To take everything you said about farm equipment a bit further, you ought to get into the construction equipment side of things. To think about it, this whole situatuion applies to farm equipment also as the Yanmar/Deere tractors clearly show. What I'm getting at is that nowdays it's often hard to figure out exactly who is building the machine/engine/component on any given brand. CAT owns Perkins and many Perkins engines are branded as CAT's. In the excavator market many Hitachi and Deere machines are identical. Used to be some Komatsu and CAT forklifts were identical, or so I was told.
Then, after you figure out who actually made the machine, as a whole, you can usually break the machine down into it's various components which are made by a variety of other mfgs. Transmissions made by Dana/Spincer/Clark/Hurst (yep, all owned by one main mfg now). Axels made by ZF, Dana, etc, etc, etc. Engines made by Perkins/CAT, Komatsu branded Cummins', CAT branded Mitsubishi's etc, etc, etc.
Basically nowdays when you buy anything equipment related it's a real crapshoot as to what your actually getting. Granted this situation has been around for a long time to some degree but over the past ten years or so it has gotten really bad. But that's just what I've seen being out there every day, for what it's worth.
