But, you can't argue vith ze German manufacturer. As Paul Rauschke will be proud to tout of any PB, "Das machine stammt aus Deutschland. Was mehr muss man ssagen?"

Kassbohrer might not have been making cats <1970, but Karl Kassbohrer was building vehicles when Joseph-Armand Bombardier was still in diapers!
In my limited experience and opinion, Pisten Bully is a more reliable brand, and more reliable machine. My experience with Prinoth has been poor support coupled with under-built machines. The simple fact of the Bomb-Camoplast-Prinoth-Leitner brand changes raises to reliability concerns. If not the machines themselves, the support and the continuity of brand. A Pisten Bully was a Pisten Bully in 1969, and it remains a Pisten Bully today in 2009. Long Live Kassbohrer All Terrain Vehicles Pisten Bully!
THAT is where I come up with this stuff. *Miffed*
