I'm not thoroughly familiar with our competitor's machines. The people I talk to that have Edco machines tell me they are two head, non planetary, fixed speed and very fatiguing to operate.
Each time we have done a side by side demo with the Expander and the Prepmaster, the customer has bought the Expander gear drive machine because of the obvious advantages.
I've sold gear driven machines to customers who own Prepmasters, who in turn were able to test both machines side by side. The reports I'm getting are that the Expander grinds three times faster. And the Expander costs less. So as far as being on time and under budget, the Expander would be the obvious choice.
I have two Prepmasters that came in as trade ins from customers, each upgrading to a second Expander. I can give anyone looking for a belt drive machine an excellent deal on a Prepmaster.
I do appreciate the feedback and would welcome you sharing your experiences with gear driven machines.

Thanks
