Interesting statements in the ad along with an interesting price. I'll bet I could arrange for the importation of two original Listers for that kind of money!

Back in 2005, I paid $895 (on sale) for my Vidhata 6/1 WITH an 5kw ST generator head through George at Utterpower.

But hey, when there's no more being imported......




Edit: You know, I just read my own post and realized it sounded a little "snarky". Didn't mean to do that.........it just amazes me what some of these engines will bring these days I guess.

The funny thing is, I considered that a lot of money back then. Now I'd pay much more for another but the darn things are now pushing over three times that!

Come to think of it, my Vidhata is a better investment than my 401K !

   I'm from Ct, I,ve been watching this posting since last Oct.The original starting price was $4,900, he just relisted once again @$3,900, too pricey for me considering that it has not been de-sanded and the ST is a complete unknown, notice the still intact doghouse.If he was a little more reasonable with the price, I might take a look at it.
