Troy Bilt is prolly one of the better Chinese brands.

Don't worry about the trade deficit, your grandchildren can pay it off.

You mean we should buy American? The last John Deere I bought had a
Kawasaki engine.
Honda engines sold in America are almost all made in America. Kaws
are not as far as I know - but you can't say just by the name where
something is made any more.

My car is 48% US parts and assembled in the US. Last time I was
looking at forklift trucks, I narrowed the choice to the Japanese
brand made in the US or the US brand with the Japanese engine.
