Most of components of Italian products these days are coming from China. Day by day, China is dominating in all fields including implement fields. A few months ago, one businessman from USA told me he has been buying rotary tillers from China for half price by volumes. Tillers were not available there a year ago or two. As you may know, I am also in export business and, due to its nature, I host customers from abroad from time to time. I am an open-minded businessman. When a customer ask me about an item; about its available in Turkey, about its market prices, etc. I offer them to bring from China. See I am located in Turkey and I am selling items from China to Europe, etc. I guess Italians are not so open-minded people like me. They are just buying to Italy first and then, with some small modifications/adds-ons, they put "made-in-italy" label on complete unit. By the way, I am not only in farm machinery field. I work in several industrial fields and things are same. So, Ken, maybe, it's time to use another method to compete your competitiors. If you do this, it will be more constructive and productive. Then, maybe, we can do some business with you, who knows. But, please, don't follow the way Pieter had followed. Also, don't follow the way of his student (you know who.)
