I found a used Landa 27HP Lombardini diesel SLX pressure washer. I live in Ohio, and want opinions on this pressure washer I found for sale. Here is the description of the specific one: This unit was used until May of 2009 for industrial cleaning, and has all service and maintenance records that will come with the unit. At the end of April 2009 had a new heater coil, new tank insulation cost was $3,000. A brand new starter installed in 2010, and had the generator replaced in July 2008. All work that has been done on this unit was done by an authorized dealer. This unit has not been used since May of 2009 when the project ended. The soap and steam nozzle have never been used. The voltage meter has been broke, and replaced factory key with a heavy duty starter switch. This unit runs and washes like new. This is a unit only, no guns, hoses, or tips. ---------------------------------------------------- The reason I mentioned Ohio is because we have long snowy winters and I know diesels are more expensive to maintain than gas engines, especially when things go wrong. This one has a 27 HP diesel engine on it. I can provide a few pics upon request. Much thanks everyone! By the way, I have been on these boards researching for a month now, probably 30 hours in. I want to get into any type of washing I can get my hands on, so I want a tool that can do anything. My budget isn't too tight.

This was a listing that just ended. Was it a good deal?? Would 9GPM of 200 degree water be only useful in a handful of applications then?? Thanks Landa SLX-10 Hot/Cold Pressure Washer/Trailer Package - eBay (item 250605818646 end time Apr-04-10 14:08:54 PDT) PS ILL fill out my signature in a bit, when I have a few more minutes

Ok thanks. So overall is 2000 or 2500psi enough for any application albeit 9.9gpm of 200 degree water is coming out?? Or would a machine that does 8gpm at 3000psi be better so its the best of both worlds ?

Well someone else did in fact buy it. Oh well I did have a question though. On the SLX model, it states it puts out 9.9GPM at 2000 or 2500 PSI. I am assuming the PSI can be turned up to a higher PSI with lower GPM??? Or does the PSI for this unit not matter too much since the water that comes out is 200 degrees?? This is probably a dumb question

I will let everyone know if he ends up responding to me and so forth.. My main question was the fact it is a diesel. My neighbor states it would be best to get a gasoline engine, as gasoline has a lot less problems with them and when diesels need worked on, they are EXPENSIVE cuz no one wants to do it. Anyone care to shed any light on this? I appreciate everyone's time so far!
