Just got hold of an old Butler................worked well for about a week, did a great job on the carpet, the Butler was even good cleaning ceramic and marble tiles..................until one day the Butler just didn't want to work any longer and ran away with my Maid
Bet you all thouight it was the Butler System, come on you know you did.

Amen Brother..... I love butlers! I will def own another one. 98 or newer though I perfer. I would not mind a vortex either, But I would def buy a butler for half the price and use the other half for marketing before I would buy a V. But I have only been in business for 6 years. Mabye if I was booked solid with a helper and 2 wands running at one time. Then a V would come in handy. Anyways... Happy 4-20 any stoners out there. ;)

I find it funny everyone saying you will not find a decent truck mount
for 15k, My first TM was a BUTLER and it was a older unit yes.. But it
served me for 4 year with no mechanical problems whats so ever and I
got it for 5k with the truck. Yes its old. But it sure the hell beats a
porty and we all know this. So mch dwelling on soemthing that has been
clearly gone over. HE HAS A BUDGET AND FOR THAT BUDGET i'm sure he will
get a tm. Period. It does not take 90k to get a machine like everyone
makes it sound. Find something with a good rep and good support
and im sure you will be fine.
Good Luck to you. Jamie |

PileDiver & Steamer ..........you both make very good solid intellegent points, and I'm a little embarassed demonstrating my dumb side on this issue. Perhaps I should re-think my position before I make a big mistake by not listening to both of you. Thanks
It's almost 2:00 in the morning, just came back from the restaurant..........we were getting the kitchen hoods cleaned and the 3 guys that came to do the job were all arrested , and the job not finished.
They were smoking up in the back parking lot near a pool hall/bar called Le Scratch and when the cops smelled it they decided to check out their van and found bags of that crap, counterfeit money , and false Id's . They towed the truck away, plus another car and I'm stuck with dirty hoods.

I think if you spend that little you are going to buy some problems that will stop you from performing on your contracts. A high hour unit with a new operator that runs the machine differently than the past operator and also doesn't know its kinks spells downtime.
That's all I meant by it. Check with the GM dealer in Toronto and Montreal. There is likely just one person in each of those towns that does most all the TM deals no matter what distributor. Edited by pilediver - 01/April/2007 at 8:36pm |

PileDiver I can only spend what I have allocated my budget to be, I know it on a shoe-string but I don't have the contracts to dictate a different financial scenario . I do not bullsh*t like many others and boast about being rich and buying expensive equipment they can never afford and only dream about.
I have set aside a certain amount start-up and can afford very little right now to get started in order to show a profit for my efforts during the first year.
Hammy, I never play Penny Stocks, just wanted some input as to if I should. Thanks for the heads up.

Soon as you come up with more money for a TM then everyone will get serious.
