"Porkhole" LOL

It's funny how in some cases we talk about having light weight equipment as a good thing... And then other times we are drooling and supposed to think "oh cool, look at 400 pounds just in a couple of EMPTY metal boxes"

Yes, I know they are extra sturdy and last forever but it's still funny..

Same as when some equipment could be fixed from a local hardware store as a "cheap junk" but when you had a Judson, then it was "nice, you can just fix it with parts from a local hardware store..."

Can tell ya that sofa is nice and comfy, took a nice nap there recently.
Was just like being at home...

Gracious hosts too, they brought me a great lunch from a local restaurant.

I'm sure aluminum would be much lighter but then someone would say why wouldn't they make it in stainless? I think when you make large investments like that you want value regardless of weight.

As far as the Judson, not all small manufacturers are equal in what they build and their track record. The Judson brand has proven itself over time, while others seem build and learn on your dime.


After seeing the Sapphire and Butler tours you can see how much more thought and engineering go into building a consistently high quality product than just throwing components onto a frame. Top notch companies!

 

[Zee]

I know Doc, I wasn't knocking on butler or ss.. I appreciate the quality.. I just find it funny how sometimes we have things backwards a bit.

I'd rather have a ss or butler then a garage built pos. I do not mind paying higher prices for better tools.

 

[Danny Strickland]

Good job Fred. I'll give them a slight nod over Accellerated's World Head Quarters in Atlanta!!!

What TOP SECRET componet was being tested at 20:05? The Pfred I know woulda put that guy in his place!!!

PS Chavez wants to know where all his cousins are at the factory? (Steve T on Dannys computer)

I thought they were working on Fred's mess of a truck...

 

[Erik]

Great job Fred! It's nice to get an insight of how these industry leading facilities operate. I'm really looking forward to watching Mike's video of the Sapphire Facility.

 

[Shane Deubell]

Its too cold out east for Mexicans.

I think Baaston has a good size spanish population actually.

We aint all potato farmers ya know. Well, i am but not everyone else.

[Shane Deubell]

Those are Puerto Ricans like Lockhart, they just wish they were Mexican.



J/k no Puerto Rican hate mail please!

When you're right your right...
They call themselves New Yorican here.

 

[Shane Deubell]

Not that i can tell the difference...

 

[FB7777]

I warned Paul from Butler that this thread was gonna derail early and often ....

 

[Desk Jockey]

sorry

 

[Steve Lawrence]

I love their waste tanks! Great heat on the hi heat models, too. Thanks for the tour!

 

[Spurlington]

Great tour .. ever thin was awesome ..

Yeah Id like to know what was behind the closed door with the man waving the finger .. he was in lunging position - "Dont chew come in here !!"

 

[hogjowl]

To me, there is no question that Butler is the standard all other mfg's are trying to reach. If I can ever get my daughter to graduate college, I want to get one. Heck, I may not be able to wait until she graduates. I need one today. Pork hole and all.

 

[FB7777]

From a reliability and employee friendly standpoint , you will not regret getting a Butler Marty

If you do decide to purchase one, tell Jack I will pay for them to drill a second Porkhole in your van

 

[Desk Jockey]

[hogjowl]

Haven't you drilled me enough over the years?

[Jim Martin]

I have been in many different plants for different reasons....

that one was one of the best ones I have seen in a long time......very well organized and detailed..you can see the quality in the plant and in everything that goes into the machine...

very nice....

hats off to Butler............

 

[Donwand]

I purchased a new Butler back in 2011 and haven't had a single problem yet with the unit or van.

 

[ruff]

Thank you Fred, nice video.
Fascinating to see (considering the SS similar thread) how two companies use a very different business model, yet both produce outstanding machines.
Many ways to get to the mountain top.

 

[Brian H]

Hey, I watched the entire tour and I didn't see our trucks getting prepped!!

That video is a perfect example of why we continue to only buy Butlers. Consistent quality without taking any shortcuts!!

 

[Russ T.]

Clean and consistent installs are the big reason I love the Butler. I like the idea of the system being designed for the handy owner/operator to do the work too.

Thanks for the video Fred!

 

[Spurlington]

Hey, I watched the entire tour and I didn't see our trucks getting prepped!!

It was behind door number 3 .. which appeared to be off limits !!

 

[Travis Sonderegger]

So how does this butler thing work? Do you bring your van in and they get you setup with all of their stuff or what?

 

[Desk Jockey]

We had ours delivered there and then had it transported back to us.
