My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We saw over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

4 million to a company that clears billions is not even a slap on the wrist. Love u Bre
Well they gross billions, but I'm sure their net is pretty handsome too.
I’m sure Corporate viewed that as a win! Less than a penny dropped on the floor from the litigation.
Ford has so many engine and transmission problems. It will cost a small fortune to “fix.”
Workers lawyers wanted a quick check.
And $4 million damage compared to the $27.5 million salary of the CEO is a joke.
Makes $27M/year and cost both Deere and Ford $50M combined? If ANY employee at ANY level had cost either company $10K - gone, fired...yet they all keep CEO's making king's ransom salaries!
Its really sad to see what used to be a really good company thrown down the toilet due to greed.
ALL the large manufacturers are usually involved with the mega groups that own most of the controlling shares of these businesses. The mega conglomerate stakeholder groups need to be broken up but it will never happen because they also own the governments who could bust them up. Vote with you $ people.
Jd is building a huge warehouse in lowell, in just south of me .. very huge. Buildings
Exactly..
Short term gain for long long term loss. Executives have been doing this for a long time. Smart boards are putting clawbacks in contracts to go after them if they temporarily pump numbers and then it crashes.
As long as competition can be limited, enshittification is unstoppable.
10.5 million probably was far CHEAPER than actually paying those workers pensions and health care
You are 100% correct. These lawsuit numbers go into the calculations when they do these layoffs and move manufacturing out of the U.S. Every time a manufacturing job leaves the U.S., our country is incrementally weakened.
I purchased a new tractor, snow blower, blade and mower last year - and chose a Kubota - and hearing about all of this, I am SO glad I did. John Deere has lost their way and chosen the poorer path of greed rather than be a team player part of our country. They join Boeing in this horrible award.
Well at least you never have to fly on a Deere.
I will be looking at Kubota to replace my old John Deere when the time comes. Screw'em.
I did the same, and the good news Kubota 85 % built in the USA 🇺🇸
When I replace my Deere, it won't be with a Kubota.
Same shit, different pile.
@@OmegaBlueFarms What are you buying?
$4.3 million split between 116 people, not even figuring that lawyer fees will consume the majority of that amount; is only a one time payment of roughly $37,000 per person. Their pension from 1984 would have cost John Deere exponentially way more than that over the decades, so in the eyes of the John Deere bean counters this is actually a huge win for John Deere.
The stupidity of corporate leaders is equal to that of our politicians
Capatalism is SOCIALISM for the wealthy
Who do you think owns the politicians?
Corporate leaders and politicians are Siamese twins. They are joined at the wallet.
It's almost like they're in cahoots. 🤔
@@SCARFACE69247 Oh, now you noticed!
When I was a student at St. Edward’s University, my economics professor told us, “The sole reason a corporation exists is to increase shareholder wealth.” Wrap your head around that and everything gets explained. Investors expect to earn a profit for taking a risk. That is the core of free enterprise and when I worked for SLB, I engaged in the discount stock purchase program (becoming a shareholder myself) and also the profit sharing plan. I worked for SLB for 42-1/2 years and my risk taking paid off.
And then the old quote that the economists got wrong: "What's good for GM employees is good for America and what's good for America is good for GM employees." GM executive during Senate confirmation hearings in the 1950's.
@@everettputerbaugh3996the 50’s is a lot different than now. The 50’s had some of the largest wealth increases in the labor market the world has ever seen and it was that way until then 80’s. Veterans had it made coming back and didn't put up with going back to pre 40’s labor practices.
It's the main reason not the sole reason.
When I was a young man an old man told me to find a way to work for myself. He said nobody can fire me but me and the only limitations to my income would be up to me. My fear of working for a big corp is because of how quickly they can get rid of you
When my son was 5, his friend's dad got laid off. They were very upset.
My son asked me if I could get laid off. Being self-employed, I told him that I wouldn't get laid off ... but we could starve to death ...
I been self employed for 50+years..
