Dob,
I don't think it is self-contained. What you see on the top is a check valve for safety.

cci, You seem very knowledgeable about this business. From all I can gather, It seems that First Choice is a 1 man operation? Someone named Peiter. If this is so? Do you have any insight into this business structure and the future of the company? What happens if something unforseen happens to a 1 man operation---how would First Choice warranties be took care of on machines sold in the past. Would the company survive?

On the First Choice equipment that Midwest manufactures, the warranty is handled by Midwest. Definately not a one man operation here. Can't speak as to the rest of the First Choice machines.

"The only thing I needed changed was that orange colored paint he put on it."

I know what you mean. That lovely green they have is so much more attractive. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

machinedoc,
You will have to ask FC. I'd say only FC can process their own warranty claims. Who knows if FC is the next Enron. Ask their accountant Doug Pope CPA - Pittard Perry & Crone Inc.

cci or anyone: Any idea, Why the change toward a more negative preception of the "First Choice" company and products within the last few weeks? I have monitered TBN all spring and summer and that company was all the rage. Is there something in the air that TBN enthusiasts should know about, other than a low quality unfinished website? Ha-Ha. Could it be that Jim at "Midwest" can sell the same ground engage equipment and rotary cutters direct, for less money?

My experience, both from reading here and dealing with them (FC) is that they are simply experienceing astronimical growth. Remember that commerical when they little company launched their website, and they watched the orders come in, at 5-50 orders, they were thinking they were a bust, then they picked up, and they were happy, then they went into the thousands and they realized they could not keep up with it? That seems to me to be the issue with FC. I see little negative comment on the product itself - at least from those able to get one!
