The Jake Rake

[Johndeere3720]

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.

good point

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.

I think this sums it up.

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

 

[CompactTractorFan]

Seem pretty reasonable. :thumbsup:

 

[Johndeere3720]

Pretty good prices. :thumbsup: Shipping rates arent too bad either.

Must be, they keep crossing the river.:laughing:

I was up in your area couple of weeks ago, went to Golden to pickup a new Siberian Husky. I really like CO.

 

[mjncad]

You were pretty darn close to me Steve. I used to work in Golden.

I feel sorry for you horses. Looks like this is a crippling machine. You do understand that the gap between your digging teeth is creating ridges on the base of the arena? You can even see those ridges in the pictures you posted. Those ridges create inconsistent ridges on the base. Your poor horse will never know if its foot fall will be on a hill or a valley. Looks like nothing more than the 50 other drags that are nothing more than dirt stirrers and gimmics to try and get some garage welder his 15 minutes of fame. Do true horseman a favor and keep this in your own garage.

 

[Johndeere3720]

I do understand your concern about my product and let me assure you I am addressing that problem. The Jake rake goes through a lot of testing to ensure a good product and we understand that not everyone will like our product. We are working on a solution to your out coming.

Gee, nice first post

 

[MtnViewRanch]

Gee, nice first post

I guess that he was very concerned, or he just likes to make a nice entrance when he first enters someplace. I would like to see the finished ground how he thinks that it should be and with what implement that was used to get it in that condition.

 

[Johndeere3720]

Yeah guys, I dont know why people have to be that way. Thanks for your support Kenny and Brian.

No matter how smooth it is, it is only that way until the first horse steps on it. Then it is full of shallow holes.
