PowerTrac - Made in America

[DML]

Not to be nit picky, and not that I care at all, but there is one point to be made about PowerTrac being made in America.

Yes, it is all assembled in America, but I don't think that the engine is.

This is a point made frequently in motorcycle circles that some guys really have a hang up on. I am waiting on a motorcycle that I ordered from Flyrite. These motorcycles are assembled in Texas. On a chopper site that I frequent, Flyrite has been frequently criticized because the RevTech engine is actually made in Korea.

But hey, I love my PowerTrac, and I'm sure that I'll love my Flyrite! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Fourteen,
That PDF file also contained a good manufacturers view of will-fit filters

To be fair, the Robin engines and the Deutz engines that are offered in the other models are probably not made in America. Some of the other parts probably aren't, either. But all in all, Power Trac is an American owned, American operated company that makes great products with American labor in America(thats 5X America for those of you keeping score). However, what drove me to buy the Power Trac was the machine itself. Great concept. Saves me labor and saves me money. That it was made in the good old USA is just icing on the cake. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I want my PT-425 to have only the best! Therefore, my favorite oil filter is the Amsoil SDF57.

They may cost a little more, but they seem to be of exceptional quality. I do a lot of bargain hunting, but there are times when it appears to be justified to spend some of those savings on something worthwhile, even if it isn't the cheapest!! My goal is high value, and cheap crap is still crap!!

Thought I would bring this thread back up as we have a number of new PowerTrac owners that may like to give their suggestions to having Made In America show do one on PowerTrac. If interested go to the first part of the thread which will give you directions.

Thanks Paul:

I just posted...

BTW: There is very little of anything that is "made in america" in it's entirety now a days. Even Harley Davidson puts some overseas components in their cycles. Does this bother me, no, because the company is an American owned company employing local residents to produce a quality product.

I have no problem at all in having a Robin engine installed in my PT. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
