Could have been Mannheim, Baden-Wrttemberg, Germany or Saltillo, Mexico.

GOSH, what a deception!

If the fact that DEERE is an OLD American company offends you, there's am easy way around it, buy a FIAT product!

Well I'd expect them to be truthful about where their product was produced since it is the law.Actually those tractors were really good machines as far as I know as were Deere's
Yanmar built tractors.Not so good are their India built ones wonder if they put the Made in USA on them too?

They probably put the wheels on it when it arrived in the US - "assembled in the US".

Check import duty regulations. Going to bet that without the wheels they are imported as "parts" not "tractors". Wink! Others do it too. Also shipping rates are less with no tires as it is easier to "crate" the "parts" and stack the crates.
