are fine tractors when used what they were designed for but they are clearly not in the same class. I suspect you bleed JD green like some of our friends.
Dude I literally work for deere and they are deceptive as FUCK. The 5000 series tractors are dam good machines tho, I don't know how they match up against the Kubota but I really like the transmission in those Deere's as well. The shuttle shift is awesome as well.
Federico Lamas no they are assembled in augusta
John Deere is US
Only the real farm tractors are mostly USA. All utility tractors are foreign. Including Kubota, but as far as I know, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, the Kubota is the most American made out of all brands for smaller tractors.
+John Cooper yea, kubota actually builds their smaller equipment here. BX for example is built at KMA in Georgia, while Deere imports and assembles the 1-series.
Well, they are assembled there. They get painted and most impliments are done in Georgia as well if I'm not mistaken. I'm actually going to West Virginia to purchase my mx5200hst on Friday. That is unless you can give me a sweeter package deal.
+John Cooper email details to sales@messicks.com
How is JD US? Let me give you a true example. My son owns a JD 5065M assembled in GA. The engine is made in Mexico says so right on the tag, the Transmission is made China according to a JD Tech, the Hydraulic system is from Brazil as is marked on the tags and the front axle is made in India, it's marked. I'm not saying a bad tractor because it's not, take a look at some of his videos on our YT channel. The only thing marked on the tractor as made in the US is the the Grammar seat and the cab.
Better luck next time...
Liar
