They stopped production because they had so may problems with the engine. The pnumatic truck is was geared wrong and it didn't have enough power to get out of its own way. The exhaust is noisy. It is $3000 to $5000 more that a Komatsu, which Crown used to sell through their dealerships. They split with Komatsu to force their dealer to sell the C-5, I suppose.
