Your Advices for New Rotary Cutter Design

[Exchanger]

Gee, something about posting with anonymity makes folks less...... Most, if not all the products we buy come with parts made everywhere in the world like Ford states, even if its says "made in the USA". I'd like to thank Exchanger for having the foresight to ask "what does your mower need?" no matter what country he resides in.

Thank you for your support. Like i said before, i am here for one reason. No need to explain something else.

I guess Like Exchanger pointed out multiple times, I'm just one of those horrid nationalists.

Seriously ? I've never say this.

I hope Exchanger post pictures of the final or even prototype product and lists it's features. I also hope it's NOT the cheapest on the market, I never consider the cheapest of anything. I look for value, and durability (lasting value). I own Bush Hog and Woods brand rotary cutters.

I do not care who his company is or where he is from.

I normally buy as much "made in USA as possible" but I don't have a problem with a company looking for new design advice regardless where it will be made. If the made in USA companies aren't asking for our advice, maybe this company will drive new designs and the others will follow. That helps us all.

That's a tough call. Our North American cars are better today in part because the Japanese taught us how to improve something we used to dominate. Still, Japan used to host so-called "scientific conferences" where they took copious notes on foreign research while disclosing little of their own. There's a weasel component to it that seems offensive to me.

Exactly. "Give me all of your info, but I refuse to share mine."
and, if you dont share your info or ask questions, it is nationalism.

Freewill is 100% correct. My next cutter will be 100% MADE IN THE USA

When I sold my Behlen cutter, quality, heft, and where it was made is what sold it. :thumbsup:

I have to go take care of other things. In my place, this gentleman will be responding to all of the OPs concerns voiced herein:

So far, I'm not convinced there even is a company or an engineer and not just a kid doing a high school homework project.

We've seen nothing to indicate there is a product at all, only generic replies like 'we hear you', 'good ideas', 'we're listening', 'we appreciate', 'ours will be best....' and so on.

A valid thread would have started out with an introduction to the person and the company, some brief history of other products, maybe even a prototype sketch or photo.

Or is it just a phishing expedition?

It's ironic that you are asking a member to disclose their location, name of their employer, etc.
