denis, couldn't agree with you more. Alot of whay I'm seeing on this post sounds like rehashing of problems experienced years ago, and nothing recently. We've been a Linde dealer for 3 years, and are selling between 100 - 150 machines per year over and above our 400 - 500 CAT machines. Parts availability is good. Again, it comes down to the dealer. We're not afraid to stock a couple million $$ in parts. Operator acceptance has been fantastic! We target the machines for our highest hour, most abusive applications, and they shine. One of my customers told me the other day, "If Linde made cars, I'd be driving one to work every day".
