    Thought I would put this in the Excavator section, but this would apply to any 24 volt machine with a 24 volt lighter or accessory socket. Ran across this unit by accident, seems like the perfect thing for an owner to put in his machines or an operator to carry in his lunch bucket...

    Hydrostatic Transmission Service, LLC

    Just curious if anybody else here has had dealings with this company in Tupelo, Mississippi? I have recently had what I will politely term a "less than satisfactory" experience doing business with them. Wondering if this was the exception to the rule or if there's a long list of unhappy...
