Very nice IMO

The Apex diesel is a BEAUTY,very impressed with it.

 

actually demoed a Legend XL and was pleasantly suprised with the performance as far as heat and suction go.

 

design and build on these machines are impressive IMHO,alot of people knock them  but I can see why they are a little more $$$ than some,alot of thought goes into them,and the finishing is very impressive.

the new Prochems seem pretty simple......especially the smaller units.

 

I like that the engines are not screaming at full throttle and do not seem to bog down under load,they seem to heat up quick for a HX machine,the waste tanks are a work of art.

 

can you tell I'm going with a Prochem??

20hp sutorbilt 4MVL Cat 3 pump

 

aboot 17k Canuck bucks installed

I know they are all too much money

and yes a Freedom45 is the same price with a larger liquid cooled engine

 

but I do have my reasons for preferring the Prochem units

The Freedom is $17,900 lol

the Prochem will have higher resale value IMO seeing as how there is only 1 distributor in Canada for Powerclean

 

and I really do not want to knock the Powerclean but I find the craftsmanship a little better on the Prochem

 

and they're PURRRRTY

 

there are a couple of things I like better about the Freedom though

I've been using Pro Chem turckmounts since 1985. I have had 6 of them including the two 405's I have now.  The amazing thing is the old 100 and 800 A are still working.  But not for me. The two BruinIIs are doing a good job for the people who own them.  I got good money when I sold them when I was ready to move up.
Just My opinion
