Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

LCT and Loncin are getting their names out there.  Now Toro is going with Loncin.  Ariens has LCT on all three of their Sno-Tek blowers.  Husqvarna has the new revived LCT Snow King (Tecumseh "revival") on some of their blowers.  So who's best?  Will Briggs end up putting engines only on their own Simplicity, JD, Snapper models?

Too easy to blame Chinese and ethanol for everything wrong with OPE, as if America is the only country that knows how to do anything right.

As if bargain hungry Walmart/Costco/HD customer has nothing to do with it.   Aint' going to get anything cheap coming out of Japan or USA.

I'm surprised there aren't more countries hating the Western world for the lifestyle, glut, and appetite.

Agree with your comments aa335. 

If we North Americans weren't in everyone's back yard stirring the pot, we'd have a lot less animosity against us.  People have to wake up and understand that the military industrial complex supported by certain politicians needs conflict and wars to keep them in business.  Shut down the MIC and we will have a lot less strife in the world. 

The problem with that however, is the fact that the military industrial complex is now one of the biggest employers in the USA.   Taken them out and the jobless rate will go through the roof.  It's a very insidious economic dependence that will keep us sending our sons and daughters off to die in foreign lands just to fill the coffers of a certain few billionaires, all in the name of a "good cause" of course.   If we kept our noses out of other people's business, they wouldn't be trying to blow us up all the time. 

Apologize for going off topic.
