It's not so much the country they're built in, so much as the quality controll of the maker. I'll bet if you had a Chinese made JD next to a Korean made Branson, and tore them down, you would see ALOT higher quality components, and construction went into the DEERE. Branson isn't trying to compete with Deere on QUALITY they are competing on PRICE. That's why I said for my MONEY, I'd find a used tractor of another brand. And don't start to think I bleed Deere green. I don't. My shed is full of OLD, RED tractors. I also said that the power train of the Branson was decent. yea, Cummins let them brand their name on the engine, haven't you seen any other big name manufacturer lisence their name out to another company to make a few bucks?? The shifting is poor at best. The levers for the Hyd remotes and shift levers are not limited in their travel sufficiently to keep them from hitting the plastic "dash" panel. It's got several breaks in it already. This tractoe is NOT abused. Just used. I used my friends 55hp for a couple days last fall prepping my yard to re-plant. Leaked about 2 GALLONS of hy-trans during those two days. From a tractor with less than 400 hours. That's not the first problem he's had with it. Yea, it's got a warranty, but a tractor is pretty worthless if it's sitting in the dealers shop instead of your field. If you are willing to accept those kindof issues, fine. I would expect more from a new tractor.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
