Cibola mod question

[marcomo]

I know several of you tech whizzes on this forum have modified your Cibolas by adding a manual ground balance.

Other than being less expensive (or already owning a Cibola) is there an advantage to doing this over getting a Vaquero?

Hello marcomo,

Like Keith Southern of Georgia to first posting this mod:

It really has turned out to be a beneficial mod that I believe exceeds the Vaquero. The
Vaquero and Cibola look the same but have a different I.C chip in them for the disc
range and such. And the Cibola seems to have won out on the iron handling abilities
compared to the Vaquero in my opinion any way. Seems the Cibola can tolerate a faster
sweep speed also without losing depth like the Vaquero does.
So this is probably the best of both worlds. Plus it really gets down there in the bad
ground now. I have targets buried in my yard it wouldn

Disadvantage first ... voiding the US lifetime warranty.

Advantage ... it is fun to work on things and be left with something that works better than it did originally.
