Hey guys,
So I was looking at my TM options after doing research, and thanks to some very helpful feedback from forum members, I decided on a slide-in unit.
I thought I should run my decision by a friend of mine who works in the industry, and he's suggesting to get a PTO unit instead. Here are some points that him and I discussed, and in some of these, I'm not sure whose point is more valid.

- I was originally trying to avoid getting a PTO unit because I heard that since the pto is new, the van also has to be relatively new to last the life of the machine. Mainly because ou the van fails before the machine, then it would be very costly to transfer the machine into another van. Two questions on this (a) how much does it cost to move a PTO from one vehicle to another., and (b) How new does the vehicle have to be?
- Safety - I was considering the purchase of a propane powered slide in, but he was saying it's not safe to carry propane in a vehicle. Is this true?
- What are my options for pto units? Butler seems to be pretty expensive, and hydramaster cds seems to only provide decent heart with eye salsa package add on. There's cleanco 47, and what other good options?
