I'll agree on that cmaster,they're all over priced

sutorbilt blower T408

Kubota 3cyl diesel engine.......31hp

 

general pump

100 gal waste tank (upgraded......but thrown in)

hoses etc.

 

I was quoted $24,000 Canadian

 

same ratings as an Everest with a lower psi

 

hey,by the time it was said and done my Powermatic was $25g's and the only thing extra I got was a vac hose reel

you don't need all thos fancy covers... only get in the way of repairs..

at $110 per hour I don't want a service guy to spend 5 mins taking off the covers

$30,000 plus shipping to B.C.

 

Hmmmmm???

 

nah

I have heard good things about the Cleanmores,but that slide in is pretty darn fugly...........................can you get it in something besides canary yellow????

 

One thing I know about Prochem's is that they hold their value pretty good for a slide in and there are service centres all over the place.

 

The Powerclean units are the most bang for the buck but in Canada you'll be lucky to get a decent dollar for it when selling and they're pretty ugly too.

 

I can only find one distributor in Canada also

 

if I went PTO again I'd stay Canadian and get an Aquatech out of Kelowna.................although Cleanco bought them out
