[SedonaDave]

Dude you can go to your grave with your lies....Im not your maker....Funny the working guy always gets the blame (and all unions).....You may want to look at year for years...The japs had it made...no catalytic converters, no safety features...Nothing...The first thing they did was get them on unleaded gas..And they folded like an accordions......

We all see your hated filled post about the assembly line guy.....Or you live in Kalifornia.....we get it....good luck to you.

We destroyed them in WW2 went back and rebuilt them and gave them some of out great technology....
A giant auto maker is no different than a destroyer!...It takes time to turn them around.....and well....Datsun was no huge moter company till they invaded us.....You keep buyen that crap....I will go out of my way and do what I can......

If GM had listened to W. Edwards Deming they would not be in the mess they were in. The Japs did and boy did his ideas work...

Hopefully everyone feels better and Mahindra works on the website.
From what has been written above it sounds like I'm the problem......sorry

How true. While the Japanese are indeed clever and industrious they are not in the least creative or innovative. On those scores I don't think anyone can beat America. Come to think of it, I can't think of anything that was invented in Japan. They even borrowed a lot of their language and alphabet from China. I wouldn't give a plugged nickel to be in Japan's shoes right now. They have nothing in the way of resources and can't really even feed themselves. If they can get out of their own way, China is likely to steamroll right over them pretty soon.

There is nothing hate filled about it, nor are there any lies, it's just the way it really is. If you think socialism works, take a look at Europe right now. The EU is in the process of falling apart like a two dollar watch and it hasn't been that long since the EU even came about. Not long ago I was still spending Francs and Deutsche Marks over there and it's already almost over. Socialism is killing them off one by one.
There is no good reason for the American Auto industry to have fumbled the way it did except for laziness and greed. And as I pointed out it was the fault of both the management and labor. You're delusional if you think you can get something for nothing. You snooze you lose, it's just that simple. That's the same kinda crap that Pontiac VP was giving me about the pile of junk I bought from them but every car I've bought out of Japan ran with unleaded gas and with catalytic converters too just like the American iron had too but somehow they managed to build a product that has lasted. You two guys must have had the same programmers. You can thank your whacked out mostly democratic politicians for all the environmental and other endless stream of mandated stuff. If you're so patriotic tell me why it is that you own a foreign made tractor and not one made in the USA?

BTW the so called Japanese truck I drive was built in Fremont CA and good part of it was made in California too however now it's made in Mexico so I likely won't be buying another from them.

My 'Japanese' branded truck was built in Texas of 95% American built parts. It's more American than most American built stuff. The only problem is the 'profits' go to Japan.

My Indian branded tractor was made in Japan.

Dickfoster, that was a good speech/rant about your Pontiac etc, did't quite agree with everything, but I like reading it. :thumbsup:
Seems like everytime and everywhere there's a bad product, car, tractor, boots shoe's and windows, the first thing gets jump is the union worker. I've been in none union jobs and now in my later years, a union job and can safely say without fear or favor, I seen dubs and the dont care attitude in both sides.
From the 25+years of my observance of union workers, 90% of the problems and screw up's lays at the feet of management, all the way to the top. Even I have mention something several things lot of things that scould improve quality, and like so many others all we hear is, yup yup, that sounds good, goes in one here and out the other. What management want's is some big NEW idea that that will save the day, but that rarely happens, they just wont listen to the little things, not all baseball games are won on home runs, most of time it's base hits.

I'd bet most of Detroit auto problems lie's at the feet of management and the $20 million/year salary of the fat cigar smoking CEO's. The next big problem lie's at the feet of the Union's, and with the few union zealots/shop steward's that all's they worry about is, (that's not your/my job) as far as I'm concerned, if you know how to do the job, it's your job. All I want the union to worry about is safety and my wages and benefits.

Is it just me or is there really something wrong in Denmark, seems like every month there's a complaint with Mahindra and yet when someone wants advise on buying a tractor lot of the same tractor owner will recommend a Mahindra, from what I read, I wouldn't touch one with a ten ft. pole.

 

[BlackOps]

i could say the same about orange....

again opinions are like.... everyone's got one.

Can we pin this post to top of the forum? We could also begin a campaign to prevent any positive comments or recommendations regarding any products- especially Mahindra that don't pass the "ten ft. pole" test.

OOps sorry for the delay I just got back to the iPad. I just went outside and drove my tractor to the bottom road (don't tell anyone it started) and put a sign on it- FREE TO ANYONE WITH LESS THAN A TEN FOOT POLE

Signed your humbled former Mahindra owner

*disclaimer- this thread has taken several twists and turns that have nothing to do with a website. Because of that I thought a little sarcasm and humor would fit right in! As the famous quote from a few years ago (in the USA at least) goes- "Don't taze me bro"
