Made in America

[chrisy]

Hubby went out this afternoon to get himself a new Chainsaw, as his one had ceased up never to go again. He looked at quite a few and came home with the one he thought he liked the best. I checked it out and everything was there suprise, suprise, as most things you buy have something missing and it's a trip back to the store. And when looking I noticed where it was made thinking China no dought, AND quess what? it was 'Made in America' Oregon, yeah!. That is also the name of the make of machine.
Then I thought do you have things that say 'Made in Britain' as we can't find any here.

SORRY

Didn;t know Oregon made chainsaws. They make chains and bars and all of the cutting stuff (and safety equipment) but never heard of an Oregon chainsaw.

I have a couple of things made in Britain. Sure didn't think we manufactured anything much here though.

 

[alacattleman]

I'm have never heard of an Oregon saw either, like you said they have great bars and accessories but I have never heard of them making saws.... wonder who makes it for them....Stihl? Does it have "Oregon" on just the bar and some other brand on the motor?

To answer your question I do not recall seeing anything made in Britain other than candy maybe.

Ain't that the truth! LOL!

In past I've had Poulan (aka Sears, etc.) chainsaw, and riding lawn mowers...piece of sheet. Keep them running year around..lol. Easy to repair, and repair, and repair... I think they are considered to be "disposable products"...

Several years ago I went with Stihl chainsaw and weedeater...still running...like the Everready Bunny... This year I dumped my last remaining Poulan mower for a John Deere...finally got wise...

It said on the box for export only. And it has been turned on and off a countless number of times this afternoon and took down two trees in minutes. He seems pleased with it so far, + it has a years guarantee, If my Son hadn't took the saw to the box and shreeded it I would have taken a photo and posted. on the manual it only has the British importers name on it. On the plastic sides and the blade it says Oragon?

 

[Alan]

Oragon?

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: OR"E"GON.... That's Oregon... no A in Oregon.... Just kidding :lol: How can you remember my Ducks!! :lol: :lol:

Alan from Oragon.

Do all the new riding mowers have that PITA rediculous button you have to push so you can mow in reverse?

That design is to wear out the levers so you have to buy a new one sooner.

Worse than the lawn mowers is the dad blaim gas can nozzles. Someone ought to be shot.

The last one I got has a button you push to let the gas out, works ok ,but if you let it set in the sun it builds up pressure. The first time I used it I had gas all over myself and everthing else.

Get a couple of the old waer heater leak plugs, drill a hole in the gas can and screw the plug in to keep it from spilling, take it out to get the fuel out of the can.

No they don't. I have a Husqvarna 48" riding mower that has an ignition key position which allows you to go in reverse with the blade still turning. Rented another brand without this key position and it was a pain! The husky is a nice riding mower. jmho. Jim.

Some farm toys are made in Britan.
