I'm sure EA was a pimple on the butt of tractor implement sales. Losing them will not be an economic factor.Simple economics. Fewer sellers = lower supply = higher prices.

Maybe he did and the refund was denied. I'm sure the CC companies have gotten wise to the EA debacle.Maybe he should have gotten it back from the credit card co. But, since he didn't he can bash EA. I gues the name of this thread should be Bash EA.
There are still quite a few privately held companies making tractor stuff. The big loss here is;Thanks for the information. This isn't good when a big conglomerate owns lots of brands and pretends that there's competitive pricing when really there isn't. Given that all three "manufacturers" have the same implement, perhaps CEG is owned by AG too. I already have an old 8ft Schaffer hydraulic disc harrow that I bought from a farmer for $1,150 a few years ago, so I'm not in the market for one but I was curious.
This was part of the appeal for me with EA. They were privately owned with a long history, and they designed and made much of what they sold. If they go away I'll miss them and the implements they made.
yea, their patent trail is pretty iffy, almost non-existent.I'm disputing it, they had no R+D whatsoever other than ripping up asphalt and they were building stuff that didn't work and had quality control issues.
If you all like USA sourced and manufactured, go look at Iron Craft. It used to be Titan, but with the other import company also being Titan, they gave up and renamed themselves. I hand some Titan USA implements and find them to be perfect for my needs and are now 6 years old and like new aside from some paint wear.
IronCraft is certainly USA manufactured, but NOT entirely USA sourced. Their own website says as much. Made in the USA with USA and imported parts. they have told me their steel is US-made steel so that makes a difference.If you all like USA sourced and manufactured, go look at Iron Craft.
