<font color="blue"> Anyway, there a plenty of good domestic mowers yet, and any of them I'm betting have more long term value than a poorly constucted domestic or whatever imports there are now. And if you have quality construction, it can warrant a few repairs every 10 years, then we can have domestic manufacturing and the politicians can have their "service economy" to boot.
There also happens to be at least one domestic manufacturer of small to midsized tractors who [despite importing a couple components] has me very impressed. </font>
Hey Chad,
I got the impression from Durbob's post, that the Chinese Mower, looked just like a Sears Mower.
When we talk about domestic made mowers, who knows, who is makeing the mower units and who is buying the units from China or some other country and then putting their companies Logo on the Mower.
Same Thing with Tractors, There is so much name switching on tractors now, that it is almost impossible for the consumer to know where anything is being made any longer. I heard someone talking about his John Deere engine had China as the country of origin.
I commend you for your Loyalty to America, but I just don't see that type of Loyalty in the mass of people's here any longer. What I see now, is mass loyalty to their Money and getting as much as they can get with it.
Whether you like WalMart's or not, they have proven their strategy to work, over the years, "Sell it for Less". Lovem or Hatem, No one can deny that their strategy has proven itself.
And when it comes to Tractors , Mowers, and other equipments, I have not seen anybody that can beat China's prices. That's why people buy Chinese Products, and as long as they continue to sell for less, I don't see any end in site.
Like it or not, "The AllMighty Dollar Rules". Sad but True.
Get Your Tractors Running &
Have a nice day,
