Its a shame BT & Toyota got together, BT with Raymond & Cesab make some fantastic products, then the Toyota rot set in.

The thing that sell's Toyota counter balances to customers is the SAS system, the fact the machines themselves are nasty to work on passes them by.

People with there head screwed on in Europe know Linde make the best counter balance machines, someone at Linde has thought " hang on, somebody is going to have to service / repair this machine in the future " so they have designed the machine with a eye for easy maintenance.
Whoever does the design at Toyota just shoved everything in the chassis wherever it would fit & jammed the covers shut.

I also know several customers that wont even test drive a Toyota because of the lack of hydrostatic transmission.
