Thanks, I had some correspondence from Simplex today and was advised that with any aquisition you can expect a price rise. Let me just say that the price given was about double:yuk:
Will check out the other option you mentioned.

Ag-Rotor, you might want to check again on the prices as I spoke to Steve Daniels from Simplex the other day and he said that the prices would only increase about $1500 over what they are now.

I wonder if the service is going to be as good as it was out of NZ. They built great spray gear! Either way it will always be dearer now.
