JC Cheaper On A Part For Once

[Warrior Wash]

Thought I'd let everyone know. Replaced the air actuator, made by Parker Pneumatics, that tilts boom forward and back on WW 2.0. Called Coleman, they wanted $1600. I said "Holy Cow"!!! The guy in parts dept. at Coleman went to his manager and they gave me a 20% discount on the actuator. Still cost me $1300. Called Grainger, got a quote from Parker and they were at $1400. Just in case anyone's wondering.

Grainger and Parker distributors aren't cheap either. Distributors like Coleman generally get massive discounts from them.

20% discount...hmm.. tells ya how Coleman is jacking us up. Recently had to replace side brush motor (not baldor ..happy) for the Fusionx. If i bought it at coleman it would cost me $674.33 , bracket $36.50. So i called our distributor he charged me $643.33 plus bracket $36.50 and $75 labor.
