Buy what you can afford.

Being a POG is nothing to be ashamed of.

Having a TM just makes life easier, has nothing to do with how good of a cleaner you are.

I personallly wish I 'd of started with a porty

 

I woulda paid cash for my first TM instead of them dang payments,,,which kinda made themselves but it was always hanging over my head.....

 

knowhati'msayin??

 

but after working in the biz for 4 years using TM's I was a little spoiled I guess

 

plus there was a chevy with a Cleanco Compact 47 with 1400hrs  for sale down the street

I've thought over the tm thing a lot also. I would just need to know that it will eventually pay for itself. In order to run a tm, I need a bigger van to handle it, which means greater expense in the areas of purchase price, gas, and maintenance; I need to pay the several thousands of dollars more for the tm itself; I need to accept the added maintenance of having a much more complex piece of machinery in my arsenal; I have the extra fuel costs of the unit to consider.

I know exactly what you mean, Steaminpile. You got a truckmount right away because that's what you were used to, right? The idea of taking a step down probably wasn't too attractive. It was the same thing for me, except I came from a Chem-Dry background. I felt that I needed to have at least as good a rig as I had with CD, so I knew I'd get a powered wand. I've never worked with a truckmount, though, so I didn't feel as compelled. But the main thing is that I was spoiled. I never wanted to push a wand all day (neither did my partner), so we never even considered passing up getting a powered wand. Sometimes I wish I were using a standard wand . . . .

Does your low center of gravity help you lift that porty in and out of the van more easily?
