Decided I want my own tire changer and balancer setup. Biggest tire I'd want to do is a Case 970 front tire(10.00-16), would be nice to be able to do ATV tires and of course basic car/pickup tires to include some lower profile car tires on 17" wheels. I started looking at used stuff on craigslist and auctions. The used ones are mainly older Coats and I could probably get a changer and balancer for around $1200. After looking around at a bunch of different stuff I'm leaning towards one of the Chinese ones that will run me around $2000 for both. They all pretty much look the same but come in at least 5 different brand names. The most common ones being Mayflower and Triumph. The Chinese ones pretty much all look the same and was wondering if anyone knew if there was much difference between the various "brands".
