Are you implying that "the South" has cornered the market on lousy tools?...
...Don't even get me started about the crap (lousy tools) that comes out of the northern states...in a lot of cases I would rather have chinese made tools...

quality control (basic topic of thread) is what killed the American car manufacturers...the unions sapped the life out of the companies and the employees (for the most part) became complacent with $75/hr wages and bountiful benefits...it was only a matter of time...

...And the guy from bp wants us to believe "they care about the little people"

not saying anything bad about the south.Living in n.Mn. everthing is south for me.I in no way was I running down the south,I go there in the winter. Geez,too many people assume the worst.Last I knew all the states north,south,east and west were the united states.just curious,who makes lousy tools?

Ken... what's funny is that product in the picture is a Tarter Gate piece and not a King Kutter piece.

The only Tarter Mfg. equipment we sell is Livestock handling, Roto tillers, Aerators and phasing out the Tarter Rotary cutters in favor of Hawkline brand (The old IMC/International "Taylor") that has served us well over the last 25 years. We have 20 wholesale companies we deal with and "pick and choose" as needed. Ken Sweet

go into 'harbor freight' and take your pick...

personally, I think Kobalt tools (sold by Lowes) are horribly lousy (quality) tools...not exactly sure where they are made but they claim they're all made in the USA...they are some of the crappiest tools I have ever used...

bought my Carry all from TSC in 2002. The Carry All and a Gate cost $108, I didn't break out the costs in my records. Mine was all welded. I have a wood bottom and front I bold on, but currently they are off and I am using a pallet.

"Perfect example of your thread on Made in America and the price. That KingKutter Carry All is $100 more than a TSC Carry All.

Why spend $100 more on such a simple attachment.?? I won't."

I not sure how to do the quotes.

That one Ted has it different than mine. Is it a Quick attach Ted? Mine I will have to modify to make it work.

Pick and choose method is a very good method.

Maybe that is with Free Shipping? Ken Sweet

slash pine,I believe we,ve gotten off on the wrong foot.I never and will never say anything bad about any area of our country,I love it all.I also will never say anything bad about the folks on this web site,I enjoy talking to you guys too much to do that.Harbor frieght tools are for the most part made in China.If you,ve seen any of my past posts you,ll see I,m very pro America and hate the fact that so much crap is China made.My bid buster happened to be made down south some where,and had it been made in Minnesota I,d have been just as disappointed in the weld quality and would have noted that too.If you honestly feel I,v said any thing out of line,I,m sorry.Didn,t mean to:eek:Dave

I never studied the picture[weld verses not a weld] but will say a fillit weld on one side[if its a good weld] will hold as much as the metal will hold[like said never looked at picture] just saying sometimes you don't need a all around weld,bridges are made to some extent like this,you just got to beat the steel when you're welding,7018 rod has 70,000 per sq,,so.
