Look carefully at Northern's stock in their store...a high % of stuff from China. I think Northern owns the name "Nortrac" and puts it on something they have imported in the huge steel boxes that fill the decks of ships coming from China.
If you have a job that can afford to depreciate this $25K machine totally off in about 2 years, then maybe it is a good deal for you. But for the rest of us who expect a good piece of equipment to still be productive 20 years (or even 50 years) later, well the Nortrac just won't fill that bill.
