Re: My new \"Tak-Tak\"

yes ron you have strike the keynote because in our country some repairers make these tak taks as an expensive hobby therefore the farmers can not use these tak taks if it was not expensive you may saw it every where in Turkey.

 ( English is almost a second language for most folks here in Texas) 
 ? Didn't get it if this is a joke. Whats 1st language in TX then? 

Texan. It's supposed to be English, but no one but Texans can fully inderstand it.
It is a joke; it has to do with the drawling accent... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Got it now. I had a Texan friend 10-15 years ago. He was a real cowboy, farmer and mountain climber. Even other Americans around us were having difficulties in understanding him.. and also me

Nomad,
Just because the engine is MFG by Lombardini, Perkins, ETC does not mean all engines that MFG have are green engines. To have an engine design earn the title of a green engine it takes over $300,000 of expense just for the testing. THE EPA must have that exact engine certification on file that matches that engine. If the EPA requires a test, the importer pays for the simple test and if it fails the fine is levied and the engine is confiscated. Even a weed eater must have a Green Engine certification. I would not trust any MFG unless that product was listed with the EPA as having the Green Engine Certification.
You are showing you are a novice concerning exporting into the USA.

What's your point, CCI? It seems to me that NOMAD's tak-tak is just as marketable in the USA for farm use, with a user supplied engine, as any gray market tractor, or more so, if that is his intention.

I actually thought he meant that there were so many Spanish Language speakers that English is almost a second language in Texas. Maybe you're right. John

That's what I thought, too, John.

And that's one reason things are so expensive here. Green this, green that, and next thing you know a $10,000 tractor costs $20,000. And, the $20,000 tractor is only a little bit "greener" for all the expense. Don't get me wrong, I'm for green. But not all out crazy militant green. Not burning SUV green, tying myself to a tree green, or crippling our economy green. We must compromise and balance things, and not mindlessly fight for 1 goal.

Have_blue, I thought you made a heck of a lot of sense and I agree with you. But then I'm on my way to make my morning coffee so maybe I'll think different after caffeine?

Nomad, I like your Tak-Tak! I have no use for one, but I tend to have more things around here that I don't/can't use than my wife likes me to have so I doubt I'd be in the market for one. But from the standpoint of a small farm or even a large garden center I could see a lot of use for a Tak-Tak.

That may be what he had in mind! But, as a non-Texan and a non-Hispanic, I can almost say that Spanish is easier to understand than Texan! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
