Davis, I hate to say it because we would be hurting someone elses economy, but you're right most of the cheep stuff comes from China & other depresed countries, it's not just plastic, it's clothes, tools and steel parts most of it is cheep and won't stand up. I think they buy most of the steel stuff back with in a year or so as scrap and start over.
One of the worst things is, with the wages their paid they need it all for food and can't afford the luxury of buying any of this junk they make and we end putting in the yard sale then the garbage.
I read an artical on a name brand US brazier company manufacturing in Mexico when the so called free trade started. All the employees were on assembly line piece work, sewing the same one piece all day long, and they couldn't buy one either. If there is a lobour dispute the company can re-locate and be set up within a month at full production in another country. And lets not forget Cathy Lee Gifford and Liz Clayborne with their $200+ blouses (something about child lobour m m m). I guess we should keep sending our $30 a month to insure a cheep labour force in the future for stuff.
I almost forgot this is a tractor forum, has anyone bought the Chinese tractor are they any good, I've only seen them from a drive by distance. Probably as close as I'll get.
I think we have already cut our own throat.
If we could just take a bit of greed off our own products we could afford them. I'd hate to pay $60-$80 thousand for a (home grown) new tractor and in a few years have to pay hundreds for all the electronic tests just because it won't start and it's one of several $400 electronic sensors. (made in China).
