I wonder if they've ever thought of putting on a couple of more mechanics instead of hiring engineers to come up with new models. I have a small covey of 800Bs and there was absolutely no reason for them to invent new potential trouble sources. My loaders are thirty years and more old and are still working fine. Good luck ever seeing your loader again.

Problem is EVERYBODY is looking for help and can't find any. If you find someone willing to work they want wages higher than what the owner makes or higher than employees who have been working there for years earn. Guys that say "just pay them" have to realize that will drive up the costs of goods and services. No business can give the extortion type wages some are asking and expect to hold prices to pre-PLANdemic levels.

I hear you Mike!! We can't even interview anyone for menial office work (a minimum wage job) for less than $17+ an hour. Then they show up and I discover what brain they used to have was left somewhere else by mistake.

Keep in mind the rush of people getting into reloading because of the factory ammo shortage.
