I have a Manitowc 850 Makes half dice cubes. I love it. Also an 600 Scotsman that makes "pillow" cubes
Get atleast a 600# pound "head". 220V AIR COOLED. Water cooled uses a LOT of water.
900 # bin. You don't have to buy them togeather. If you find a deal on a head you can retro fit it to just about any bin but the little ones.
Some I konw swear by Hozaki.
If you put it in the back of a truck you will neeed to think about leaving the doors open .
Ice bags are a pain and cost a lot. I like 20#ers. The ladies can handle them a lot easier.
If you have truck space for a merchandiser you can bag ahead.
I empty the ice bin on jumps.
