New attachment manufacturer

Nope Jim,
Thats the car that semi-retired Bill Elliott will run at Indianapolis in August. He had planned to run 12-15 races this year, but so far this is #4. Been my favorite since 1988 /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I have followed tractor by net for some time now, but by simply viewing the posts. I never felt the need to respond on an issue until now.

I happen to know that Midwest has changed all designs due to warranty issues and not the fear of appearance patents or license agreements. They are now doing their own designing and are producing better products for Kioti, and other dealers and customers.

It would probably be a mistake for the Marion Company to make products with a defective design.

Is JimMacElroy in fact Jim McCuan of integration engineering who designed the products for Midwest Equipment?

This is one I can answer. Nope, not me.

Big O,
Are you saying that all the production for the last 3 years are flawed? What about this years Kioti production? Just which designs did they purchase? I think you meant to say that you were trying to improve & change your products and not infringe on any of the patent issues. So my next question is when will we see the new production? Are these designs totally new or are they modifications of existing proven designs?

I have no horse in this race but still felt obligated to mention a couple things.

A first post by a new member criticizing the design (and hence the designer) of a product I happen to own raises some questions in my mind, especially when I've had zero problems with my attachment. Further, early on in the process of these being marketed, I had occasion to correspond and even speak with the designer and, quite frankly, that was probably the sole reason I bought one.

I was so impressed with him and his knowledge and commitment that I bought one 100% sight (and site) unseen. I have to say, as I have before on here, that if that implement came up missing some day I'd buy another one without the first moment's hesitation.

How about a little fairness here instead of something like this?
