Hmm... things aren't lining up. What am I supposed to do if my fuel is looking like that red line?
AEV did this with their wheels.... no one wanted to pay the USA wages, land costs, utilities cost to support "Made in the USA".
Talk to TrailReady. They've done a great job keeping it in the US. Their customers tend to be okay with the higher prices though.
lawnmower won't last 2 summers where the one our parents used was handed down to them by their parents and still works today.
Interesting story. I actually had 2 of these mowers and got sick of not being able to repair them. I found an old guy 5 hours away who rebuilds Lawn Boys from all generations and sells them. I ended up paying like new prices for a Gold Series but it runs like nobody's business and makes mowing enjoyable to me. The 32:1 gas mix is also fun in a quirky kind of way.
There are still some of us who do pay more for the better quality stuff, with the desire that it be made in the U.S. our first choice.
I think we could all benefit if we looked at what products other countries make better than us rather than be so insistent that we make them ourselves. There are some products that I'd nearly always avoid the US option given the choice.
