We purchase hundreds of thousand tiller blades from Europe. Both Italy and Spain manufacturers are soon having to purchase on the spot market. This will effect tine replacement $1-2 each on the wholesale side. Chinese junk tines will be less effected.

It won't be in 2 years, but for certain in 4.5 years....after the next election when the thieves in DC will enrich themselves at our expense. Having the prices increase to drastically in the next couple years would put the spotlight on them too bright right now.
