Members catskin Posted December 2, 2012 Members Report Posted December 2, 2012 Why the Cowboy over the Cobra Class 4? Any insight is appreciated. Quite likely distance to be shipped. Quote

Members catskin Posted December 2, 2012 Members Report Posted December 2, 2012 So otherwise they are pretty similar? From my understanding near identical. Quote
Members DFWLeather Posted December 2, 2012 Author Members Report Posted December 2, 2012 I believe they are very similar with a few very small exceptions. There are others better qualified to answer this question than I, since I have not seen or used the other machines. I am very happy with the machine and support.

Members Ken Nelson Posted December 2, 2012 Members Report Posted December 2, 2012 Just sent a check off to Steve Friday for my second Cobra Class 4. I never even considered anyone else. This is maybe like 6 or 7 times I have purchased machines from Steve. I guess you could shout I am a very satisfied customer. Ken Quote

Members DFWLeather Posted December 5, 2012 Author Members Report Posted December 5, 2012 That's funny. I'm not far behind... Quote All this work is getting in the way of me goofing off.
Members sheathmaker Posted December 5, 2012 Members Report Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) I have owned two of the Juki clones (Artisan 4000 and now the Cobra 4). The Cobra has the newer servo motor, while my Artisan operated with a clutch motor. That is/was the major difference in my two. They both sewed flawlessly and handled really heavy duty projects easily. While I have never owned or operated the Cowboy brand, I have tried it at the Wichita Falls, TX trade show and for me all three machines are pretty much the same. That means the tie breaker is the representative who in your mind has the best support and after the sale service.........For me that was Steve and David at Cobra. They also happened to be with Artisan when I originally bought there 12 years ago. I have had flawless service from those guys, hence my loyalty to their brand.

Members DFWLeather Posted December 15, 2012 Author Members Report Posted December 15, 2012 I wanted to add that the Cowboy has stainless steel feet, which I really like. I'm not sure if the Cobra does or not, but I would certainly get them if it didn't. Quote All this work is getting in the way of me goofing off.
