TSC implements

[KK_Fan]

TSC has started to carry Farm Force implements in some of the Northeastern stores. Farm Force is made by Tarter Gate and the design was based off of the King Kutter line with some changes (none good). They basically cut a few corners to save some cost; you can notice it mostly in the bracing and comparing the King Kutter rotary cutter and the Farm Force side by side. King Kutter uses an Omni Gear gearbox http://www.omnigear.com/ which is also the gearbox manufacturer for Bush Hog and Woods; Farm force uses a Cheetah brand which I have never heard of. Tarter just started making the Farm Force equipment within the past year and I would suspect they have some bugs to work out.

Since you, KK Fan, have no profile I'd say you work for KK or Taylorway/Pittsburg. Omni and ITG make many of the gearboxes for numerous cutter manufacturers, They both have priced Tarter on a KK style gearboxes. Likely Cosmo worked out a deal on a load Chinese gearboxes for Tarter since Tarter is going to sell Cosmo, Sicma, Euro-Cardan, Fort/Morra & Faza. Sounds a little like Buy Smart because the same Italians brokered the same deal. Tarter will be a combination of KK, Darrell Harp & Bob Taylor.