If I had to do it over I would be self employed and never file a tax form EVER , put nothing in your name put it all in your mother's name whether alive or not , rent what u need , stick every penny in your pocket F the gov they will give trillions of your dollars to foreign countries while our Vets and US citizens starve
@SnakeBitBob1982 ok if ur smart enough 2 save but kinda sucks if u spent it all didn't pay shit into ss
Self employed NEVER file a tax form Cash and carry , have nothing in your name , the gov gives trillions to foreign countries while US citizens and our Vets starve , screw the gov
Well Ms. Bre, I took small engine repair/rebuild in High School 1971. I have found things were just made better back in the day. I have placed your link on my home screen. And. I truly appreciate all the knowledge you've imparted without the B.S. you've assisted me a lot. Thank you, for all your efforts and all you do. Keep-On-Keeping-On. Don from San Antonio. Texas.

"If the devil had land in Texas and hell he'd lease out Texas and live in hell." Just repeatin' what I've read.
JD….. Nothing runs like a Deere…. and nothing smells like a john.😮
We used to say" nothing runs like a Deere with a big CAT behind it"
@@georgeturley6005 great! The once iconic American brand is moving to Mexico.
@@lawman5511 just like every other American company
My Father worked at GE for over 40 years. He started with he was 17 years old and retired at 63. The appliance division was sold to a Chinese based company shortly after he retired. Guys/gals that hired in a few years after my father, got royally screwed.
If you don't mind asking, that have an affect on yours dad pension ? I always hear stories about people's pension getting cut down.
@Hugo-Hernandez it didn't my father's. They did change his medical coverage. That amounted to a decent cut.
He told me one time that since GE was such an old company and one of the first to have a pension plan, that GE's pension was self-funding. Meaning that the interest would cover the expenses. He said the problem was that the company kept finding ways to dip into the pension.
When he retired, I went to his retirement dinner at GE. A Union spokesman told all the retirees that the average life span of a retirees was 7 years. He said, "Some live more and some live less." He went on to encourage everyone to stay active.
Kind of crazy to work to retirement and only have 7 years.
John Deere sounds a bit like AutoNation. They bought our dealership and the first words out of the new management's mouth was "we're shocked at how much you people are making". It's spiraled downhill from there. In one conversation they would tell us "sorry guys there's no money for raises" and then "thanks for another record-breaking profit this month". Couldn't wait to get out of that place.
Hey that sounds like it's time for a pizza party with the top management on up getting a fat bonus.
If you were like so many of us, you found that there was no place to go!! All the jobs were in Mexico, now China!
@@danven1256 They will find ways to ban competition then say "build your own industry."
Sounds like what my employer ( my corrupt state) is doing to me! As soon as I got my last raise I got a letter withen a week or so saying health care is going up again in the exact amount of my raise! Oh and part of that raise I got came from a reduction in my retirement contribution so now I get lease of that to! Good shit huh!!!!!!!
a friend of mine, the company he worked for. The president of the company gave the Vice President a list of people to fire. Then when the VP came back from firing everyone....The president of the company then fired the VP.
The same thing happened at a large engineering firm (Willdan) I worked for from 2004 through 2007.
What goes around comes around?
I hope the board then called int the president and fired him.
Corporate greed ruined another company and put the screws to good hard working employees! Thanks Brie for the video. You are doing a great job young lady!
John Deere has suffered from corporate greed for 30 plus years. Pretty sad when you can afford to buy two or three of a competitor's tractor for the price of one John Deere; AND those competitor tractors last just as long or longer, and are simple and inexpensive to repair, compared to JD.
Anybody ever notice that JD Green is the same color they use on the Dollar bill?
You got it going on woman! You will a millionaire one of these days. It couldn’t happen to a more sincere and honest person than you! Thanks for all you do for your peeps!💙☮✌🏻
Stop worshipping strangers online
They say there isn't a market in the US for John Deere. They build the factory in Mexico, bet you dollars to donuts, that the majority of the products coming out on Mexico will be sent to the US Market.
