Daryl i,
"the last time we were told clarks were great was the introduction of the new cmp which was a tcm tailift samuk"
I am affraid your above statement is completely wrong.
The Clark CMP has nothing in common with tcm tailift and samuk. The CMP is the old Samsung product which used mainly Clark major components, ie transmission, mast and steer axle. The gas machines use Mitsi and the others all use Nissan. The diesel has always used Yanmar the others used Isuzu untill recently changing to Yanmar(except TCM I think)The CMP is still being built in Korea(the others being built in Taiwan and China) but is being super seeded by the CQ. Clark also build the GEN2 range which is a very well built and basic machine.
