Hidden PM machines

[JerZcustoms]

I bet it has to do with what came first. For the PM-833TV, it is a variable speed version of the PM-833T. So they simply added the V to the name to indicate the variable speed.

For the PM-728VT, it is an updated and upgraded version of the PM-727V, and also made in Tiawan. So they added the T at the end.

The 728 is not an upgraded 727. They are completely different machines with different motors, different heads, different bases...etc. Also, the 727 weighs about 100 lbs more and has a geared head (even for the Variable speed model) so it will have considerably more torque for heavier cuts.

I started with a 727V and soon upgraded to an 833T. I too am space limited and found that the 833 didn't really need any more space than the 727. The 833 is a significantly more capable and higher quality machine.