Absolutely!!!
There’s Green on every farm channel on YT. Insufficient demand? Come on now.
Sold the mega-billionaires of the New World Order, as usual.
And if they get bought buyers are just stupid.
@@RaoulThomas007 - Every single time I hear a news story about JD it's negative. This is them trying to spin/justify their reason for off-shoring jobs. Farmers can't even fix their own large equipment.
It’s people like you that make the industry great keep doing what you’re doing
Worked for a Deere dealer for 30 yrs. When I left I bought a massy 😊😊😊
Deere parts are so expensive. They add inventory carrying costs onto the parts. It’s crazy!
mf is coming back they have seen the light all i own are mf couple old ihc
Sure you did...😅
@@BKD70 actually I was there 34yrs. Went through many service managers, store managers and 4 owners. The last buyout in 23 I called it quits. They had a nice little massy trade in that I bought just before I told them goodbye 👋
@@artpendergraft4989 Be a bit more credible if you called it a Massey.I personally named mine Harry after Mr Ferguson.
Hi! I don't remember which video of yours I watched about cleaning/replacing the carb on a b&s mower but I decided to replace instead of repair because I have a tendency to lose or break small parts. I don't work on small engines but I do work on cars and do most of my home repairs myself. I just want to thank you for your easy to follow video and my mower started right up after replacing the carb you suggested that they sell on Amazon. I also decided to change the filter and plug because why not, they were in the recommendations to go with the carb. I was very pleased that for 25 bucks plus a quart of oil, (changed that too) I have a perfectly running mower again, Thank you!
Went with a KUBOTA Compact TLB package
JD wanted $2,500 down @ 5.7% @ 60 months
Kubota offered us a deal - Zero (0) down @ 1.7% for 74 months $302 a month
Also Kubota did not raise the sale price because we financed, JD wanted to add on almost $3,000
Considering something along those lines myself. First it was the right to repair debacle, then the rainbow brigade nonsense they are involved in, now this with the workers. If American companies aren't loyal to Americans, then they are global companies. Then you might as well go with whoever offers the best product, and the best service at the best price.
Kubota is way better than Deere. John Deere owners are usually snobby also.
@@coreysellers4529 Kubota is better than Deere... right now.
I live in the northeast where most of the farms are small. I never see new Juan Deere equipment here anymore, it's either stuff that was purchased 10+ years ago, or it's Kubota, Mahinda, NH, etc. JD can still make the most sense if you're running a MASSIVE operation, but they have lost the normal working man. Right to repair alone is an immediate deal breaker for me, i'm shopping for a zero turn now and won't even look at anything JD solely because of the way they have porked the farmers.
It's illegal for them to raise the price for you financing!
I had TWO JD lawn mowers. Sold them and bought a BAD BOY! Best move I've ever made!
Lawn Mowers are "farmed out" to suppliers like MTD
An international dealership I used to do business with had a hat that read " nothing kills a deere like a magnum". Seems like greed kills deere, as well.
I can remember when tractors were made to be fixed with bailing twine and the occasional nail😂
Now, it's purposefully impossible to work on some equipment because it's locked out.
John deer put 2 generator sets on one of our boats. The chief engineer wanted to have full access in case they broke down at sea. Deer refused.
He suggested they bring a truck and whatever they need to remove the gensets.
He had full access in 10 minutes.
Some of us have to use Run to Destruction as an option for operational requirements and saving an engine or the ship is an easy choice.😂
The company I worked for did a similar dirty to employees. Two of the highest grossing managers I worked under were let go. One had been with the company 30 years. The other 27. They let go service reps in the same way. When I started with them in 1989, it was a family owned company. Everyone from the CEO down were on a first name basis. We were valued employees. Once the last family member retired, CEOs came in that had no experience in our business. The quality of the product nosedived. Customer service, once noted as the best in the industry went down the toilet. On site service went down as well. That's what happens when stakeholders matter more than anything else.
