Has anybody had experience with China Imports. I have the JM6 chipper, was wondering about other implements, like a bailer, plough, tiller, etc.

I recently bought a TOPRO 5' rotary cutter (bush hog) and it looked just like the King Kutter model. However, the quality was awful. The blades flexed up and down so much on the stump jumper shoulder bolts that the blades would hit the deck when I drove over anything. I took it apart, put it back together, and the same thing happened. So, I took it back the next day and got a full refund. Then I went and spent twice that amount for a LandPride cutter with a slip clutch. I have been very impressed with it. I may have had the one bad TOPRO cutter out of many, but the experience I had prevented me from trying again. That may not be the case with all Chinese implements, but the old adage applies (moreso than withdomestic implements, IMO, because you have a name brand that is dependent upon quality for company longevity)...Caveat emptor (buyer beware). ....

Don't know what happened to the first time I posted this, guess I have to try again. My experience has been the opposite. I recently purchased a light duty 60" Futon rotary cutter for $470 - out the door. Expecting a noisy clatter, I was pleasantly surprised at actually how quiet the Futon was - for a rotary cutter. It's no louder than my 84" First Choice finish mower. Got a few dozen hours on the Futon now, it works like a champ, easy to work on, and - surprisingly - even has a vented fill cap.
