I have been looking at getting a small tractor for my farm. I was looking over a JD770 the other day and noticed two serial plates that had "Manufactured by Yanmar diesel" stamped on them. Does this mean that a yanmar is as good a tractor as JD? What is the difference besides cosmetics? Thanks for any info.

The Jd is built by Yanmar to JD specs. Some say the Yanmar is better. All the major companies' compact tractors are made by Japanese companies. ....

Well I like the JD I have a JD650. its also made by Yanmar, but it did not come in JD green as a Yanmar Tractor, so I bought the JD version and I am much happier for it. Imangine the thrill of telling your neighbors you have a JOHN DEERE TRACTOR instead of a sissy Yanmar. Not to mention that JD has a lot more goodies to buy, like JD hats, shoes, gloves, blankets, and even underware. what does Yanmar have to offer....nothing. Not to mention Yanmar sounds kinda Girlie...:) all in jest... except for the John Deere part. ....

Just a note:
The older New Holland/ Ford 1000/1010/1020 series tractors were made in Japan.
The Boomers are made in Dublin Georgia, USA.
see http://www.newholland.com/na/Products/boomer.html
New Holland made a big deal of it a few years back when they moved manufacturing to the US. The address below is copied from the New Holland web site.

I think the correct word would be assembled in Georgia from components manufactured in Japan & elsewhere. ....
