4x4American
Got Sawdust?
Yamaha and Honda have assembly plants in the USA. Ya know what, them nips sure did design a good wheeler. I prefer buying American, preferably local. Tools, clothes, food, boots, ammo, etc. It is getting increasingly difficult to find things made in USA anymore, so when I do, I'll spend the extra money to support my country. The first thing I check before I look into buying something is where it's made. Other times, you get what you can, and then pay tax on it. Some things are made really well from other countries. The swedes and the germans design great chainsaws, and quite a bit of them are made here in the states. If a company makes an excellent product that I have a use for, and I buy it and use it and it does what it's supposed to do, and it lasts a long time, then I'm happy with it. I don't like cheap poorly thought out made to break junk. The Polaris we have at the farm, well it has a lot of problems, I guess I do have to take into account that it gets beat on decent....When I got the big bear, it was a smoking deal, and a good wheeler, so I went for it. If I found a polaris that didn't have an auto trans and were a good deal, I'd have bought that. My snow mochine however is made in the USA. One thing I am not liking about the USA made things is that they're all automatics. Pickups, atvs, utvs, even eaton-fuller is producing automatics. You can't buy a new USA branded pickup with a manual trans anymore. That's disappointing to me....anyways...guess I'd better sign off and get back to real life.
