Should say 'rollformed' in the USA from materials sourced worldwide. I retired from the steel business I worked for one of the largest suppliers of flat rolled in the country for 28 years and I know where it originates at and it ain't here (for the most part). It may be processed here (roll formed), levelled, sheared or slit but the material wasn't made here for the most part. Sharon tube is a roll former and buys worldwide. They bought from us as well and our material was purchased everywhere, including China and the Soviet Union to name a few. We bought domestic as well but the largest percentage came over on a boat.

The steel business is unique in the fact that the original material can come from just about anywhere but once it's processed, you can stencil it with 'Made in USA'. In reality, it isn't. Processed, not made. The line gets blurred.

Finally, there is nothing wrong with Chinese steel so long as the certifications are consistent and in accordance with ISO standards. In fact, the Chinese produce some exceptional quality steel but they also produce some junk and that holds true with the very few domestic mills still in production.

Tossing out the Made in China connotation is nothing more than a red herring. Having been in the business for almost 3 decades, I know how the game is played.

I asked a simple question, because it was not disclosed on the website... Where is bestco "manufactured"? China was the answer. EA doesn't manufacture anything in competition with bestco, so I wasn't trying to start anything. EA does "manufacture" in the USA, and we use the best available USA Steel, from USA suppliers, and we employ 100% USA labor, rather than simply receiving 100% chinese products, built with 100% chinesuim, by 100% chinese labor. Thanks, and goodnight.

^^ Three thumbs down for dumping on another brand's thread and hawking your own stuff.


No EA for me, gau-ron-tee'd.

Have been waiting to order a flail mower, wanted to wait a bit longer but for 20% off, that's a juicy worm there... might have to bite.

You will not be disappointed .


Thank you. I've been looking at their flail mowers. I guess it's time to buy.

Also, they have excellent customer service (and I am just a satisfied customer)

Ya OK Ted, Travis . . . you are still dumping on another thread. I've dealt with this company and as far as I can state, they have been excellent with aftercare/parts, anything.

Received the mower today. Took 5 days from the time I ordered. Well packaged in a steel crate, strapped on a pallet. Welds appear good, overall looks better than the mowers I have seen at TSC or other places. For the price, a very good deal. Here are some pics unloading it

Just pulled the trigger on a tiller. Too good of a price to pass up. Hoping it works out.
