Has any one used a power extractor brush with a truck mount? I have one like this one but not the same. I got it used 3 years ago and have never used it.(free with my used portable.I would like to know what they are good at and if it is worth keeping.
Mine is at least 10 years old. Any info would be great ------------- A closed mind is like a closed book; just a block of wood |

Spruce; I would not think that that particular unit would hold up to greater pressures that your TM may be capable of. The spray bar and internal hoses and fitting will blow first. At best, I would highly recommend a restrictor in line, or ........................Bingo........................

We had one of those 20 years ago. We also had a Windsor power brush with 3 jets. They were both good machines. Used them with portys

I have a real old one like you mentioned all metal heavy as he!!
works awesome though makes the RX look bad IMO
great if you have alot of nasty hallways to do but a bit slower than a rotary
my old "streambrush" sits idle alot but great to have on a big nasty commercial job............eliminates the need for pre and post scrubbing.....just wish it had a 2' vac line instead of 1 1/2'
I never did anything to mine,just hooked er up and started cleaning no problems ------------- A.K.A. Andy |

Here are some pics of it
80 lbs 19" x 16" and 41" tall. Runs great, now all I need is some nasty hallways I do not have a RX20 yet, so I will keep it for now. For the rigt price I will sell or trade Steaminpile what PSI do you run your on? TM or Porty? Heat? mine looks like it has weak plumbing.

Truckmount
I run it the same as my RX 300ish psi temps around 250 at the machine a couple times
works well on commercial carpet................but a little slower

I wouldn't run more than 250 psi on that baby unless you beef it up
