I hold 27 million dollars in JD equipment and we track every gallon of fuel/government juice that goes into these machines. I track every repair cost and type. I track every minute these machines are down because of a sensor has glitched or failed. What I have noticed is that my down time because of computer problems and sensors is up over 41% from 8 years ago. My major repairs, broken axel, destroyed transmission, engine issues is up over 32% over 8 years. John Deere in my opinion is no longer worth the sticker price for new equipment. I have started purchasing other colors and am happy to report that they just cultivated 22k acres with no mechanical problems. It is sad to watch an American Icon be destroyed by corporate greed. John Deere is definitely rolling over in his grave.

You apparently don't know how tariffs work.

As a former John deere employee. I worked at both at Harvester in East moline and dubuque iowa. From the time I hired in in 2008 till 2017 when I left they outsourced so much work to Mexico and when it would come back to get installed on combines there were so many issues that we would have to fix. A vast majority of welding jobs were shipped to Mexico and no work was brought in to replace the work we lost. Also the pay of $52 and hour is way off. Even with bonuses, profit sharing and working a ton of overtime no one hired after 1997 is making that money. I'm not sure what they got with the new contract they got but it's no where near $50 and hour. It's right around $30 or so. I hope all the jobs they moved to Mexico over the years gets brought back and they can bring back all the people that they laid off.

The whole corporate model is designed wrong, CEOs are incentivized to maximize profits no matter what to keep their shareholders happy and just like anything it's only a matter of time until this process trickles down to the American worker.

Just some things up there is a fine line between technology greed and maximizing profits.

Labor costs are over 12 times higher in the US, that is unsustainable. We need to maintain equipment manufacturing in the US to be self reliant on one hand, but no company can compete with those margins. We could always put tariffs on other countries products to make us more competitive but that basically shifts the cost to Farmers which in exchange would trickle down to we the food consumers at the grocery stores. So we may need to look closer at why we need to pay an assembly line workers that much to make this product, maybe automation needs to be increased. Maybe both the workers and especially management need to have their pay scales tied more directly to sales volumes to be more competitive with their competition. I love the idea of making and buying American as a patriot but companies also need to answer to their shareholders or no one will buy their stock and they will go bankrupt. I'm afraid the average US worker may need to take a reasonable pay cut and therefore life style reduction to be more in alignment with the rest of the world or realize we can no longer manufacture stuff any longer here in the US, because we all want stuff made in the US but we're not willing to pay more for it is the bottom line.

Lmao..

Then use the housing for rentals along with all the apartment buildings they buy and are proven slumlords.. Then say housing is scarce through corporate media, which their buddies in real estate corporations have helped because they stall on building housing so pricing for them skyrocket. A two-bedroom in the surrounding areas and where I live range from $1800 to $2,400. But you don't think wagers should go up to keep up with that? So then when there's more homeless you can call everybody lazy and say they don't want to work. When in reality they are working but they still can't afford housing..okay. John Deere made about 10 billion in profit. But that isn't enough for their CEOs and shareholders? They want more. How much is enough? Well damn it's great that they can go to another country and only pay them $4 an hour with no health insurance, then sell us crap equipment that we can't even fix ourselves. Farmers can't fix their own equipment that they went in debt to pay for. And that's something that's already put into play.Hhmm... What does it sound like to you?

It is time that we punish these companies that want to leave the United States.

[@William-Bill-Munny]

Thank the employee retention costs that forced American companies to look elsewhere.

America First

[@dairyair5371]

AGCO wants a bigger share of the North American market so this should make it easier for them.

[@johnwilt367]

Case Ih makes great equipment

[@markogrundman6147]

Cnh is mostly made overseas , only t8s are made here

[@scottstirling8047]

​@markogrundman6147 the T8, T9, Steiger and magnum, harvesters, balers, other equipment, various earthmoving equipment are all still made the US.

[@kobespencer5922]

Case IH is moving some production to Mexico also. But nowhere near Deere's.

[@markk4042]

YES!!! AND THE ARTICULATED TRACK HAS "BETTER" CONTROL AND TURNING!!!!

[@markogrundman6147]

Cnh is a foreign company ,

[@Unrivaledanime]

Being a publicly traded company it makes decisions based on stock price for it’s shareholders and thats a big concern for made in America profits over people this is why the CEO has such a salary I agree with the idea of high Tariffs against an American company who is willing to put Americans out of work for its shareholders

[@joshuarenner202]

my grandpa started a john deere sales dealership, was the only one in the area. my uncle took over the business, had just started a 4th building in a different county, then cov hit, and the largest farm in the area decided not to use john deere equipment due to high prices. just last year, john deere came in and strong-armed him into selling the small shop to a larger retailer to "cut costs" of shipping. now he's back to the original store, and its a hardware store, with a non-compete clause signed so they can't sell farm equipment.

