Looks like it will be a nice looking rig! What year is the Bronto?

With that town it probably came down to who ever gave the best kickback..

Cool. Looking forward to seeing it in action. I’m sure it will be a valuable tool for them.

Mike c I agree that eone makes a great rig and by the way sutphen makes a great aerial too I would assume the bronto will be 20 yo by time this arrives

Well they had to close out the contract with PIERCE first. They likely take a generic approach instead of staying with one builder. That cuts down on disappointment.

My only guess is that E-One was lower bid or they know Pierce aerials are complete garbage.

was odd to see this order since they have an engine from pierce on the production line now

I personally think E-One has some of the highest quality aerials on the market. Of course Smeal is also high end and the Seagrave aerials have also proven to be very reliable too. Good luck Melrose Park!

I am glad they went eone while I am surprised not pierce like there engines
