The REAL REASON John Deere Costs 3x More Than Chinese Tractors

Why does a 120hp John Deere cost $160,000 when the same horsepower from China costs $45,000? This film breaks down the $115,000 gap acre by acre, from a 25% jump in machinery costs between 2021-2024 to the myth of the 40% dealer markup. It follows the paper behind the price — tariffs, Tier 4 emissions, product liability, warranty and software — and why farmers are paying $80,000 for 1980s tractors at auction instead.
