Just for shyts and giggles, I started looking for potato diggers and tillers on line. So a chinlee site pops up with every thing i was looking for tiller harvester and planter. Now I am interested cause the prices are a lot lower than anybody else,,, yes I know chinlee junk,, But the more I looked in to it, shipping, sales tax and import duties well suddenly this junk aint so cheap any more !!! And at the same price or with in a couple buck or what I can get here. I wonder how many people get sucked in not reading the fine print,, ahh well Yall have a wonderful day

Skeets you do realize that these days the only thing that is cheap in this life is you and I my friend. Also pretty sure if you where to check that damn near 100 percent of everything we buy now has foreign parts in it, and yes even your beloved Harleys.
OH yeah I know I guess what I was trying to say was the price after everything is tacked on it about the same as the prices if I buy it here. And yeah I have seen some HD parts made in,,, dare I say it,,, India,, It is a world economy and quality is iffy on just about anything any more.
Sadly it seems human life has become a very very cheap commodity any more.
Hows it going brother up in the new diggins
Yep the new way is hard for us old guys to grasp most of the time, just be happy you were born when you were. Things are going not so bad my friend, I'll send you off a message soon.
What did you do in the end...buy one or make one. I'm half way thru making one at the moment. It's a basic that clamps to a 3 point linkage. But it will be fine for what I need.

I bought an International Harvester spud digger from local scrap yard, $50, didn't have the front wheels BUT everything else was nice. 5 months later FOUND the 'front wheels' section at the scrap yard...got them for free. Took 3-4 days of playing with it to get it 'tuned up'. was going to use for garlic but that deal didn't happen. NOW (spring) is THE time to hit scrap yards...leave name ,number, talk nice and polite ,you may get one as 'scrappers' clear out old farms.
