    Got me one also. My dad, bro in-law and I put it together. Our store in Owensboro, Ky had 30 in- stock this morning. Couldn't wait, had to try it out in shop. Raining outside today.

    Any update? Did you sell any yet? I looked around my area on CL but didn't see any. A few other areas I looked have them listed from 900-1400. $1400 is crazy and some are still in the box!

    I only have 1 left out of nine.
    My local store has 5 left. Planning on grabbing them on Wednesday during my lunch break.

    Any reports on these?
    I Prolly don't have an hour on mine yet, but other than that the engine's a little persnickety on startup I have zero complaints. Finally bogged it down just a little tonight on an ugly knot, but it still pushed on through!

    These are Speeco built it looks like? I guess for the $ you spent you made out. I bought an Oregon (Speeco built) at a MUCH higher price, with my nephew and we've replaced: 1 valve, 1 cylinder, rebuilt the replacement cylinder once (just started leaking again), had the hydraulic tank replaced under warranty and when it leaked the second time we fixed it and reinforced it, replaced the hard line and have broken the front fitting off the cylinder at least twice. Some of it, was operator error, I admit, but really it was a poor design that put us into the situation where the operator error happened. I pretty much hate the thing but until I build something better it's all we have.

    Earlier this week the local Menards still had them on the floor for $899 which is still a great price. Looks a lot like a Speeco/DHT. A great value.
