Go big or go home!

Seriously what is Butler going to run you and its in a cargo van. You can stand up in a Transit. Well not you Chris but most of us.

Blue Prochem owners are excluded from discussing modern equipment.

I only priced the SS and HM clutch drives this last time and neither were anywhere close to 66k

I priced a Butler box last year and it was going to be 90k plus

Well good grief, Taco. Can we get some oranges to go with those apples?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Sure can once you "splain it to me Lucy".

Call me when you buy a front end loader.

That must be one super expensive generator!

So to replace the Air conditioner mount on a older CDS (1970s design) HM had to put in both a Generator and an Electric motor along with all the same parts as the CDS. Also they had to design, engineer and test the new X-drive. This has been a huge undertaking and it will be probably 1,000 units at $10k more than a standard CDS before they get to break even.

It is obvious HM has made a major financial commitment to Stay in the game.
