Default Briggs & Stratton moving some production to China

I sell and service machines that are now manufactured in china.

I no longer care to sell them the quality varies continiously and the
chinese build parts have serious quality issues.

I loaned a older american buillt machine that for a variety of
reasons remained for 2 years. the customer wanted to buy a new machine
from me......... i refused to sell; far too much of a hassle too far
away. all calls would of been warranty issues. and a tough place to
visit - a GM assembly plant.

it took time to pick up my loaner, the customer ended up buying a unit
directly from the manufacturer.

he said your loaner didnt break once in 2 years, the brand new machine
has broke 6 times in 2 months I am getting good at fixing it

i said thats why i didnt sell you a new machine. they are made in
china.

I can get a better machine buyng a old junker on E Bay and rebuilding
it

did you know hershey foods moved nearly all candy production overseas?
much to brazil.....

thats why the economic recovery has been so poor, the super rich
republicans have gutted american manufacturing........

things are destined to get worse
