    Why do most people preferred other brands than China made equipment?

    From what I know, they translate each of the Chinese characters to its corresponding English word.

    Why do most people preferred other brands than China made equipment?

    Yeah I've heard a lot about Tadano cranes, and Liugong of China is coming up. Special tool, the words on the picture aren't clear. I know that not all Chinese products are substandard, some of them are indeed of good quality. But it's the impression they've got because of so many news on...

    "Jobs lost to China subsidization and unfair dumping.”

    bolt thrower's right. It's in the hands of your consumers. Chinese products will not prosper there if they are not demanded. Other options would be consumer info.. So this could be a start for you, even if it starts from a little portion of your community.. By providing information, you can...

    Paint matching on equipment?

    Have you tried ACE Hardware? It carries all those colors in spray cans in their Rust Stop line. Might be easier and cheaper since it's like $3 per can. They are some cool colors.;) www.komatpillar.com

    Why do most people preferred other brands than China made equipment?

    I think that's another problem with equipment made in China. You can't easily find parts for it. And it's not easy to change the parts with other brands. I had accompanied my sister on the market yesterday, and we have passed by electric pianos for sale. They are very cheap, ranging from 37...

    Equipment of the future will have?

    If most of the work will be automated and done by remote-controlled or gps-powered machines, these would require less manpower.. and would mean less jobs for people. If this time will come, maybe a lot will be laid-off from construction companies, unless he is self-employed.. A human may still...

    Why do most people preferred other brands than China made equipment?

    I'm afraid the buzz about this 'reputation' thing with China hits again. Check out this news: http://ph.news.yahoo.com/afp/20090528/tap-health-china-safety-clothing-toys-8d4ea94.html They're getting it hard for themselves.:beatsme www.komatpillar.com

    What's your favorite?

    What is the world's most expensive heavy equipment?

    yeah, I think you're right!:woohoo Because even if the equipment is expensive, but by using it, we get money that through time had paid our capital, then it's still worth it.;) To spend for something that we think we'll not use frequently, I think it's better to rent for it...:beerchug...
