I have in the past talked to the owners of both companies on the phone and at that time they were independent. I know of at least 5 Gatormade trailers in my area that have had Zero problems.

Go to tractorbyenet for comments.I don't know how many Co's are under that umbrella but there are 6 or more. [Reply]  [No Email]
