Yes. The government that maintains the National cemeteries sold this country out long ago to China.
The fact that the fleet manager for that area decided to actually spend gov money on quality equipment should be thanked. John Deer and Caterpillar arent all American anymore and they aren't what they used to be. |

Go try to buy an American made lawnmower. Lots of John Deere tractors are made in China. They only make the really big agricultural stuff in the USA.
That is the way it is, and I encourage you to visit Japan. It is a fantastic country. |

Kubota was founded in 1890 and started producing tractors in 1947.
Interesting story my dental hygienist is an American citizen with a Japanese mother and a father that was an American servicemen. I've known her for 25 years and she has traveled to Japan but didn't visit the war memorial in Japan because in her words. "They deserved it " |

That is the way it is, and I encourage you to visit Japan. It is a fantastic country. Japan is 100% on my bucket list to visit. I want a fresh Wagyu steak at an authentic restaurant and of course SUSHI!!! The whole idea that Japan still hasn't redeemed themselves for WW2 by now is absurd. We fought, we won. It was a tough war and we had to nuke them twice. But they fought ferociously for their emperor and their empire and there's honor in that. Its too bad that all that strife was because Hirohito was easily influenced by Tojo and the Military. After we nuked them into peace, they accepted our help rebuilding and have become a profound ally. I would have rather we not fucked them in the 80s. While I own a Toyota with a VIN starting with J, the American made Toyota's still exceed industry standard quality. And when they DO have issues, Toyota makes it right. Call me a fan boy, don't care. Japan is legit. |
