Homier (of traveling hardware store fame) rebadges small Jinmas and sells them as FarmPros. Any implements they're selling that are wearing FarmPro decals will be Chinese as well. You get what you pay for.

Somebody bump ol' Jeff'ry, apparently he's got a skip. ;)

Mr. Haney was a funny old fella with a very funny voice, he drove around door to door in an old stake body truck, he had a pull down window blind as a sign, and every week he was hucking something different.

Sheesh, some peoples just ain't got no edjumukashun at all!! ;)

See the link below.

Best of luck.

I bought a Farmpro bush hog, took it home and spent a couple of hours putting it together, only to have the blades hit the deck. I took everything apart, tightened every bolt on it (some of the gearbox bolts were loose by a couple of turns) and eventually figured out that the blades' holes for the pivot bolt were too big. Even as tight as I could tightened them, they're still shoulder bolts, so that didn't help. Took it back the next day.

Bought a LandPride bush hog and have been very happy with it. 'Course it was twice as pricey, but like Greg said, you get what you pay for (and sometimes not even that much).

Best of luck,
Mark ....