[@mikehopkins7384]

Not a defense for Deer, but I can’t help but think along with cheaper labor they are also moving for more relaxed epa and manufacturing regulations in Mexico

[@Nephi2006]

There are other tractor brands out there.

[@charlesmurphy1510]

Most if not all executives are stockholders or family members. Executives are given stock options.

[@waynecory6101]

This is the same problem the auto industry had in the 1980s when they moved production to Canada and Mexico because the American workers wages far outseated they're worth.

[@jeffmercer9655]

I don't care who it is they should go out of business in a United States if they were built here and abandoned us for cheaper labor should have a 500 percent tariff on anything they import into the United States which means none of it will be coming

[@marklucas6114]

It’s time we have one hundred percent employee ownership of all companies and businesses. We cannot allow billionaires, greedy corporations and corporations to control everything in our lives.

[@TanyaGlenn-v7v]

I boycott Deere until they make it in America again!

[@righteyeartistry156]

Same should go for Levi Strauss. Move production out of America and quality goes to he!! While the prices keep going up.

[@orlyt274]

Mark Cuban also admitted he relies on an illegal workforce to upkeep his hotels (and of course he under pays them). This man should be in jail!!! Looks like Mark is the insane one.😂😂😂

[@charleslloyd4253]

Everyone is putting all the blame on the CEO. But bill gates bought sufficient stock to have a say so in how the company is run. The move of production does not irk farmers as much as everything on equipment is now tied to a computer. If something goes wrong and you can replace the part. The computer keeps the part from working with a error code. And you have to pay a JD technician hundreds of dollars for a road trip. To come out and reset the computer. If you replace a sensor that is easy to replace. It could still cost you a thousand dollars or teo. To put your equipment in use. Sure farmers do not like their hard earned dollars going to hostile nations. But being ripped of in your own back yard. Is the most irritating. Thanks to Bill Gates.

[@justincase1575]

Gates needs to go away or be put away!

[@coco9004]

90% of the farmers in Canada, USA and South America are using JOHN DEERS MACHINE. this owner is an a hole to treath customers like that

[@rge2410]

Deere hasn’t been the same since the turn of the century.

[@BuckWatson-p8v]

Deere initiated DOT( Dealer Of Tomorrow) in 2000 which not only screwed dealerships but Parts Managers too

[@johnholmes3584]

Greed will be their down fall. Clearly they are blind to this.

[@PrimoGIU]

Screw globalization! Then understand that the ramifications of Deere leaving the US, along with their "anti-customer" repair policies, are far worse than the necessary pain to force them to return to their historical position as a "partner" with farmers. Repairing our Constitutional Republic will be painful, but well worth it!

[@user-rb3pk2bx7f]

John Deere has not learned from Boeing's greed.

[@dn744]

If they are a true American company they wouldn't even think of this. But, its about $$$$ over name and quality will fall 😢

[@eldentiangha]

Everybody thinks about money the consumer the employee the company owners....

[@timseles3044]

Here's the problem. They're saying big wage difference paying people in America in Mexico. But the product doesn't go anywhere in price. If in fact? It goes up in price. This has been going on for the last 20 years. And this needs to stop Prime example are car industry..

[@johnculbert1545]

Scrap the Deere Johns and buy a classy Massey

[@AmericanCaver]

John Deere is tarnished and will never be the same.

[@mattphillips4260]

what will happen farmers will tell deerer to go get screwed and buy from companies that build their stuff here in the states and also let farmers buy software that lets them work on the stuff they buy

[@michaeleich2187]

Hell, most of the smaller equipment the other companies sell is imported too. Regarding the union, any farmer that is a member of any co-op, electric, dairy, farm supply (MFA) in Missouri is doing the same thing as a union member in a factory.

[@ewillson4953]

Elon musk can do it

[@JaKrispie]

The new CEO has no clue what he is doing

[@johnsmith1424]

K.U.B.O.T.A Equipment is #1

[@reginaldmolehusband4330]

Has Bill Gates been having any meetings with Deere lately?

[@jamesedmond3351]

Only in the bedroom.

[@darenholzinger4587]

John Deere bought a lot of shares back, and I kinda heard it was so that Bill Gates could buy those shares
