Ok this is making sense now. Ours are 242B-3's then. When I realized I didn't like the 272 he said he could still get us another new 242B-3...and said there were a huge amount of them that were produced for the rental fleets? I hope he's right!
It all depends on the area. They haven't made any 242B3s for nearly two years now. There could still be some unsold new ones around. The rental fleets probably have plenty that will be coming out of service the next couple years.
272 is nothing like a 242 though. Getting used to the EH versus Pilot is probably the worst part. The B3s with pilots are nice to just jump in and do a quick job but the Ds are much nicer to run for longer periods, especially if you have machines with cabs. They're a lot nicer to work on too. |
