3RRL, read it here on TBN, don't remember which post. Said he dropped the front FEL with a full loader bucket, and the bell housing cracked in half. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif The Minots I looked at were at TS in Hagerstown, MD.

I think you could really only say "Assembled in Ohio" not "Made". Big difference there.

If you look long enough, you can probably find an equivalent used tractor with not too many hours for the same or less.

Read the Chineese tractor section on the website and look at the problems the owners have and HAVE TO REPAIR THEMSELVES. Tractors from China are not made to the same standards as their competition. They are cheap new and therefore have little resale value.

I've never seen one in person because the nearest dealer is 125 miles away, but pictures on websites they operate trying to sell their product look like they are stamped out of cookie dough with crude welds, exposed wiring, etc.

Having said all that, many will think I talk heracy, but I'm happy with my 1998 JD CUT.

How many of you remember when "Made in Japan" equated to being junk? Japan actually renamed a town USA so they could say Made in USA

(
My experience at TSC is that they don't have the expertise to answer questions about owning/operating a screw.
John )

And they usually can't figure out if they have them "in stock" either! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
