Nobody mentions that American steel is far superior, welds up much better, and passes exray at a much better rate. In the long run less expensive.
BINGO!! We have a winner!
You are the first person who has mentioned this, besides my yelling at the TV. People just don't seem to understand that all steel is not equal.
I promise everyone, that if you were to talk to a maintenance superintendent at a large mine, and suggest that the next CAT D11 tractor was going to come from Brazil, made with Brazilian steel, he would have a stroke!
