hi people,

Im getting a motor but can't decide between baldor or leeson so Id figure I might try to ask

here:
Single HP
1725 or 1800 RPM
Three Phase
TEFC preferred
56C frame size

Is just one of the brand names preferred with a smaller motor? III be shipping this to my place back home, when I go back so Id most likely order online.

Thanks!

It would help if you talked more about its intended use and how you came to decide on Baldor or Leeson.
