Have had a LC2 for 8 or so years. Honestly decent for the $$, however we should have just saved up and bought a DMI. Grease the heck out of the pivot areas, and they will last ok, and if you need parts get Nichols......Brillion parts are astronomical, and its Chinese crap to boot. Also, make sure the frame is square, they tend to tweak 1-2" one side to the other.

Look for a landoll weatherproofer II I looked at them and then I went looking for some more money to afford one and couldnt find any sooooo It looks like this will do if I get it bought. its a online auction. If I had unlimited money to spend on one it would be a DMI anyways. |

Landolls are ok, I just like the way the DMIs are built. A friend of mine has one Ive used some. He has yet to tear it up and thats saying something.
I also like the DMI features that I can raise and lower the blades and cover boards if I just want to do straight ripping in bean stubble.

When I was looking at one a few years ago, I liked the job my DMI did better than the Brillon so I kept the 530B.
