Reply:spotless!my brother just bought a new '12 Vantage 300 diesel. Says govt is requiring a bunch of emissions related crap on diesel welders that will skyrocket the msrp starting next year. he bought a new one while there was still one available. not sure of his information. doesnt really effect me as i dont need a mobile rig. I sure like to look at them though. pretty machines.

Can wait to play with it and see how is compares to my bobcat. Figures the job i have tomorrow is all threaded pipe no welds! The stickers are pealing a little on the edges. I will get a cover for it soon.Miller Pro 300 SS w/ cat Miller Bobcat 250Miller Diversion 165 Miller 211Miller Xtreme 375Miller 12vsMiller Dynasty 200 DX Miller Passport Plus w/ Spool GunMiller 30a spoolmaticLincoln AC225 Buzz Box VictorMathey Dearman - H&M
