I’m a fencer in South America, Chile, and contacted Protec looking for a tracked machine and a tractor mounted unit. The communication/ service I received/ didn’t receive from them was terrible. Absolutely zero interest in selling me their products. Very disappointing but the fencing must go on! Hope you get a positive result soon guys.
Im from New Zealand and have had a protech evo1 for 2 years. I have had a couple of issues with my postdriver that were stuff ups from the build. Protech has been sent photos and told about these issue and have never got back to me. Which has cost me money to fix these issues. Im not going to lie this machine has been a real asset, the ability to put posts in, roll netting and top wire in 1 pass is awesome. But customer service is something they need to improve on.
Very professional of you to make this public statement. I hope your case gets resolved but by this time it will probably not be favorable or satisfactory to you. Thanks for sharing.
Wow Shame on Protech they need to do better, you guys and Luke where promoting them hard and I’m sure got them a lot of business. Hope this gets resolved soon for you mark and team.
I do remember my father (in MX) getting USA's tools because they used to be good ones, yet a bit more expensive. The problem now is that lots of items labeled as USA' origen are not, they are mostly imported from other countries and their quality is not always good. I hope you do get your money back at least.
While that's admirable and I'm sure that they would be able to provide a lot of input into what would make any machine related to their work a top of the line piece of equipment, the engineering for one of those machines is no joke. Being able to work on them and know what is broken is one thing. designing all of the tubes, linkages, gears, hydraulics, ect... Now, if they want to pay to get some engineering involved then maybe they could design something but then you run into problem number 2, sourcing everything. Where are you getting your raw materials and how reliable are the vendors/producers of those materials? In that same category is manufacturing. Is it being built here in the states? Overseas? Is this going to be a new manufacturing business or is it going to be outsourced to an existing company? There's a lot of costs to buy the equipment to do it yourself and a lot of headaches on having it outsourced. At the end of the day I think these guys would be better utilized by finding good companies and provide feedback to those companies on what could be improved on the various bits of equipment to make them better. It's a lot less headache and lets SWI continue building strong, beautiful fences for people to enjoy and be proud of! Sorry that got long winded, haha!
This is as bad as paying for dope and not receiving it later. Sounds like a set-up money grab. If one doesn't see it and can't touch it, don't buy it. I feel for you in this rip-off.
Bravo........... well said don't be shy about bad equipment company's. Are you looking into the Scottish made machine being a distributor, the scottish machine you showed and factory tour sure seemed to be better made and of higher quality than pro tech. Second is the Indiana dealer involved with this bad deal. And what do you know about meriweather fence, I can't find a darn thing about where it is made or material specs, or the company location. best of luck in this ROTTEN deal you have been dealt

Taking accountability is something we lost in the world. Power to you and your company for taking in accountability. Thank you
Well Amateur-tech has shown their true colors. Screw those guys
The worst part is how attorneys always get paid even when no one else gets reimbursed.
You speak the truth.

That's a shame...I hope it gets resolved for you folks soon.
Thank you for the honesty. Hope you get a good resolution soon.
What a bummer, can’t wait to see the new SWI Fence Machine, hint hint.

Use your voice Mark! Appreciate the honesty and standing up for what you believe in!

That’s a damn shame I feel for you guys.
Damn! That’s sounds like a nightmare. And when you say the “support here in the US” you are talking about Farm Fence Solutions right?
It is a nightmare. I can't specifically mention names.
Why don't you consider vector power drive post drivers in Ireland??? They build self propelled tracked post drivers .
Look into fencequip please!
Hard for you to run your business with that going on
Same thing with dang man that’s crazy
you guys know everything about this business, why not just build one, why bother with some unreliable companies off shore.

@@samanderson7745 You’re right. Fence installation and manufacturing fence installation equipment are 2 completely different ball games.
Update please?
❤
Just change to Bryce 🏴🏴
this hurts to hear. what a pathetic company. Also reminds me of the candy machine scam that got pulled on oompaville.
Really Disappointing. You really helped show and use there machine’s. Can’t believe how it has ended. 👍

We've already sold one Bryce-Suma (Scottish) machine in the states. We love them.
Can't say as I've heard of Meriweather.
That sucks.
