This machine was purchased in February for $72,000 and has given our operation the capabilities of in-house work totaling $82,000 in the first nine months. This work would not have been possible without the machine, and instead, these projects would have waited until capital money was made available for contracted work. This machine also contributes to weekly production on various tasks around the property and will continue to pay for itself over it's lifetime.
