Pallet fork attachment

[Little Timmy]

Went and picked up a new Land Pride PFL 3048 pallet fork attachment today for my L5460. Was seriously thinking of buying a cheaper one online. But I decided I’d rather pay more and get U.S. steel and manufacturing. And Land Pride has 0% financing for 2 years. Although there’s a $95 doc fee and another $15 fee. I should’ve just gotten it with the tractor a few weeks ago and had it all on one contract. The 1.99 % for 72 months is probably about the same as buying separately at the 0% but paying $110 in fees. But in any case , will be so nice to have it and make the tractor much more useful around my place.

No where on Landpride or Kubota's site does it say or infer that Implements are made in the US or that they are made with US steel.
They could very well be made in another country with another countries steel.

Everything Attachments did CLAIM that they used ONLY USA steel.
Is EA all gone now?

this is rather comical...

To ensure quality, we have NO CHINA MADE attachments on our entire website!

This just means EA doesn't import fully assembled attachments from China, can easily come from other countries. Or units are shipped in several pieces and 'assembled in USA'

another line..

We use top quality American steel on all attachments that come from our new factory located here in Conover, NC.

ONLY those attachments made at the NEW factory will contain American steel, but no mention of WHERE the steel comes from. Non 'American ' steel could be used at the other factories....

I just bought the Titan US made forks and they surprised me for the price. Poor FedEx guy that delivered them.

OK, I edited my reply, about EA claiming 'us steel in stuff'......

Also

'Made in USA' might not be what you think. Certain products , can have that logo BUT not 100% Made in USA'. When you look at the federal laws, it gets very confusing.... some items need a certain percentage to qualify, some don't, percentages vary.........some say 'from USA and foreign countries'.....

In their 23-24 full line catalog they say they have multiple manufacturing facilities across central Kansas and employ hundreds of Kansans.
in any case , it’s better than buying all the off brand stuff on Amazon , eBay, etc.
that a person knows is likely Chinese crap with inferior steel.
I never buy off Amazon. I refuse to make that bald bastard / butthole any wealthier.
A year or more ago , I bought an “import “ motorcycle lift. Wasn’t a cheap one , about $2,000. What a pile of crap. I didn’t even put a bike in it and sold it at a big loss just to get rid of it. Then researched and bought a 100% American lift. Built with true U.S. citizens and U.S. steel. Cost about double but it’s so far superior . Check them out, it’s HMC.
