Finally got the hydros done and tried my single lid grapple ,it was a short trial as i will have to extend my hoses or possibly put some 90's on since my QC mount is on a bracket and not floating as EA recommends but she picked up a big ole log without breaking a sweat..

BTW; tell peanut he owes me a quart of oil since he forgot to tighten one of the hoses.

I will try to post a video when I get the hoses sorted out

I tried a small kind of rake , thatcher for my riding mower to rake up leaves around my place, it does not do the job I had hoped it would. Now I am thinking of getting one of your pine straw rakes. I have a 35 HP Kabota L3400. I am thinking the 6 foot one or the 5 foot one, that could get into tighter places. I am think the 6 foot one will get the job done faster so I am more inclined to want that one. What would the costs be to ship to Oregon? Plaease give me the total cost of both rakes.

Now there is a service you do not see everyday......
Your vendor posting pics of your new toy as it is in final assembly!

We allways gave customers the opportunity to visit the factory when their wheel loader was in the final stage of assembly. Too bad its over, the last three sold units will get built and then i have to go job hunting...

That shouldn't be too far for him to deliver it on Saturday or something.
Hey, if he does that he can operate the tractor while you work the camera.....he'll be right at home.

Seriously, sorry about that....i'll let him know.
We'll be looking forward to a video!

We've sold some for that purpose, but I haven't heard of how good they work for thatching or raking leaves. In theory, it should do fine as long as the leaves are big and/or thick. I doubt it'd work very good on leaves like pin oaks.
Just add $60 to the ETA Pine Needle Rakes on our website to get the total. No tax, and it ships to your door via UPS or Fed-ex ground.

Thanks, the little one I have picks up all kinds of stuff once it gets moving, but it clogs fast, and as the tines are not in the same row it is hard to clean. I will use the little riding mower thatcher I have as a thatcher, I just have a lot to rake. I love not spending all day doing the raking. I am going to need it by this fall so I will be ordering it soon. I like the way it is put together, your Youtube video talks about welding spring steel and how it makes it brittle, and how yours is not, that is true. I work for Boeing, and my field is dealing with metal stress and preventing cracks, so I am a bit of an expert at this. From all the rakes yours looks the best to me.

Cool, i'm pretty sure that my old neighbor(as in not presently, and his age) retired from Boeing in WA State. I think he's been down here around 4-5yrs.

That's a shame. Too much manufacturing heads to cheap labor countries. We've lost our steel and along with it the industries using steel. Our scrap iron leaves the country as well. It has a terrible ripple effect downward. Good luck with the job search!

Agreed! Best of luck to you.

I bought a class 6 pto shaft from you recently for my pull bush hog. Did the trick- been using it this summer!

I'm actually not from the States, but the same counts for Holland. The Germans are much more proud of their industry and are more willing to promote it. Therefor they rank with the top 3 of automaker countries in the world, though their home market isnt that big at all. Our "Hoogovens" steel ovens have been merged with British steel to form Corus, now taken over by Tata steel from India. I guess it isnt much different in the States, but i agree, too much production is heading to cheap labor countries...

Everything we do to improve environmental impact, animal welfare, workers rights, will lower our competition standard so our chicken coups that are banned here in favour of freestalls are exported to Poland where they put an extra hen in each cage, the workers health rights make it uneconomical to galvanise here so that industry is moving to Germany and Belgium, and this rant could continue for hours...

The standard of living in some of these exporting countries is bound to increase as the populous demands a share of the wealth. Look what happened to Japan, who long ago had a blue collar workforce well behind where they are now. Even China is undergoing a focus on its people.

Yes, in 2002 our company started outsourcing steel frame fabrication in Eastern Europe but those guys are getting more and more expensive too... My brother in law is in the machine safety business and says a lot of his customers are talking about bringing production back home, with a high degree of automation such as teach-in welding robots, which are also cost effective at smaller production volumes.

Eventually, free world trade will level everything out... The chinese workers demand more wage, which gives them more money to spend, which ups demand, which ups prices, which makes them demand more wage: in the end they'll end up with similar ratio between wage and cost of living as us.

Then Chinese socialism will collapse eventually, when peoples basic needs are met (food, shelter) they will begin to demand freedom and human rights. The chinese government can only delay the inevitable by giving the worker a share of the wealth, but when those first needs are met, freedom will be the next, and thats what their system cant give to people...

1. I have heard small pockets of the same. Good to hear.
2. Correct, it is just a matter of time.

Any one sending factories to China is a traitor, China is becoming the world power. The people doing do not care if they destroy the US, it was American manufacturing that won WW2.

I ordered the 6' pine straw rake, it should be here this week. The one thing I want to tell you is that on your site you have a "calculate shipping cost" button to add the price of shipping to the order (as most places do). I kept clicking it but nothing ever happened. When I gave up in frustration and called my order in your man on the phone said the button does nothing, and you calculate shipping costs. You should get rid of this button, and put a note saying just what you are doing about shipping. I bet a few people just give up and do not order due to this.

I'm sorry you had trouble, but we're unaware of a calculate shipping button because our system doesn't have the ability to calculate any additional shipping costs.

When you add something to your cart, our Free Shipping Policy page comes up that includes an explanation for those that are outside our free shipping zone:

It says:
"For those outside the free shipping area, we welcome you to place your order just as if you lived inside this area. Your credit card will not be charged until we contact you with an exact shipping amount to your location and get your approval.
We will get you the best shipping quote possible, and have found that our customers outside this area once they receive their shipping quote still decide to purchase from us!"

This gives us the ability to run multiple freight quotes and save the customer as much as possible, without relying on a computer to do the job. Also, if a customer is purchasing multiple attachments that can be shipped from the same location, it is sometimes possible for us to ship them without adding any additional freight.

We are a phone call away. ETA has no automated system so you will go right to a real person that is here to assist you with your order. Thank you for the business!
I hope this helps.
Travis

The "free shipping" link did show up, the Calculate shipping cost button is on the check out section where it shows the price. I was on an iPad, although some sites act different on phones and tablets, I think it is there on your site. Try buying some thing and see if it is there for you. You may want to get rid of this button.
