Well, I guess I indicated the rebuilt tractors were better than new ones, but really, that wasn't what I meant to say. These rebuilt tractors had the appearance of a real fine remanufacturing job like a restoration job a classic automobile would get. The workmanship looked real good to me, it was "nice work" -- and it was done in Indiana, by people getting paid how much an hour I have no idea. New tractors I have seen are mostly remarkable examples of engineering and are designed very well. It's true they are infested with electronic gadgetry and gimmics, but most of it is for some purpose. It's too bad plastic is so maligned simply because of the poor quality of so much of it we see in everyday life. For many years "potmetal" or diecast metals were in the same catagory. This all seems to happen because of most manufacturer's desire to control costs by using cheaper materials than they should. Cutting costs to improve profitability has damaged the quality and function of many products, but we still see it today and it will never end. When the best of materials is needed, be it a plastic, a metal, a lubricant, or a fuel even, modern America can provide it. We have to import some raw materials it's true, and we do as needed, always will too, as long as we can buy it with money. If America ever runs out of money it's all over.
