Here's a few pics from a resent show. We had our 100 and the excavator is our newest addition. The RTV is my tractor dealership's I had them bring to it to compete with all the supped up golf carts. It's good we bought the 100 first because the excavator is a BAD BOY. Later Robbie

Robbie,

What kind of show was that?

Can you say what the rates are for exhibiting?

Did you get any new business or good leads from the show?

Have you exhibited at any county fairs?

It was the anual Buck-a-rama. It's a buck deer hunting show. It's a good show for us because most everyone there knows what mulching tractors are. Saves alot of small talk. Most of the leads we get pan out down the road abit. But we usually meet a few contractors along the way as well. We enjoy doing the show and it's now kinda a tradition. It also let us feel out what direction we need to proceed.

The rates are 500.00 for 1 10 by 10 booth. We got a deal of 60' for 40' price. Still not cheap but I think its worth it.

There aren't many fairs local that would cater to businesses.

Hey Ted.
My head can do what the link you sent can do. I do like the fact it has carbide teeth. I would like another head with carbides for maybe the 080. I really like the way the excavator mulches and its manuverability.

What size machine was the bronto for and what was the cost?

Robbie
After further review, that head is pretty cool. They have wider models on another page that have much better video. I talked with my salesman and said they were running FAE carbides on the 080 in California. But if the price is right the one you showed looks pretty tough. Do you have any idea of it's price?

My dealer buddy has a really good deal on a used Volvo EC55 (12,000 lb) excavator right now...but I have too many things going right now to make the commitment. I still need to sell the Volvo skid steer but I think this great deal will be long gone. I have had a slow month so..no more purchases until things pick up. I’ve made a lot of good connections lately but no signed deals yet, seems like everyone is tightening up here…a lot of my contractor friends are saying the same thing.

No pricing on either....never got that close.

I just found the Canadian site tonight...new to me.
