Slow down a bit whilst i admire your enthusiasm for the job take it easy.
For a start unless you can aford to spend £10, 000 - £15,000 or more without
the woryeing of weather or not your still going to be in business in 12 months
time forget it. Go for the safer option to begin with witch means a portable,
the CFR 500 is one of the machines i will be looking at myself to replace my
Advantage later on this year. There are several portables on the market now
to choose from with + & -  on each and every one, so i supose it comes down
you pays your money and makes your choice. Hope everything goes ok for you

How much is it? I have looked at Hydramaster website (http://www.hydramaster.co.uk/drimaster.htm), but they do not show the prise for it.  In the USA it cost $3000 (http://www.interlinksupply.com/index.html?item_num=MH22++++++++++++++++#Scene_1)

Kind regards,