Sounds like Dexter Stamping Llc, next will be their affiliate in Murfreesboro, Tenn.
That's what happens when you're not incentivized to look after the long term health. This is why family companies are beneficial.
This type of company change is eating america.
@@jimbrewer2893 economies of scale could bring down prices. However, it led to the empoyment of technical experts that do not have the same long term goals as family businesses.
Burnham wrote about the problems of this in his manageralism books.
I consider that to be the missing piece as to why economics end up looking nothing like the basic theories we are all told.
I read it and thought "Now here is what the Austrians missed."
@@Skidderoperator That's the Marxist plan. Family companies are called sources of "wealth accumulation" and a "social injustice". The plan is to bankrupt the free economy and nationalize the remaining big corporations that have foolishly consolidated the healthy smaller, owner operated businesses that they swallow up. Democracies break up monopolies; communist regimes simply take them over. The egotistical CEOs are cutting the trail for the Marxists.
Bre we never get frustrated watching your videos they are always great.
It’s all about greed, greed and more greed……
🎯😉👍
I’m sure you don’t want any more money
Lets not pretend government policy and overspending had nothing to do with it.
@@artholyoke Here is where the greed comes in. In 1980 the type of folks making $20,000 a year are making around $60,000-$80,000 today. In contrast the types of folks that were making $100,000 in 1980 are making well over $1,00,000 today. If you look at the upper .5% they are clearing more than 20 times today than they were in those days.
@@artholyoke "I’m sure you don’t want any more money"
Well, Obammy said "that at a certain point, you've made enough money."
I know he was referring to those of us "not in the club," but he didn't specifically say that.
Oh, and just so you know: I don't need any more money that what I have now. I'm pushing 68, and even though I have a modest retirement, I'm hard-pressed to spend it. I'm widowed, I have no debt, other than a mortgage, and my needs are simple.
I'm glad there still are some honest shops out there that do service work. I'm one of the last rv service mechanics left working for a small family owned RV business.
Juan Deere: It's not your grandfather's Johnny Popper anymore.
Back in the day I worked for a construction company that hired a consulting company to find ways to save money. The consultant told them that they needed to take the company provided mini-vans and pickup trucks from the estimators and project managers and just keep a few company vehicles for office use. Their response was don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. I can only imagine what they would have done if they were told to cut employee wages and benefits.
There is no executive that is worth those kinds of salary's either. They're most likely in some private equity company-s as well.
These jerks are running & ruining this country! :(😤
neither are NBA Drafts....
Yup all woke!
If I am an exec with a track record of generating revenue and I make the company 1 billion bucks, I'm getting a cut of that. A huge problem is that there is a culture in which far too many senior execs are getting paid that kind of money and it is not tied to any type of performance. More over the increased profits are not being distributed among the employees in the way of increased salaries.
One way to get on the positive side of this is to invest in stocks and join them since you can't beat them.
Asinine remark
@@WayneSewell Are you on the Board of Directors thinking you should be making an outrageous income, while the employee gets minimum wage and no benefits? That's asinine.
Wow. I love the repair videos, but this kind of thing is just plain important! Thanks for the time you put into these, and that Amazon store looks crazy good!
Imagine being on a John Deere drinking a Bud Light on your way to Kroger to buy some Tyson chicken
Only a company CEO could imagine that.

While I agree with your statement people need to realize the one company that owns all of them. This is the same company forcing wokeness and mutilations on children. They are called Blackrock with a CEO worse than satin, Larry Fink. All part of the WEF in Davos Switzerland. In short, they are global communists

A BOYCOT is in order ! Buy American products and let Mexican John Deere sink . Charge a heavy tarrif to any manufacturer wanting to import back to the United States after leaving the US . Take the tariff money and help American companies that stay here , or help workers wrongly fired by the exodus to Mexico or China or any other 3rd world country .
@@kellyhodges6276 That and I am fine with other companies building stuff here. In the 1980s, the Honda Accord and Nissan Hardbody got made in the USA. They were great.
