I think Ken is being a little sarcastic, implying that KK is assembled in the US but with imported gear boxes. At least that is what I took from that..

You know what, I think you're correct since I re-read his statement. I don't know why he would make a stupid move like that towards me- especially since I was planning on buying a used plow from him in the near future. I really was just trying to help.

I use a Land Pride reverse rotation which I really like, but there are a lot of good, lower cost units including those mentioned.
There may or may not be a difference in quality with the higher end units, but most of us will never use one enough to really know.

How much ground speed? Or I guess better is how less a ground speed are we talking about? Is there different slow 1st gear speeds?

No really, I am serious. I can't find anyone who will say anything other than the "country of Origin" is the USA. I have some products that I sell that stonewall the same way. I guess, If a Corvette is assembled in Bowling Green, Ky out of parts from all over the world, then is is made in the USA. Ken Sweet

I have a Bush Hog model 285 rotary cutter that I bought new alittle over a year ago. As we all know, the "Bush Hog name" is supposed to be as American as it can get. Well come to find out, (after I made the purchase), the gearbox on mine says MADE IN CHINA! The cutter hasn't gave me a problem, but I'm not at all happy about it. Kinda made me lose some respect for Bush Hog.

I know a local fellow that bought a new 7 ft MX series John Deere Brush Hog this year for $3500. Guess where the gearbox was made? If you said China, you are right. Ken Sweet

I haven't checked, but I would almost be the gearbox on my Land Pride was also made in China and possibly the gear box on my rotary cutter too; seems to be the trend now; don't know about my Woods.
