I don't think John Deere has made their own lawn tractors for quite a while. I am still mowing with a model 318.
John Deere makes all of its own small lawn tractors still. They just outsource the engine, transmission, etc and use thinner frames with less features to keep costs down in basic models.

Universal tariffs don’t work and are counterproductive. This isn’t a point of contention among non-partisan economists.

Yup, they not only failed work as advertised, but ended up hurting both businesses and consumers.
Tariffs and Chinese retaliation to them hurt American farmers so badly that they had to go on the government dole to the tune of billions of tax dollars. The Trump tariffs accomplished nothing for America.

Why in the world has Biden Harris administration done this? It’s almost like it doesn’t matter who you are for!

Everything is cheaper in general. The quality is way different than what we’ve seen in the past.

Still mowing with a 1980's model 318 with the only maintenance being a couple mower belts, a front tire, and a blade shaft bearing and changing oil and filters. Lets see those new John Deere lawn tractors still working after 40 years.

Agree with you on this one. The new models are probably gonna be a ten year max mower.

News flash farmers have been on the dole for many years in the form of subsidies
