So If they sold them the new buyer would have to deal with the same issues. Which means they new buyer must get them cheap enough to fix them. I must say it seems like a new motor is alot cheaper than a new rig. Seems like they will do anything to get the new and latest and greatest carrot.
I think you have it backwards. The previous administration went for the, as you call it, "latest & greatest carrot". Our current administration, a Commissioner who came up through the ranks & worked alongside many of us in the field, actually LISTENED to what the folks in the trenches had to say & we went BACK to what worked for us. From 1984 until 2011 we were strongly associated with E\-One, purchasing in the neighborhood of 90 pieces from them over that period of time will lead to that sort of association. So how can you say we're doing "anything to get the new and latest and greatest carrot" when we're in fact reverting back to what worked well for us for over 25 years?
