I cant blame you for sure when you have personal knowledge of something like that. Whats doubly amazing is that Northern allowed something like that to even be shipped. Though I have never purchased one of their tractors, I have purchased other items from Northern and didnt experience problems but that only speaks for my own experience and may not be company wide.
The China situation as it is today, with all the recalls and the other quality control problems that have come to light in recent times is very serious. Like you, we have stopped purchaseing many things that have come in from there. There is no way of telling how things are now going to shake out with imports from there.
All I can say is that either better quality control is establish on the stuff that they export to this country or they are going to lose a lucrative trade because more and more people WILL stop buying. Time will tell.
This is to all who read this thread. Folks, from some of the replies I have recieved in this thread there seems to have been a small misunderstanding. I am a newcomer to this TBN and was simply responding to this thread in which someone had asked about certain tractors. I simply responded with some suggestions as to some tractors he might look at. I dont have an axe to grind about chinese products nor am I trying to promote their products in particular whether it be tractors or anything else. It could have been a Canadian product or from anywhere else as far as I am concerned. I can only speak to my own personal experience.
So if I have riled some folks, what can I say? Such was not my intent. I have met some pretty nice folks in my short time here and recieved alot of helpful advice. I simply wanted to return the same to others in what small way I could. Maybe that was a mistake.
not riled here
