And then they can have more overhead, more management, more opportunity for miss management and either grow or collapse.
Staying in one location allows them to have a bit more control then having two or more locations does.
They have already expanded building wise when labor and materials get back in the flow I would expect things to improve for them and there customers. A lot of complaining about things that couldn't have been anticipated and planned for.

I guess I am confused. I wasn't complaining at all. The overhead would be miniscule compared to the potential increase in sales. The longer they are successful in the market, the more likely a competitor learns their tricks and makes a similar product with a better geographic footprint. Standing pat is more likely to lead to a demise than rational measured expansion. Once I get my tractor, I will likely order a grapple from them. I have no problem with the prepaid model as the company has to pay upfront for the raw materials. Once they are bigger, they can probably shift to a half upfront model or one where customers who PIF get a price break and/or higher priority compared to customers using a down payment or credit card hold.

I went past the EA facility today. The site is undergoing some substantial excavation which I suspect points towards further expansion in Newton. I'd say "standing pat" would be an uninformed opinion of EA.

I miss the EA shop tours they were doing on Fridays on YouTube. Least then I might get to see what they were doing for that week, maybe even spot my order number. But apparently, with EA not having the materials, they dont have time to video?

Guy's just be patient , it will get there , and once you see it ,
You will appreciate the wait. I got my 55 wickeder root Grapple
today , I paid extra and had it delivered right to my drive way ,
and used my JD 2520 and pallet forks to set it off. the Quality seems
amazing , and yes the wait was long , i ordered on March 28th , and
it came today , Travis was very nice , i would call him every 3 weeks
and pester the crap out of him.. till it got here. I had a wrong fitting , Called 5 mins after the truck left , and he said it would be in the mail ASAP. I am very happy with it , Now to install My Diverter
kit and do some work. Here is a few pics of my new Toy....

Looks like they have just enough scarifiers & shanks to keep the box blades from tipping over. Every box blade pictured is short more than one.

Quality is what has gotten EA to who they are today. I hope the pressure of trying to make up for the shortage issues does not lower the quality of work. A few welds are starting to look rushed.

Everything is cyclical. Just ask the people in the lumber business. Those who paid big bucks for lumber a Month or so ago are hating life about now.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is just wait it out. Trying to 'time the market' is mostly a fool's errand, it's just that you can't panic every time there's a price increase, a shortage, or a run on something.

Same thing is gonna happen here. Competition will appear out of nowhere, demand will slow, raw material prices will drop, people who actually need to pay the rent now will be looking for work...... It's all cyclical.
