I've heard some bad stories about the Puma machines, hopefully Barko will straighten it out.
Too many irons in the fire

Barko ,made some good machines, back in the early 80,s i had a  225 barko loader,4-53 power unit, live heel,it was mounted on a DM 600 steel nose mack,it sat up high enough so you had a hydraulic tipping cab to run it over the road.It was great loading trailers,and feeding the chipper. Don

It seems like they are trying to build reliable yet cheap machines.  They look like clubs.  Powershift trans in the k2 maybe the later ones have hydrostat.  Iqan system with suregrip controls.
