I wish more folks were willing to buy the American made products we sell at Redline, but I understand the price differential is a big deal. As of 6/5/24, the 2200HD is $3799 delivered, and the Handy RAM with sides and a vise is $6359 delivered. For a lot of folks, that's a hard pill to swallow, especially if you don't have the extra money at all.
Exactly. We buy equipment from companies overseas that already make a nice product and private label it. John Deere does the same thing. Look at any 30 hp or smaller John Deere tractor and you'll see "Yanmar" cast into the side of the block. It's a Yanmar tractor, not a John Deere. Everyone does it.
