The public wants lower costs on goods and I don't know about you guys, but I am not volunteering for a pay cut and I sure as hell don't see UAW offering up lower wages. There are taking the country and winning the metaphorical war without ever firing a shot. Point is that no matter how much we dislike it, China goods are infiltrating our market more and more every day. The Chevrolet Equinox has an engine built by Shanghai Automotive and Chrysler inked a deal with Chery Auto to supply a sub-compact and several small engine products like lawn mowers, weed trimmers, etc. I might need to refer to my elementary school history book, but wasn't it the Japanese who attacked Pearl Harbor or are you just referring the the Yanmar engines.ĭont get me wrong, I am not pro-China in regards to any product but I also have to disagree with Camoman, there are several Chinese automotive products/engines in service in the US. I have 2 deere compact 4x4 tractors with yanmars, great engines, but it feels like you are rewarding the country that brought us pearl harbor. Trust me I had to overcome that same gut feeling about buying a deere with a china mill. My beef is with people buying Chinese products when there is a better quality American option available. If that is the machine you want, you have no other choice. Please understand, I don't fault anyone for buying a new gator with a Chinese engine. To those of you with the new 825i Gators, I wish you the best of luck, and hope that you got the quality that you paid your hard earned money for. I will continue to buy Deere products, I think that they are generally the best built and designed products you can buy. Now it doesn't even matter if it's cheap! When are we going to put our foot down and say ENOUGH!? For those people that say "It doesn't matter to me that it is made in china", you are part of the problem, not the solution. We as consumers have told these companies with our money that "made in china" is ok, as long as it is cheap. They are giving the consumer what they want. I am not slamming Deere, or any other company for that matter. Now this part was originally cast in the USA back when the planter was made, so why is it made in china now? I think we all know the answer to that. It lasted for one season and started to fail. ![]() The new part had cast into it: Made in China. A 5th grader could have compared the clutches and been able to tell that the original was a better quality part. For example, I had to replace the clutch assembly on my planter. They are substandard in quality, in fit, craftsmanship, and durability. I buy replacement parts for my Deere equipment, and I find that a lot of them are now made in china. However, with that being said, I am becoming very frustrated with the influx of chinese goods into this country. I bleed green and pee yellow, so to speak. I have operated Deere equipment since I was big enough to push in the clutch on a 4020. ![]() I am a farmer, have been for a long time. I guess I will add some of my frustrations here. The Japanese lost their contract with John deere gator 825i simply because they will not match the price of chinese. That if your new car fail within a time frame, then the car dealer must give you a NEW AUTO AND THATS THE LAW! Thats why car dealer are very cautious, since they can lose a lot of money if they have to replace a new car often.Īlthough many complaints have already been reported in china that their engines or the major components had failed in less then 5 years or less! I have just recently found this out myself and I must say that I am VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH JOHN DEERE! That they went with china instead of the japanese simply because they were the lowest bidders. And if you think about it we don't have chinese auto in the united states Its because they could not meet the US standards. Simply because of potential quality issues and in fear of ruin their reputations in the long run. Even though chery auto outbids many companys in making an engine for far far less! NONE USA EVER CONSIDER THEM. It's call cost and effective! Chery hill motor wanted to bring their CARS in the usa for a long time now, but was rejected by many automakers,corporations,etc! The rejection was due to many complaints of deficency in theIr components and could not meet the US standard and regulations.Īlthough Chery hill Auto had been making automobile and engines for many years in china, but lack of quality. The FACT that John deere moved to chery hill in china was simply to save every penny they can.
