Its funny I was at their plant not that long ago, I saw machines being built. So I am not sure where you are getting your information. Also the Spartan machines are a tried and tested design of the years. Why do you think Trojan copied them.

Speaking of Trojan, you sound like a Trojan rep or salesman.

I was told once the China stock runs out they are going to be all USA parts again.

At less China can finally say they use to make one of the best rodders ever made

is there plant in Mendota, IL?

Speaking of trojan rodders, how many of you guys actually have one? It seems to be about 200 to 300 dollars more than the spartan rodders

i just picked one up off craigslist with a powerfeeder, got it for 225 bucks, looks like it was used twice, you guys like these better than say a gorlitz go50? thats what i use daily, just bought it cause the guy didnt know what he had and it was a killer deal, i didnt really need it............. .......but

i tend to buy stuff i don't need all the time

I think spartan machines are great, maybe the cables more than the machines. The sink machines are awesome because they have no belt to slip off the drum, or adjust. They have lots of power, run through drain quickly.

The big sewer machines have only one draw back, they are heavy, I have been told that the .66 magnum cable weighs one pound per foot.

Make sure you keep their phone number handy. mine is a little over a year old and Ive replaced the switch inside which controls the air.And Ive been thru 2 footpedals and 2 air hoses. mine was probably made by a very tired overworked ChinaMan?
