Freeman............... now there is a sore subject at the moment. They used to be the Cadallic of the hay business but now they have the I don't care attitude. The only piece of Freeman eq I have now is a 5300 big bale stacker and when I replace it it will not be another Freeman and not because of the job it does but because of the factory. This summer I had some bracing that was cracked in between the frame rails, $8000 and 3 weeks to make it so I sent it to the local welding shop where they air arced it out and plated it up for $560. Last week it was the alternator, $933 so I puled it off and went to the local auto electrical shop, $275 brand new with the tach wire that I was told was "special".
Why Allied even bought Freeman I will never be able to figure out. Sad to see a company like that run into the ground.
