it seems that buying foreign made John Deere products is just another way to approve of losing thousands of American jobs, of helping skew America's balance of trade.
Sam,
According to my local JD dealer, John Deere has been importing the running gear and some complete tractors from Germany for over forty years for some of it's tractor line because they couldn't keep up with the demand here for the mid-class tractors and the German factory had the capacity, so it was a win-win for them and the consumers here.
Personally, I'm an orange paint kinda guy.
