The Jake Rake

You and your destructive testing can be the only thing that will determine this. You need to make up one and run it behind successivly bigger tractors in all types of soil till you tear it up.

Sounds like a good plan. :thumbsup:

That's a big stretch. How many people are going to think in terms of "continents" when they see that claim? America is America. Canada is Canada.

By that logic, something made in Brazil can be labeled "Made in America" with no problem. NOT.

Anyone who is educated would not find this to be a "stretch". If you are going to call him out and correct him you need to know what you are talking about.

I would leave the webpage as is unless Jake starts building these implements in China.

What if China renames a little industrial town over there "USA" and starts labeling all their stuff as such.

Actually, educated people do call that a 'stretch'

I applaud the boy's efforts, but if it says 100% USA, and parts are sourced from ...........outside the boundaries of the USA.............then it ain't 100% USA.

Educated people realize that the United States of America ends at the Canadian border............just as it ends at the Mexican border.

The ad doesn't say "made in the USA", it says "American made" and "made in America" check out the link to Jake's website.

Living in New Mexico as I do now it is amazing how many people don't know it is a state in the USA.

Yes, the web site does say American made but it has a stylized icon of the US flag and eagle outline. When people see this they think "Made in the USA". That said, I think we shouldn't split too fine a hair on his "Made" in America claim. The key word is "Made". So, he buys a couple of minor parts that are manufactured in another country and puts them into an assembly that he "makes" in the USA? As his web site says the rake is constructed, welded, powder coated and assembled in America. Thus his "Made in America" claim is good. I say he keep it as is.

New Mexico...better than Old Mexico. I saw that on a bumper sticker somewhere.
