Interesting that they used a picture of riding mowers rather than a million dollar gps guided monster which is what soybean farmers would be using.

John Deere makes more products for the homeowner than the farmer these days so I don’t see how JD’s sales numbers can be a bellwether anymore.

Are their riding mowers made in the USA?

Those are made by MTD which makes most of the small garden tractors in this country. Intermediate sizes are American, German, or Japanese. The big stuff is almost all made in Moline Illinois, about 30 miles north of here. Deere is one of the major religions in this area. It’s a lifestyle thing like Harleys right down to tattoos.

Most of the JD mowers are made here in WI. (Horicon?)
I’ve got a 1969 110, and a 1984 318. Both still going strong.
