Yep...They sure are...
Just like all the American money invested in Cuba pre-1959...
Where are the cigars?
Sounds tasty...
It is!
Clemmons and Berenthal have hired an engineering firm to build the first tractors based on the simple designs of the Allis-Chalmers G model that was made in the United States from 1948 to 1955. It was specially tailored to the type of small family farms that have mostly disappeared in the United States, but remain the standard in Cuba.I am shocked. I love that tractor but I would only have the original built in the town I was born, Gadsden, Alabama, in the year I was born.
My recipe, made it once off the cuff and turned out fantastic! Have not made it since. Make it one cup on the sherry, almost to cover the meat.
Thanks, I appreciate the tip and the recipe.
“the law of unintended consequences strikes again.”
I don’t think this was unintended at all...I wonder what under the table incentives were given to this company to build in Cuba, of all places.
One reason for making in cuba I would guess is they can make them using old engine design and not worry about the polluting stuff and all that for small farms and gardens will work great
More like about 10 HP. Modern garden tractors (lawn mowers) have 25 HP easily. This thing didn’t sell 60 years ago, so why would it sell now?
You would think more modern stuff cheap from China would be what the folks want.
China is Cuba’s #2 trade partner after Venezuela.
The tractor company from Alabama is assuming that risk on their own free will.Maybe, but what do you want to bet the taxpayers and other local citizens subsidized the company's profits through property tax breaks, utility rates etc. so they would be able to "risk on their own free will"?
I’m sure Hugo Chavez taught them a thing or two. Wait until you see the profits begin THEN move in. For the common good, of course. After all, they didn’t build that!
That’s not a tractor— it’s a go-cart with large wheels. Have a question about the powertrain, PTO, HP and much else.
The “investment” owners background should, of course, be immediately suspect, as to their political baksheesh kickback to the dhimorats.
Alabama? Really- they couldn’t sell or make enough in Alabama. Not vs. guarenteed US paid for advance orders. LOL.
Incredible. I know Tuff-Bilt. This ripoff took some balls— the design is Tuff-Bilts.
Someone, an attorney needs to sue the crap out of the “investor” lying dhimorats from San Francisco who have stolen the design.
Patents for the Tuff- Bilt? Don’t know. If this man is getting ripped off for his life’s work— it is SOOOO typical of these lying liberal weenies. Who rip off high tech companies also— it’s what weasels do.
“Oh, then that makes it okay!!! /s”
That’s right. Because you know you live in a free country when your government can tell you what you can build, where you can build it, and to whom you may sell it.
The Allis Chalmers 1948 G Model, which Tuff=Bilt copied?

its a very small tractor by today's standards for small farming and it might find a spot in the market in that part of the world
That’s an IN-YOUR-FACE to Trump.
