Comment | The new ARB regulations are not realistic or affordable. Last year I purchased a new machine that was delivered in March of 2006, when I tried to register it, my application was returned as unacceptable because of new regulations starting Jan. 1st 2006. I had to pay two registration fees for one machine and go through hell and back to get my application processed. If the new regulations are anything like that one there won't be any old machines accepted and very few new ones, at a very high price. The cost of doing business in this great state is already through the roof. Consumers already baulk at current rates due to insurance cost, and fuel prices. If we are expected to pass the cost along to cunsumers there will be considerably less consumers which means less contractors to service them. I think that I would rather sell my diesel powered machines and replace them with older, less productive, more pollutant gasoline powered equipment to save cost and stay out of the new regulations. |
