I get a www.com web address along with the picture, otherwise it should be pretty evident by now.

Double blades or double actions much better than single blade or single actions. But you pay double money for the double action. In my area, double action or double blade mowers are being sold more than single action single blade mowers. But sales of single action mowers is also very good as there are many farmers who think single payment is enough.

As has been posted several times, the question here is “Country of Origin”. Without a doubt CCM has provided a wealth of information on who makes what and where, and in some cases, provides his own opinion regarding the quality of the equipment. For example, I gleaned the following from several of CCM's postings:

Sicma, Coroni, Sitrex: Made in Italy, they also make private label equipment for others

First Choice Tillers: Made in Italy by Sicma, good quality
Based on what I have read in several postings, it leads me to believe that CCM was once, but is now no longer associated with First Choice.

Industrial Tillers: Made in Italy by Sicma, cheaper version, sold by Goforth

Rhino Tillers: Made in Italy by Sicma

Muratori Tillers: Made in Italy, sold by Leinbach

Kioti Tillers: Made in Italy by Sicma

…..and numerous postings that spell out who is using what components; what country they originate from; what models are no longer on websites; who is traveling where looking for alternate sources; who copied who, and so on.

…..but dances around direct questions (who makes what and where) regarding his own products. In my opinion, and I stress my opinion only, one should not make subtle digs on others if you are not willing to disclose the same information.

I do find some of the information very interesting, however, I can do without the digs.

No one would be posting anything here on these forums if everybody was asked to pay back by giving info also about him/herself for each info he/she gave about the others for free. Free info isn't being appreciated - but asked to pay back. Never do a favor- was a saying of who? I don't remember.

Sounded like a dealer pi$$ing contest there for awhile /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Actually, it's close to a dealer [censored] contest - but not quite. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif More of a dealer & international distributor trying to look like something they are not.

Thanks for taking the high road, Ken. I'd be listening to you - knowing the players as I do. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Just my 2 cents worth. PM's are welcome....

Thanks Ken,
The exposure your questions have give us on the Super 65 mower have created much interest and many internet sales on these units. Now even more customers know of the high quality of the Busatis cutterbars and the "Low End" prices (as you described) that CCM offers.
CCM serving customers since 1972

Rambler - I tend to agree with you. I don't have a bias toward the quality of products from either dealer, however, Ken comes across as more of a "straight shooter".

The comment I made about "subtle digs" was in NO way directed toward Ken or Sweet Tractors...in fact, it was more of a compliment on him. He asked a basic and direct question - where are they made?

 

[normde2001]

I got a dumb question....Why do we care where they are manufactured? Is there a country out there making farm equipment that we don't like???
