JGS, I wouldn't get hung-up on exactly where the engines are made; I'd look at the installed track record in other construction equipment. And at the Tier 4 Final compliance, or whatever it'll have to be to sell your equipment here in NA in the next few years.
I have a handful of 4BT and ISB4.5 engines (irrigation pump 4BT engines with 10 years and very many hours without failures). The B3.3 isn't the same family design as the larger B series. The larger B series are as bullet-proof as any engine I've seen.
PS 4BT engines from Brazil have been as reliable as any others...
