    I ended up getting the Stinger 66". Buy once, cry once.

    I really like the root style with dual lids for odd shapes. Made (well) in the USA. Dealer was awesome, I didn't have to pay shipping, and it came wil flat face couplers already. Worked out to be about the same price to my door as the Homestead that was my second choice.

    I looked real hard at the stinger. The ones I was looking hot on were the; Iron Craft, MTL, Catawba, Stinger, Homestead. Many of them had good qualities. Quick attach had some real nice stuff, but they didn’t get back with me with a quote. I Understand they are real pricey $$$$…. I REFUSE to buy any Chinese S#!T. I’m sure for some light stuff and what I’m going to do, it may have been fine. I want to keep my/our money here in America! It’s hard to do, as all of you know but something like this, Americans are going to get my business even though my Tractor is Japanese. goshdarnit, sadly so many things we buy anymore is made else where!
