15" cimex CR38

Anybody using a 15" cimex ? Starting to get into commercial jobs & the 19" is kind of heavy for my wife & I. Or would the HOS orbot be a better choice for about the same weight ? Been in bus. for a little over a year with a 15" challenger with great results ! Any advice Rick? Excellent-Supply has a great staff !

i've never used the 15". i've been told here that the RPM's are higher on the 15" than the 19", so the slinging of solution could be a problem.

question for ya: in what way is the 19" too heavy?

if you mean too heavy to pick up out of your truck or van, then you simply need to invest in a ramp. don't kill yourself.

if you mean too heavy to drag up a flight of steps, then you need to invest in the Big Boy wheel kit from Rick here at Excellent Supply.

we did a quarterly job Saturday that has 100 steps/stairs spread out in their huge production facility. we drag the 19" throughout this facility a solid mile back and forth. idk how i used to do it with the stock tires. i am still whipped at the end of the day even with the Big Boy tires. good exercise though. my wife could never do it.


hope that helps.

I have had both well really 2 of the 19" and 1 of the 15" and I sold the 15" real quick.

It bounced around to much. If you can get the 19" it is well worth it.

It is a bear to move (jump in anytime Shorty) but if you do the big wheel kit it will be a lot better for you.

Orbot sits in my van on average 364 days of the year.

Challenger is what i prefer for my OP needs.

Cimex for all of my CGD needs.

You should sell your Orbot. I use mine for everything! Post it if you're interested.
