PowerTrac - Made in America

[BAGTIC]

I believe Deutz now has a factory in Georgia but I don't know if the PT engine is made there because PT does not tell what Deutz model they use.

And anyway, the subject of the post is the Travel Channel Made in America program with John Ratzenberger, not the Travel Channel Made in A Foreign Country program with John Ratzenberger. If it was, I'd nominate my Toyota from Japan, my Chevy Impala from Canada and my candy from Europe.


Look, we all know that the days of completely American mass produced items are nearing an end. With a global economy and economics of supply and demand, we are going to have to live with the fact that pieces and parts and even completely assembled items are going to come from all over the world. That is never going to change. When we find a nice product that is made right here in our own country, we like to celebrate it. It's like cheering for the home team. Don't boo the opponent. That's bad sportsmanship. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Amen Mr. M.R.! If you look at my early posts on this forum i too was of the opinion one should mostly buy american. But in my yard I had at that time already two Kubota machines.

Not all of PTs parts are made in the USA! What is that R... it's predecessor somewhat larger flew against us in th ww ll when i still was a Swiss Cheese /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It almost slipped my mind but come to think of it my wife is an import. First rate all the way. No way I would ever trade her for a different model, "made in America' or not.

There is nothing wrong with that!! If what you really want or need is only made in Elsewhere, go for it!! It is your money to spend as you see fit! But, if you have the choice, buy American!!
