Cleber Tractors is building a tractor plant in Cuba.
USA Today reported:

The Obama administration approved the first U.S. factory to be built and operated in Cuba in more than 50 years, in the latest sign of the rapidly changing relationship between the United States and the communist nation.

Co-founder Saul Berenthal said the company’s attorney was in Havana on Monday to start the lengthy process of finalizing the agreement with the Cuban government and hopes to start production by early 2017.

These are tractors for a small market for sale in Cuba, not tractors that are normally sold and built in the US.

No market for tractors in Cuba. Have plenty of oxes.

Being a farmer myself that looks like your typical commie POS tractor, void of any safety features advanced technology and suffers from poor power to weight ratio and sucky fuel economy.

After the facility is built and up and running, how long will it take Cuba to “nationalize” the company...Remove all US ownership and sell to socialist countries around the world?

Well, when they reach the end of their useful life, there’s oxtail soup...I guess it’s a bit more palatable than horse.

But given the state of that country, I’m sure they wouldn’t turn down horse either.

Typical Bay Area Commies.

They **ripped off** another company for the design - and have the balls to use the other companies tractor in the films pimping the Cuban factory. Grraaahhh.