I could imagine tractors like that if it hasn't already happenned.
Thanks for the update Bre, even if you didn't resolve any of my frustrations. stay as cool as possible.
I have purchased two John Deere lawn tractors, (last one 2 years ago). Because of what you spoke about and moving to Mexico, I just purchased my daughter a Husqvarna lawn tractor for her new house. She wondered why I did not buy her a Deere!! Hope more people will boycott Deere.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Deere and Husky lawn tractors are made in the same factory in like China.
John Deere "farms out" mowers to companies like MTD, and Husqvarna is also a brand of MTD

My Dad gave JUST UNDER 20 years service to the Singer Sewing Machine Co., only to be re-assigned from managing the major sized Tacoma WA store to "managing" a one man sub shop store in a remote suburb..... Six months later the sub shop was closed with layoff to "all" (one) employee. This happened JUST before my Dad was eligible for retirement. His best friend was also a manager with 18 months less time in the company. A year later he was also re-assigned to a sub shop destined for closure. A year following, Congress changed the law to what it is today and employees are vested 20% each year until full retirement. My Dad and his friend had no recourse. Corporate greed is still alive.
I did know a small company that was even worse . They had a company pension plan, and required that all employees invest in the company ( via deductions from paycheck) . But had a clause that anyone who left or was let go , before age 65 lost it , pension and investment reverted back .
They had a reputation for letting staff go before retirement
One man started with them right out of high school, and six months short of his 65th they laid him off
Turned out he had not taken a sick day ever , and had enough banked to take him past retirement
@@outinthesticks1035 Odious! Thank you two for sharing.
@@outinthesticks1035 You mean the company actually kept even the employees' contributions to the pension?
@@outinthesticks1035 That is the whole reason for the 401/403 plans and limitations on how much can be invested into the company. It happened all over the place in the 70-80s. Their whole pension system was just 'reinvestment' back into the company and taken out as corporate profits. The companies robbed the pension funds to stay afloat then went bankrupt.
Thank you for doing what you do it’s always it’s a pleasure to watch your videos🛠️🇨🇦👍🏻
So the 116 JD employees each got $37,068.96?!!! Likely had legal fees! Still got 💩 on. Another slap in the face.
They probably got $5k each, the lawyers got the rest.
In 1984 that was a good bit of money, in the range of a mid-career engineer. A new Corvette was 21K in 1984
Almost 40 yrs later. The letter was dated 2021.
@@KevinMiller-lh9ur I found the article chickanic cited, it says "Originally Published: March 21, 1989" article was updated in 2021 but doesn't say what the update was.
"the settlement provides for $1.3 million in increased pension benefits, because employees will be credited with additional years of service, and $3 million in cash payments." Since this was an EEOC settlement, the employees wouldn't owe attorney fees.
yep. they never mention the 35 percent lawyer fee. highway rob the client period.
This is every single effing large corporation in this country. My medical device company, that made over $8 Billion last year, just announced that they are no longer keeping their pension. We get to take a pay cut of up to 3%, and they still expect the employees to care. All this does is make employees look elsewhere.
Thank you for covering this these companies are a joke

Did my 30 year sentence at Ford and retired 3 years ago. Companies and govt. regulations have been destroying US manufacturing for the past 40 years.
It's true the government is really screwing us and car makers forcing them to make super emissions vehicles and ones that save fuel like active fuel management systems that has been failing on all cars and companies are failing with the stricter emissions laws that are making vehicles so complicated it's hard on everyone even mechanics
Exactly which regulations are responsible for “destroying” American manufacturing?
Sez a guy that never owned a business and had to wade thru thousands of pages of unneeded regulation written by legislators who have never owned a business...
Actually, labor costs are too expensive in the US. Other countries will do the assembly for a fraction of the cost.

Maybe consider orange, at least Japanese companies see the real value in their work and product instead of just money.

@rodgerneeb301 .I live 30 minutes from Moline and their world headquarters. Luckily, my friends all retired before this newest debacle. Every tractor and implement I own is JD green. They have lost a loyal customer.
