Quality After Market Safety Switches

For decades safety switches have been a pain in the **s. Not limited to lawn/garden tractors but in more recent years the big tractors are involved.

Wouldn't you be mad as hell if you paid a quarter million for a tractor and in less than 30 days from the dealer it wouldn't crank because of a inferior safety switch that keeps you out of the field for 2 or 3 days and possibly more.

Not to mention all the money that's spent on all the wrong parts - solenoids - starters - batteries - etc. that can't be returned because the dealing seller said "WELL, THAT'S ELECTRIC and THAT CAN'T BE RETURNED".


So this brings up the question - why hasn't a US company jumped on the band wagon and solved this problem?

I don't like it any better then you. It's big brother government protecting us from ourselves. All it is doing is costing us more money. All the sue happy happy idiots that can't keep there hands out of a spinning mower blade. In my opinion if you stick your hand into the mower when it is running you need to have a hard lesson not to do that and not be able to sue over it. We wouldn't need to pay for a lot of troublesome switches we don't need.

We scrap perfectly good old machines because our insurance will not let us sell it with by passed or no safety's. We take it in on trade in and PAY the customer to make a sale.... But end up with a junk yard each fall.
