TeamsterGrrrl Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 BRK is no bargain shopper, they'll pay premium for profitable companies with healthy market share and top notch products. Thus they bought BNSF and made HOG(NYSE) a loan, but passed on buying Harley. Mack minus Volvo is a factory or two, three and four decade old cabs, and some legacy power transmission and rear suspension bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
