Built in Rosario, Argentina
The John Deere model 730, originally built in Waterloo, was also exported to Argentina and assembled at Deere's factory in Rosario. When two-cylinder production ended at Waterloo the tooling for the 730 was moved to Argentina. Production continued until 1971. Argentine model 730s were built in row-crop, standard, and high-crop variants. The paint scheme and hood medallion were different than US-built 730s.
