Alto Simpson unit

[Rick Arrese 14]

Today I found a 4 gpm 4000 psi Alto Simpson PW unit with 16hp Briggs engine, belt driven cat pump, electric start. Used unit from a tool rental company, also on the deal I can get a 20" cyclone surface cleaner. Asking price is $1400.00 for both. Is this a good deal or should I pass. For the looks of it it appears to be a very solid machine, oil and filter looked clean, fired up on the first push. Any comments or suggestions? Tomorrow we are going to plug everything up and check it out.

If it checks out, I would buy it. Try putting on a guage to test the psi.

BUY BOTH PIECES!! (If they check out) Is it a cold or hot water machine? If it's a hot water skid machine, make sure the burner cycles on and off and no smoke from the stack.

Before I retired we sold that machine for $5,800.00 and the Cyclone retailed at about $ 550.00.

I would say you've got yourself a DEAL.

Is the washer a skid or a portable unit?

Hi Ron, Its a cold H20, portable, solid built, good rubber, no rust, probably a decent maintenance record. I was supposed to try it out today but got hung up with vehicle emissions testing and tag renewals so tomorrow I get to play with my new toy. (That's what my lovely wife would say since its my birthday). Thanks for the word.

Dang,that sounds so much like a used car ad, solid build, good rubber, no rust? I've been working to much around car dealers lately. HAR HAR HAR
