We have devoted a great deal of time to try and get the price down and we will continue to do so, but we will not use weaker material and sacrifice quality.

We're working hard on it, but steel prices are making things tough.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I know that steel prices have affected almost all aspects of equipment/farming, and can appreciate that it costs more to make. I would certainly hope you wouldn't lessen the quality, it is why I found it interesting in the first place.
