I love these SWS rigs. I can see owning one some day and how they would work great. I just can imagine the amount of money going into these things before these guys are even in business. I started so small it just blows my mind a little.

There is plenty of work for everybody in Pennsylvania. Let's see where they are in a year or two.

Most of us started with small working systems, not tied into anyone or any product. I know so many people who have walked away wishing they had found something else first. What a shame.

When I first tested the waters in this business I pieced together a simple inexpensive rig. Knowing 9 out of 10 businesses fail, I didn't want to sink a lot of money into it. As with most guys, each year I revamp the rig making changes and enhancements. I have not yet invested in one of the pre-built "Cadillac" skids though sometimes I wish I would have from the start!

They sound / look great until something breaks and you gotta get in there.

What Pat said.
ripped a gen 2 skid apart and mounted the pumps externally.
they're designed to look kool n compact but a b:tch to work on which is often

My head hurts... I must be too simple for this glorious rig...

The big set ups sure are expensive. I think they are great for companies that are going to have a bunch of crews. That way each rig can be identical. Plus you just drop it in, there is no time to be building multiple rigs for a bunch of trucks when you are trying to grow a company.
I would definitely buy one, it just doesn't fit me at this moment.
