Aussie Farmers SHOCKED to Find Out Where Their Headers Are REALLY Built — John Deere, Case IH, Claas

Seven hundred new headers were sold in Australia in 2025 — and every big brand builds its headers on the other side of the world. In this video I walk through where John Deere, Claas, New Holland, Massey Ferguson and Case IH actually make the machines we run, why two of them share the same 775 horsepower and 20,000 litre tank but come from two different continents, and what it means for the bloke who has to keep one running at harvest. I'm Wayne Pritchard, 24 years a diesel mechanic and field service tech, and there's a factory story near the end that I bet you haven't heard. Plus a seven-point checklist to run before you sign for any new or used header.
