Hey Squish, talk to Dave at TNT, he sorted my 905 out for me. A thoroughly nice chap to deal with.....and no, he didn't pay me to say that.

It's just the border thing is all, I mean you would think that I could buy one directly from the factory(here in Canada Saskatchewan) cheaper than buying one that's been exported to the States and then brought back into Canada. But who knows?
Heh normally I'm quite tolerant of salespeople I realize that's their job. But I asked this guy repeatedly to knock off the high pressure sales and he still wouldn't let it go. Schmuck.

Was the price quote in US dollars or canadian? It sounded high to me as I bought a Vermeer 600tx (track machine w/ 25h kuboda deis) for 20K tax and all. It only had 7 hrs on it too.

Although they aren't made anymore, I can't complain about my Thomas. Looking at the Ramrods at the TCIA show, I was not impressed to much. One of the main things was the externally mounted hydraulic cooling fan on the side of the machine, made of plastic. If that was on my Thomas it would have gotten ripped off by now. Also, a secret source was telling us one of his clients had both the Ramrod and Thomas, and the client said the Thomas out performed the Ramrod. If you can find a used Thomas, I'd consider it, I wouldn't trade mine for anything. Gas+oil and go.

If he coughs up the tape I'll deal with him 
. Jk'ing. I just wonder how he could sell it to me cheaper than the factory? I'm gathering prices though and I'll definetly give him a call. Last I had talked with him he was just getting into it and so wasn't sure if it had worked out for him or not.

Craigster is back? Where's he been? Frozen in a snowbank, or down in Calgary "Flames"? LOL!

Is the Chuckster back? Where's he been? Did he get abducted by a group of buxom female aliens to help repopulate their planet?

Brendon was that an option or something? Here's a link to a machine I've been drooling over and it looks quite well guarded to me. Maybe a guard was off or something?

The 905 mounts its Optional oil cooler on the side. On the 950 its completely guarded in. Thomas copied the early 800 series ramrod to get their design. Its not even in the same league as a 950.

Funniest thing about that, OM, is my stepdad long ago wrote a book about pretty much that same thing. It was called The Girls From Planet Five. I actually in junior high school wrote a book report about it. Needless to say, the teacher was less than impressed by it!

We were going to outfit them with duals, like the small stump grinders. That way it would only take 2 minutes to go from wide to narrow.
