What excavator's are made right here in America? All heavy equipment really? Would much rather support the american worker
The Komatsu plants are for assembly only. The components are just about all made over seas. The designs are all from Japan. This was done as a hedge against possible tarriffs on imported iron. As I recall it mostly goes the same for Kobelco. As I recall the Deere Hitachi is also the same.
It is a sad commentary on our situation, with no manufacturing base the future is highly in question
, I for one cant figure out why I virtually cant buy a diesel vehicle here when they are proliferant overseas, I honestly believe its because the uneducated or IGNORANT people in marketing roles that either refuse or dont realize that a diesel engine is much more efficient for automtive use.
The point gentlemen is that the real money for all this goes to the home countries.
