Please recommend a dealer, manufacturer you have had good luck with.
I am in the Barrie, Ontario area, but would travel some distance for a great product and service.

We run 400 Taps

Comparing a ford to a Chevy lol but I recommend leader closes dealer from me an hour away. Though I would have to say I was boiling at 10 o clock at time filter press took a crap they brought out to me so I didn't have to stop I'll never forget that.

If you are in Barrie I assume you have been to Atkinson's, right?

highly recommend Dave Brackeridge at Squirrel Creek farm supply. They are a Lapierre/waterloo/small dealer. Stock lots and get trucks almost every week

Here's a second vote for Leader, with our new rig we found one blower needed to be larger, Bruce(vice president) made a 4 hour drive up to replace it, also adjusted the jets on the doors for me, lots of rigs I have heard it is a learning curve and you are on your own

We have a Leader and no complaints but would not purchase another Leader. The prices are very high when other brands are much cheaper and produce at the same and better rate. If only running 400 taps, look for something economical.

All of the major manufacturers make nice evaporators so the brand isn't so important. What is important is finding a reputable dealer that will stand behind the product after the sale.

I'd vote Thor Equipment, in Cowensville, Que. If you don't speak French, ask for Arnold Raymond. Real nice equipment, great prices and they have it ready when promised. Their original name was Algier.

Too bad they don't return emails, at least not mine.