I went to the John Deere dealership to get a part that broke on my tractor. They didn't have it, but said another dealership across town had it. He told me the price and I was shocked. I asked for the part # ...thinking I might be able to find a better price online. He told me they don't give out part #s. I have never heard such a thing in my 60+ years of life. Ridiculous. I researched online, found the part # and part on Amazon for 1/4 of John Deere's quoted price. I love my JD tractor, but I lost respect for John Deere when this happened three months ago.....based upon their part # non-disclosure policy
I'm spreading the word to boycott John Deere!
Thanks for setting up your amazon store. Lots of quick answers to little problems that keep us from using our equipment when we need it.
It will now be called Juan Deere .
Nothing runs like a chihuahua
While I do NOT support off-sourcing production to other countries, I fail to see where Deere is legally culpable for damages. The auto industry does it all of the time. Lack of loyalty to works is 100% despicable, but not illegal. That lawyer was spinning a nice story, though.
when they ship work south to pay 60-80 percent less then prices don’t go down whatsoever
Correct. The whole idea is stock holders.
ald folks will STILL buy stuff made in Mehico and Chyna...
This is why tariffs are so important. Any US Company that moves its manufacturing out of the country should be slapped with 150% tariffs on any product imported back to the US. Make it cheaper to keep the jobs in the US.

Financial Engineering will be the ruin of this country.
Just look at Boeing. At least with a piece of farm equipment, you have the option of jumping off and a better likelihood of survival. Same thing happening with home appliances. A washer/dryer set used to last 30 years or more. Now you're lucky to get 8 years. Planned obsolescence.
There no legitimate practice of engineering related to finance. Just like there is no such thing as a sandwich engineer. Please stop confusing corporate greed with the practice of engineering.
@@georgechristiana6050 I understand what you're saying, but it's a well-worn term in the finance and banking industry. Whatever you want to call it, the fact that it's being done is the issue. Thank you.
When CAs run engineering concerns, it is tickets. Boeing prime example!
Bre, I just wanna say thank you. Just for being you.
Informative, sharing, humorous, great work ethic, and...
Easy on the eyes.
PahLeeze!! Keep up the good work.
Btw, love the music.
I was at our local Lowe's yesterday. Struck up a conversation with a guy looking at mowers. He was looking to replace an old Deere Z turn. He was looking at the Ariens and the Toro Z turns. He asked my opinion and I gave it to him. Stay away from Deere and Craftsman. The Ariens 52" deck with the Kawasaki or the Toro Time Cutter with the 52" deck and Kawai engine. Both very close in price. I don't know what he choose.
I enjoy your videos and look forward to new ones .I feel that you make an effort to bring useful content and I find your videos explain things in a plain and natural way without the silliness like another TH-camr.

TH-camr Stoney Ridge Farmer owns a John Deere tractor, among others. He has had his share of problems with that tractor, and he has very few nice things to say about the local repair shop.

Great job researching all of this. These corporate leaders don’t care a thing about people.
You don't think corporate greed has anything to do with our inflation. Each year all companies need to make more money than they did the year before. A company that makes 10 Billion lets say in 2023 if the don't make 11 Billion in 2024 than that company lost money.
Good morning 😃 I saw a video called PRI - Q fuel rejuvenator. I was wondering could you do some test using old gas . I sure everyone would greatly appreciate your expertise with this product . Love your videos . Keep them coming . ❤️
RIP John Deere
RIP Harley Davidson too
I have been hearing something about this on the other tractor vlogs, thanks BigAl California
This is nothing new. I get the nostalgia factor of JD but guess what, shareholders are all that matter, and has been that way since the early 80's. This is capitalism 101, pay less for labor, costs, charge more for the product. Shares go up, CEO gets a bonus, wash and repeat.
Driven by the likes of Black Rock, State Street, et. al., not the small investors.
Thank you for keeping us informed and the link to products.
