John Deere is in the process of laying off workers. 460 since late last year. 3/4 of them are in Iowa. Not sure what is going on. I got my info from a Reuters report. Hopefully these people can find good jobs.

Outsourcing doesn't help either!

They have a great reputation in the Marine Engine Industry all they Blocks are proven from there land equipment, Me and my Dad are both powered by them, Parts when needed are all in States and service is always great, Hate to hear any Good company start to struggle. PineDoggin, Which JD marine engines are you guys running ? I considered repowering with one but just had the old Cat rebuilt this winter.

Thanks. The 6068’s are popular here but I didn’t like the idea of the computer control. Couple friends have had issues. But some others love them. Motors have electric but the transmission are still all manual shifter cable shift.
