Long rifle
The long rifle, also known as longrifle, Kentucky rifle, or Pennsylvania rifle, was one of the first commonly used rifles for hunting and warfare. It is characterized by an unusually long barrel, which is widely believed to be a largely unique development of American rifles that was uncommon in European rifles of the same period.
The longrifle is an early example of a firearm using rifling, spiral grooves in the bore. This gave the projectile, commonly a round lead ball, a spiraling motion, increasing the stability of the trajectory. A more stable trajectory meant dramatically improved accuracy over the more commonly available smooth bore muskets also used in the period. Rifled firearms saw their first major combat use in the American colonies during the Seven Years war, and later the American Revolution in the eighteenth century.

The trade journal Appliance Manufacturer projected growth in the market for consumer lawn and garden products in 1998 of 2.9 percent to almost 8 million units. The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) predicted increases in shipments of walk-behind power mowers in 1998 of 2.5 percent; decreases in riding mowers of 10 percent; growth for lawn and garden tractors of 6.3 percent; and increases in tiller shipments of 3.6 percent. Overall, shipments rose 5 percent to 7.7 million units for 1998.
Sales of tractors and combines were up significantly in 1996, according to the Equipment Manufacturers Institute. The strength of the farm economy, rising net farm income and a decline in the ratio of debt to assets, contributed to farmers' willingness to buy agricultural equipment. However, depressed grain and livestock prices led to a decrease in North American retail demand for farm equipment in 1999. Hans Becherer, chairman and CEO of Deere & Co. expected a reduction of 25 percent or more. Since the early 1970s, the number of U.S. farms has decreased by one-third, from 3 million to 2 million.
