Ordered a new guzzler today from the maple guys, Great customer service, and a good price, saved almost 400 bucks from the cdl price. Question is if it will pay for itself this year on my 300 taps??

I wasn't so lucky, jumped the gun last spring and bought one from CDL. Highway robery. I did get the spring discount though. Should've shopped around. Was my fault but I won't buy anything CDL ever again

yes you cAN GO RIGHT TO THEM BUT AFTER YOU GET IT YOU HAVE TO MODIFY THE (sorry caps) pivot point at the motor. the little clevice rod end that comes on the units will not go very long before it rips itself out of the small aluminum block. A friend of ours had a parted out snowmobile and used the clevice rod end off the steering linkage. Havent had a problem since.
Maple guys price is about the same you will pay right from Bosworth, thats about what we paid for them.

I bought one from CDL about a month ago . It has been going good . I pulled it the other day until this cold snap is over . Some days it was pulling 26.5" .

It was just under 600 with shipping, and should be here tomorrow, hopefully it warms up now so I can put it to good use!!
