Thanks for the replies.....would still like more ! I come from the manufacturing side....come from farming background...worked on farm for number of years while going to school, and then to work as engineer of ag equipment company. Must say I was disappointed with the pricing on some of the equipment that's on the market. Because I've been on both sides of the manufacturing of equipment (engineering,costing, and actual manufacturing), I still have a fair idea of what a certain piece of equipment would cost to make....and I guess while looking there needs to be a happy medium. Good quality, but at a resonable price. Obviously, I don't have the high overhead of a large man. facility, but I obviously also don't have the financial resources that a company like that provides (to a degree). Some of the prices that I've been quoted for a lousy landscape rake for my tractor were absolutely crazy. Sure I like quality too, but I must admit, unless your going to use this daily (which I don't believe most do, unless your retired), I just can't see in springing for the high-doller stuff. Now on the other end....I don't want to buy cheapy stuff either...so, back to my "happy medium"....resonable price, with good quality. I absolutely enjoy building steel equipment in my spare time, and would make this into a living, rather than the fun that I'm having now at a different company...not to be named :) Thanks Dave
