That really is outrageous, man. Did you pay it?All my estimation stuff from a few years ago started at $1,000 just for them to return a phone call. A field call was $1,000 minimum just for the mechanic to pull his keys out of his pocket. The only way I ever got a field wrench bill under $5,000 was to go down to the local choke and puke, ask which guy was assigned to my job and tell him I wasn't paying for his breakfast. I had one young "Tech" try to justify 4 hours on site as "interpreting and analyzing" the read outs on the computer. All he had to do was drop in a flash file! It took me a couple of months of "interpreting and analyzing" whether or not I should pay the full bill.
So they both are working out for you? Is EP catalog trust worthy? I just came across their site looking for a manual for the 310G backhoe.i have the TEXA system, it works really well on the truck side. The equipment is hit or miss. I just added JD service advisor for AG for $500 from EP catalogs, I love it. It includes all the manuals for everything. That is one thing that TEXA is lacking. I also have CAT SIS and VOLVO SIS from them and they have been great, a bit of a pain to get set up, but after that, very good.
I will give them a shot and get the external drive with the manuals. Thanks.Everything so far has been great, not one problem. On the larger downloads it takes some time to get them finished and installed but other than that I've been happy with them. They do offer the larger ones loaded on an external drive now.
