We have a German “work away” here at the moment. To my surprise he said Deere’s are not made in Germany any more.
Mmmmm... I think he might be mistaken there, it would be interesting to know why he believes that though?
German/EU propaganda probably...
Now, you wouldn't be paranoid would you?
Do they make anything other than the 6 series in Germany?Not at all. John Deere make a lot of the fact that they produce tractors in Germany and they have invested heavily in the factory, so I was surprised to hear this sort of rumour and wondered what was behind it.

Defo a brilliant factory trip. I did it in 1984 as part of a continental trip with a few mates. Had an excellent guide who started at the end by showing us the tractors leaving the production line and lining up outside.I was amazed going g round the Manheim factory 40 years ago at the level of automation then, and they were then producing 40 series tractor, Think 1140 up to 4040 alongside 30 series tractors for export to the the states and Canada. They said the smaller American farmers would not pay for the sophistication fitted to the 40 series. The workers on the line, just fitted the part that was delivered to them, as the tractor rolled along.

Then got onto a small transport buggy and drove around several buildings etc to a railway siding. He stopped a little way off , looked at his watch , gave us some facts on the factory for a few mins , checked his watch again and drove on. As he slowed near the end of the siding a train pulled in that looked to be pulling a load of stones. It dissappeared into a building.
" Now , he announced l will show you
the bit in the middle where we first make the steel then the components and then the assembly."
Workers in the foundry were supplied with slabs of beer as the conditions were fairly tough going.
A memorable and educational tour.
One wonders how much foreign machinery from the UK has been sold here over the last 150 years?Yes, UK service is pish poor, but then they're spoilt by UK farmers throwing their sub money at them. They don't need to do any work to sell stuff.
I wonder if those on here that applaud buying cheap machinery from Polandshire feel the same about consumers buying cheap beef / lamb / grain from abroad ?
