    I wouldn't say that there is NO difference...just not anything worth talking about as far as function/reliability...IMO.
    I can't say what that table cost, but generally they go $50-100.
    Go look at it, offer 'im $700-750...see what happens.

    Looks like the Huskees are made in the USA. I couldn't tell on the CountyLine.

    Dunno where the CL is made.
    I just did a quick peruse of CL Ohio and PA, looks like there are plenty of low hour Huskees out there for $750...so I wouldn't think its worth any more than that for sure...

    I feel that my Country Line is just a rebranded Speeco like the Huskees are. When I contacted them before picking up my 35 ton they never did say what was made here vs. overseas. If you go with the CL you will like it but, if you go with a Huskee you will like it as well.

    I wouldn't pay 820 for that Husky.
    Joe suburbanite probably bought it for one tree then let it sit in his garage. Plus the layout on that machine with the filter waiting to get smacked by a dropped split.

    Would you pay $750? I just verified that the CL is made in China and if the Huskee is US, that matters to me.

    You could talk yourself into paying more.
    How far of a drive to pickup is that huskee?
    These are towable but I wouldn't drag one down the interstate.

    Like I said, Huskee will not say what is made in US vs. what is made overseas. I don't have a problem paying extra for USA made but did not find any in the $1,300 range made in the states. Maybe I missed them.

    It's about an hour drive. Not around the corner but not a deal killer.


    I can only tell this Huskee was made in the states via the emblems that are clearly visable in the photos, including the B&S engine.[/quote]

    Then you have the whole issue of "made in the USA" or "assembled in the USA" from foreign parts...even Harley doesn't dodge that bullet.
