I feel strongly about that! Mahindra makes a GREAT Tractor, and not every one can afford a John Deere, not when a Mahindra is 1/2 the price.


Bob~!

Maybe you didn't read all my posts Bob. My attitude has nothing to do substandard items or pressure to buy American.

I have nothing against Mahindra. Maybe you missed that.

My initial comment had to do with Mustang1989. He said that it doesn't matter where things come from as long as they are made right and under the right conditions. I think that's false. It does matter where things come from.

I just didn't say one way or the other what countries it matter from.

What I want to get across is that location matters. I didn't say buy American did I? I also said that the free market has many advantages. One of them being promoting competition to build better products.

Only an Admin can move it at this point. I'll PM Alan to move the commentary to its own thread.

All the drama aside, lots of people by vehicles on looks alone and it's kinda strange looking...
