Who Makes John Deere Compact Tractors?

Misinformation abounds about who designs, and manufactures John Deere Compact Tractors. Tractor Time with Tim answers this question, giving the modern history of JD compacts, and addresses rumors that Yanmar or TYM makes some Deere tractors.

UPDATE 3/06/23: Looks like I may be contributing to the misinformation! John Deere has reached out to me stating that the 30xxD series is NOT designed by Yanmar. Rather, it is designed by the Pune India engineering team.
This is frustrating to me, as we fully intend to provide detailed and accurate information. We had asked several sources, all of whom stated this is a "Yanmar design". I am sorry for this error.
