CFI Mohawk Training Partnership

The first class was a grand success!  The comments were “super positive” from the attendees concerning the training and Andrew Smith and Doyle Slaughter who conducted the course.  The dynamics between the attendees and the trainers were great.  If someone didn't understand something that was said or demonstrated, Andrew and Doyle took the time to assist them.  Visit www.mohawkuniversity.com website for a schedule of classes.

NEED A BRONCO?

Note from Steve Szachon:

"I have a battery powered bronco from Taylor tools. I had purchased the machine about 12 to 18 months ago. Have done very little with the machine in that time. I have found the machine to take glue down wood, slate and carpet with ease. Being battery powered it's not restricted from areas that a propane machine would be. Do to medical reasons I need to sell the machine. Asking $28,000.00. Steve Szachon 770-356-1100"