Thanks Bre
Good Luck with the Ford recall. I just got mine back, 2 wks ago, after being in the dealer's shop for 20 months.
Good I want to sue them as well can't get parts for my mower now need a new mower deck for my John deer.
That plastic welder tool you featured was the bomb. I used it to fix my cracked jeep door panel
Said this before, it bares saying again: when ANY US company lays off or fires its workers and moves to another country to hire cheap labor, they then havta import that product back into the USA to sell...import tax them to the point that it would cost the exact same amount to import that unit into the United States to sell as it would have to have just built/manufactured it here in the 1st place. When there becomes zero gain for a company to go where cheap labor and cheap materials are, guess what, they wont do it.
Also add in the "savings" of little to no labor or environmental "concerns" in the poor country that has to put up with their slave-owner tactics.

my lil ole 40k tractor couple years old wouldn't move and I had to take it to JD to be fixed right about the time I needed to cut spring hay, Jd said if I brought it to them it would be 3 weeks before they could even look at it ,which by that time my hay crop is over mature and lost most of its value, $650 just to plug it in to the diagnostic laptop and another $650 to replace 2 sensors. So $1300 and 3 weeks later I was finally able to start cutting hay
"Not enough demand here in America"? Who would be their biggest customer and how is moving their manufacturing offshore going to help with that? This has nothing to do with "demand" in America and has everything to do with cutting costs, while slapping their biggest customer base in the face.
They may be right, but they are causing the reduction in demand.
As a gynaecologist I approve of this video.
No experience but I’ll take a look at it for you 😮
As our economy tanks, it’s no wonder why Deere is doing this preemptive action. But it’s confusing when they claim it’s due to declining market demand for large farm equipment.
Then moving operations to Mexico and building another manufacturing facility. Of course cheap labor, far less government regulations and most likely, no labor unions to deal with which may lead to substandard working conditions. They could use an attrition process and temporary layoffs here and hopefully the market for Deere equipment will come back after the farming down turn is corrected. Employees have mortgages, families and health insurance needs.
A little humanity could go a long way at John Deere corporate.
Manufacturing in the usa will be forever gone soon enough. Once it is gone, it will never come back. That will be the end of the us's economy.
@@freetorobandloot How I wish you were wrong.
Really sad. But thanks for your videos and keeping us up to date. I work on a lot of small engines, and I am going to start using your link. Thank you. Have a blessed day.
But the corporations will regulate themselves 😅
NEVER owned a John Deere product or even looked at one. Subscribed!
We had this happen in Australia ,there is no longer car manufacturers,clothing companies and many many more ,they moved to Asia for cheaper labor.
Thank you for the list of tools u got that I awesome and lists of parts for some units that is super helpful thank you
Juan Deere-- new company colors are red, white, and green.
I liked how you highlighted the subscribe button, when you said "think about hitting that subscribe button" I had never seen that before!
If you want a lifetime job, go work for the Federal Government.
As a partner in the family farm, I've been trying to steer my brothers at looking at other companies like Frendt when looking at a new tractor.
Unfortunately, when it comes to the really big equipment, it's either deere or Case. I wouldn't be opposed to Case, but my 1 brother would probably cry signing a check to them. Lol
If we had a real president, JD would be told they could no longer sell their equipment in the US if they move production elsewhere.
You are exactly right!
Presidents are temporary, tax codes are forever. As long as the US has the worst tax code on the planet, companies will keep moving overseas. If JD can't sell in the US, they probably would end up just fine. And yes, Obamacare is a tax. 30,000 per year per worker to provide insurance is a huge problem.
That's why we're Screwed
What makes you think that?! Look at all the companies that have moved production to Mexico. You know who finances Presidential campaigns? Corporations. That’s why no President says sh it about companies moving. As long as the right palms are greased everything is ok.
That “real” president would tell John Deere to fire the union workers and hire new employees.
Emerson Motor Co did the same thing in 2001. Shipping Jobs to Mexico. 10k engineers instead of 35-45k per year
