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 ------------- A.K.A. Andy |

They make the stuff to complicated.... so the Tech can't service it themselves... it has to comeback for service... what is a unit??? driving force...Blower and Pump... add a blower to a pressure washer and you got a new truck mount...lol 150% markup at least... you'd think your buying a car... BULL
I'm going to build this unit for lest than half

$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 ------------- A.K.A. Andy |
