This is a valid point and it illustrates an ant-chinese product sentiment that tytn will certainly have to overcome to have success in the american market. there will be little room for error when the first big wave of tytan tractors hits over here.
I guess this might be a concern of Mark Leonard, and it may be why he has taken since 2004 to really start looking at major growth. He better have all the bugs worked out first, because it will be easy for competitors to say he is selling crap from china.
time will tell, but i have a sense that the slow pace of this company might reflect something like this.
all my opinion of course, and i admit that i know nothing about stocks, I am just looking at this company from the perspective of a potential tractor buyer on the ground.
If it is possible to convince the american public that these products are quality, that the company is solvent, that parts are available, and that service is good, then this company might go somewhere. Mr. Leonard will not be given too many extra chances on screw ups however.
not a good feeling to have a non-fixable tractor if you have your hay down in a field and not yet in bales. Quality and service are a big deal.
