    Surface machine for Jim Gamble.

    Here's a sweet machine that was at the PWNA Convention a few years back that would be right up Jim's alley. Its made from the same company that Jim's surface cleaner's came from. I liked the color Red because thats my business color. Turbotwister

    This Machine can be ordered to be set up for Reclaiming. I don't know if they were made for self propelling but if they weren't they should be.

    I would make this machine self propelled and have one of those landscaping stand on attachment added to the back of this machine with maybe even a seat on it and off you go...........

    We used to have one of the older models - that thing was huge.. 36" across I think with a 4 cycle Kawasaki motor on it. We never had a machine really big enough to take full advantage of it so I sold it to someone on the boards at the time. Can't for the life of me remember who though!

    How big is that SC John? To me it seems as though it is really tiny or is the machine part on the top of it really big?

    What does something like that cost? John ???????? If you bought one and washing does not pan out can you mow grass?

    But the cost of one is?

    ITs like Greg's above. I remember when Greg sold his. I thought about buying it then. That motor on top is only to spin the bars.

    LOL might not be a bad idea but I'd rather make $500/hr Powerwashing then $30/hr cutting grass That machine is in the $4000 range today but its got to be tough to push it and the fatigue factor has to be high.

    thanks John.

    we have several that we modify.

    I think the 6.5 hp goes for 2,300.

    Ours are modified and need 13 hp to achieve what our clients expect for oil removal.

    When I refer to the EPA, I am talking about my Local Environmental Authorities. Your local authorities and regulations maybe different !

    engine drive = BIG heavy waste of money.

    Since the first engine driven system I saw back in '95 or '96,
    I have been convinced of a few things..
    Since the water spray, at 3500 psi "flys out'the nozzle" at over 350mph,
    + or - 25 or 30mph of spray-bar rotation allows an inertia-loss on the water spray,
    (approx.) of more or less than 10%,
    but the extra weight, ...and cost of the engine-drive
    . will be a 1500% pian in the a$$ .....on every job. ....Don't you think ??
    ...nobody's going to want to push it, and that is devastating to productivity..
    directly.. ...your profit.
    My Vac-Surface-Cleaners whether you push it, or ride it,
    will always be weight-efficient, ....and cost conscious.
    ......I promise. .........It's our "prime-directive".
    Besides, I'm known for performance,.....and the "elimination of Downtime".

    Jerry, your info is great and I really appreciate it.
    That being said, your post looks like a ransom note! It's hard for these old eyes to read.

    I wouldn't want to go un-noticed

    Thad..
    I wouldn't want to go un-noticed
    I studied advertising and took a likin' to ad layout design... I've been a bit flashy ever since.

    I tend to pack "so much info into small places", I want you to refer back, again.
    Engineering isn't supposed to be a "crash-course" of wasted time, so I feel for what
    some of you have been through finding what you believe you need,
    in an industry handicapped with "snake-oil salesman", and service men that are NOT troublshooters.
    I just want to be as informative as possible, and to be noticed when you need me..
    Believe we can deliver a truely custom fit, so I only have to show you compelling value.
    You've gotta work..
    I want to make it profitable.
    call me flashy,
    but never a waste of time.
