Identify hydraulic cylinder

[bc]

Makes sense… they can’t exactly use Kawasaki cylinders on them because no one could afford to buy the loader. It costs so much to make stuff in this country that we literally have to build sub-standard stuff (especially regarding chrome) if we build it in house to stay competitive (and hope it lasts long enough to get through the warranty period).

I was talking to a Bush Hog customer service rep about getting a leak fixed under warranty on my 276 brush cutter. He couldn’t believe it was leaking, he said ( direct quote) “ that’s our best gearbox “.

It’s a Comer, built in Italy.

It really is a nice box , in fact the whole mower is top notch. But… we can’t build a gearbox in America for it.

It has a rough dark gray look to the rods. Almost like powder coat.

The EPA ran off a lot of the chrome platers that used to be around. Just like the dry cleaners. Too much trouble with stuff getting spilled and dumped on the ground.
