BGuard,
I had a customer that purchased 2 of theNavigators and had good success other than a repetative tail pipe issue. My personal favorite is still the Moffett. Good parts availability and average prices- seal kits are a bit high. The M55 is the newer style. The M5000 or 5500 are good machines also. I just sold a very low hour M5500 to one of my retail customers. Keep in mind that a truckmountable will never see the service life hours that a yard machine can tick off. 1000-1400 hours is enough time to begin showing wear of not properly maintained. Also I suggest the Kubota engine, much better parts availability.
