  2. new guy with ??

    Welcome aboard Lyn!! Use the search buttons!! Get at least a 4 gpm washer. I think the 6-24' pole would be good for an extension wand. Much higher lil people like me can't run them. haha!! No it does get heavy tho. I'm not even sure what you mean here. Don't use the turbo on wood for sure not decks!! Don't get a water boom as was mentioned already!! You would be just as far ahead to do it with just your wand as to use one of them!! Hopes this helps a lil.

  8. Just plain Poed

    Had one just this week, man calls and wants a estimate, I go out that same evening and give him a price of $320. Said that he is getting other prices and I told him great if he needs my service just give us a call and we'll go from there. Called me back 2 days later and said that he got 2 other quotes 1. for $250 and 1. for $275 Said that I could have the job if I would do it for $300 He said that I was the only one that came out and looked at, The other 2 quotes were over the phone. I wasn't for sure what to think wether he was pulling my leg or this was true so I decided to stand my ground for once. I'm the kind that I always give in to easy but this time said nope thats my bottom $$. So he says well thanks for the estimate Have a good day. So I'm thinking I lost the job 2 days later he calls back and says yea come out and do it!! OK I think he was playing games with me!! Why did he go with me over the other guys that are $25-50 less than me?? Did he get any other bids even??
  9. Got Carpal Tunnel?

  11. Weather

    Just talked to my guys and they were going thru Harrisburg this morning, said it was snowing so hard there for bout 10 min. that they pulled off the road for a lil. Where did spring get to??:confused:
  12. Keeping your overhead(ache) down

    I am with you there, keep the water spraying as much as possible!! Plan your next move, saves time!!
  13. Water in pump oil.

    Yea I agree with that. Bypassing too long will do a number on the packings. If you use a supply tank then plumb the bypass right to the tank, then you can let it bypass all day!! Good Luck!!
  14. "lab test"

    I do have pressure guages on most of my machines but never use them to check it between different jobs. If you go from concrete to wood in the same day you just come into the wood slow till you get the feel of it and find out how hard you have to hit it. Just my thoughts!!
  15. Moron

    Yea lets see his website. This isn't even right!!!! That really works me up!!!!! I'm not for sure?? :confused:
  16. Experts Advise

    Hey maybe I'm wrong here, but that has been my experience with them. I have one hose reel that is really mashed in the center, maybe it is something else.
  17. Experts Advise

    I use to have one of my trailer set up running thru the reel but just a week or so ago I redone that one because I have 350' of hose per reel and I get tired of pulling every bit of it out just to wash something 10' away. If you leave it on the reel you will have a mess and it is hard on the reel.

    Show us some funny pics James, Please!!!
  19. Smoke, What do I use??

    Have a few jobs coming up that have smoke damage and just wondering what to use that will best take that off. The one is a concrete wall and the other is brick. Have not yet seen the job. Thanks.
  20. Truck Size

    Congrads Richard!!!!!!!!!! What engine does that have in it?? That's hard to beleive. Is that what it gets on paper is that what the overhead thing tells you??? I found out you can't beleive that overhead readout all the time.
  21. Smoke, What do I use??

    Ac are you saying you live at a crematory. I can't beleive that!!! LOL!!! Couldn't resist it, that just sounded to good. Don't take me wrong!! I tried just 12% but it didn't work much... but I didn't let it dwell. Thanks guys!!
  22. Yea that is crazy!! I don't go for that crap!!! NO WAY!! I'm sorry Ken that it had to start this way for you!! Lgangry Trust me Ken. This fella that I gave you was in the washing biz hisself for 5 years or so (don't know for sure how long it was, maybe more) and has been in the sales now for some time. He sets up real washers for people. I have 3 washer that were shop built. 1- 90 hp John Deere diesel with 3 7@ 3600 comets. 1- 60 hp Duetz Diesel with 2 7@ 3600 comets 1-20 hp lombardini diesel with 8@ 3000 admiral pump. These were all shop built. I have 3 more washers too that I bought. He does know his stuff!!
  23. Man had a time of it getting that linked up for some reason. Call him he is no BSr. He does have email jlm@yellowbananas.com Give him a shout. He knows what he is talking about!!
  24. From my friend!! I am a Karcher dealer in southern PA and I saw your post about the machine 8 gpm @ 3500 psi. Someone is jerking your chain a little, We also manufacture some units for mobile wash applications. There is no way you will get a 24 honda to crank out 3500 psi @ 8 gpm. I like Honda engines but the 24 Honda engine is one of the worst over rated engines in the industry. You may get 3000 psi @ 7.0 - 7.5 gpm. I did a system 3 ½ yrs ago with 24 Honda’s and we ran them at 6.5 gpm @ 3600 psi and the system worked great! I guess I build stuff to last in the rigors of the mobile business, because in the middle of August your engine will not cool like in January. Also I’m curious to know what Karcher machine you are buying because my price book has nothing like this in? I do a lot of business with Karcher and they are a very reputable company. I hardly doubt Karcher is making this machine with these specs. Because they rate their machine w/ actual specs and are very conservative in their ratings. Example, Karcher rates their 13 Honda unit at 3500 @ 3.7 gpm, most manufactures round up the numbers and call it 3500 – 4000 psi @ 4.0 gpm! Not trying to be smart with ya, but I would like a little more info for my curiosity. Please call me Thanks, Jonathan Martin Sales Manager / Owner Country Powerwashing& Equipment 717-765-9478
