Does anyone have any experience with CRD Metalworks/Rapido Loco processor?

I think C.R.D. is the guy that ran Sawmill tool and service in the ground.

Can you elaborate?

Rumor is they went out of business. If so, that's unfortunate because they had great machine priced right.

Two years after the original post in this thread and I know first hand CRD still does NOT call back or return emails. I'll try a few more times........

Out of business. Closed up shop. Done. Finished. Almost bought one and glad we didn't. Cant beat the support from Bells.

I bought a rapido loco 20 5 years ago from the old shop .the boys there are indeed an interesting bunch .yes the customer service is horrible .I thought it was because I'm from Canada but I guess not . The machine does work good it has issues like the conveyor that folds up I took it off and made it a stand alone unit .I turned the 8 way wedge into a 4 way the 6 way is bent .pushing 20 inch yellow Birch and rock Maple tends to do that .and I don't know where guys get 5 cords an hour 2 at best with one guy loading and one cutting I have 2400 hours on it now I do 650 cords a season may till oct or till I run out .I think my next machine I'll look at Bell .since it's the end of CRD it's a good thing the parts are available elsewhere because I need a set of teeth for it
