When you come of age then you can buy a real truckmount?  Oh I forgot you  are installing it into a toy van so I guess that is why you wan a toy truckmount?

erickpensil you can curse me here to. Thanks for the pm but you would have got a better bang for you buck if you would have just called me all that right here. Don't be so shy next time?

no problem dougy! btw. i didnt curse you or whatever it is youre trying to say. i just told you that you sound like a 9 year old that has nothing to say but wants to hear his own voice. Big smile

okay doug, ill give you another chance to answer with something real. what about a used splitfire 3.2 with 2500 hours or one of the above "toy" TMs. what should i do?? 
 
thanks

Eric this topic has been kicked around many times. Sometimes one has to be a little blunt to get a point accross. What you save in the beginning will cost you big time in the end.  There is no such thing as entry level. You are either in or out.  I don't know what your needs are, but you want to purchase with the idea of being able to do more than you are presently doing.  Weather residenental, commerical, tile what ever. You can save now and attempt to purchase something that has the potential for multiple applications within this industry.  I can't tell if your HM is a good deal or not because I have been a Pro Chem user since starting 7 units so far.  Erickpensil that is not what you said. 9 year old?  You give me tooooooo much credit.

Doug,
 
I got to thinking and I dont want to buy another unit anytime soon. I will be taking delivery of a 2002 Ford E250 with a used Spitfire 4.0 (1750hrs) next week. I got a good deal on it and it should be way better than a 12hp prowler or 16hp scout assuming it doesnt break down on me!! Clap

i couldnt really answer that for you. im pretty new to game and the only equipment ive worked with is my Spitfire 4.0 and my Galaxy portable. I do know that i wish i had a bigger waste tank. Mine fills up super fast. the glide on the wand really helps sucking all the water out. i have to dump every job!!
