Si Se Puede!
It’s not just China and Mexico that are taking US jobs… Now, thanks to Barack Obama, Cuba will be building American tractors.

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.

Cleber LLC, an Alabama-based company that builds tractors for small farms, was notified by the Treasury Department that it could open a facility in Cuba. 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.

They’ll wait until the factory is completed and all the tools, dies, parts, etc. are in place.

So, did all those tractors we sent them in 1964 to get the Bay of Pigs hostages freed finally wear out?

The news back then said “tractors”. Later I found they were more like bulldozers.

I’ll be so glad when he’s out of office. The Obama Administration may be the most destructive to its own country in American history.

Or as Joe Bob Boucher once told me at a kaolin mine in south Georgia, “that thing won’t pull a wet noodle out of a duck’s @ss”

Are the tractors going to be circa 1955 like the newest cars in Cuba?

“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?”

The tractor company from Alabama is assuming that risk on their own free will.

No kidding. That appears to be about an 80 year old design (which means, among other things there would be no market for it in this countryand the patents have all expired) This Cleber fella is free to try and manufacture the thing. But why would someone want a Cuban reproduction of a 1930’s American tractor when, for less money, they could buy a much more modern real thing?

A community organizer opening a tractor factory in the glorious Marxist paradise of Cuba.

Sounds like a scene from a left wing college stage production from the 60’s.

Nope, they are copies of the 1948 Allis-Chalmers model G.
