County Line Tiller....

I looked at one at TSC a couple weeks ago and it clearly said "Made in India" on the top.
CountyLine is a TSC brand name, and they (TSC) sources items from around the world and sells under their house brand.

TSC must have found a cheaper supplier in India.
In the past, TSC branded tillers have been manufactured by Tarter Gate Farm and Ranch Equipment, of Dunnville, Ky.

Many American companies source their gearboxes from China or india. The rest of the machine is made in the U.S.A. My 48 inch is made in the U.S.A, with a Chinese gearbox. But the 60 inch does say imported on their website.

Perhaps TSC is now using "made in India" gearboxes.

My Landpride cutter is made in Kansas, but the gearbox comes from China.

Ended up with the 6 foot version. Thanks for all the advice and input.
