Mr. Steamer:  I wonder if the new Prochem unit with the Kobota will have belt problems?  There are certainly none with the 405'sGuitar

Mr. Steamer:  I found the hose from the blower to the silencer to be a pain in the a** to change.  that was on the Bruins which by the way I am glad I got rid of them. Belts were a daily ritual.Well not daily but too oftenGuitar

Steamer,

In western Canada I hear that it's not unusual for a carpet cleaner to upgrade his unit every three or four years. It works well out there.

It must be a GTA thing to hold on to your baby and keep pumping money into it.

So basically one just keeps going around in circles....

but new equipment before you finish paying for it...it's no good....then you have to start all over again

Closed minded folks will always be around and if everyone was like that we'd all still be living in the stone age.

ps, Make a good living, doing Leather......can't be done !!

Change is a very scary thing for most.
