All of the brands mentioned are good. The issue is which one provides the best package in a specific application in a specific geographical area. That is why a buyer needs to look at more than just the brand and the price. Considerations such as which brands have dealers within a reasonable travel distance for service. What level of technical expertise and experience do those dealers have with the type of equipment and the technology in the equipment being considered for purchase?
