1st truck mount advice

[Kenny Hayes]

Most certainly did. Back ordered up to 3 month wait on them.

Going to go with the boxxer 318 from sun-belt usa for $12,774.51 that price did not include a fresh water tank but they said they'd include one at no extra charge, also will give me a wand, plus 100 foot of solution and vacuum line plus a bunch of chems as well. waiting for final quote with install. Installation with fuel tap kit will be around $1200

Ok, I called you thrifty, but how about frugal And you’ll think you’ve died and gone to heaven. But you haven’t, cause you’re still cleaning carpet.

How much is the 2020 Titan 325?
Im pretty sure it suppose to be considerably hotter than the Boxxer version

I was thinking the same thing about this. It’s better to have more than enough heat than not enough

instead of using a 4-6flow wand, he could probably bump it up to 8-10 flow with the same heat.

We are all the way in WA state, and we also bought a TNT from SC.. no real need to be neighbors both machines can be fixed with any trip to the auto parts store... when your boxxer needs repair youll be likely needing to take it to a Jon-Don which can mean weeks of downtime.

Relia built is also a much better machine than a 318 boxer.

If my boxxer needs a repair i can take it back to "sun-belt usa" where i'm buying it and having it installed at, it's only an hour drive. Why would I drive to another state and go to jon don?

maybe the relia-built is a better machine, but he's in Colorado and i'm in North Carolina. Don't think he'll fly out to me and fix it if i have a breakdown do you

any mechanic can easily work on the relia built or you yourself. It doesnt require any special tools, parts or skills. Motor, blower, pump... spray and suck

The marketing says it’s about 20 degrees hotter (max) than the Boxxer 318, but it uses the same exact motor and blower as the 318.

The HX looks maybe 15% bigger from photos, but it’s getting the same exact btu.

Seems like it’s just marketing. The 325 looks cool though, just not sure if it’s worth almost 2k more when it has the same guts.

 

[randy]

BS!

It's impossible to get a consensus.

I disagree, unless everyone else does too. Then I agree as I think you are right. Maybe ....

Looks to be the same even the the "max" temperature is somehow increased. The 170-200 degree at 1.25 flow is about what I get with the Boxxer.

 

[Trip Moses]

Save up for another year and get a SS 370

 

[Meter Maid]

This will be unpopular, but there’s not much difference between the 370 and the Boxxer as far as performance. The 370 runs at 13” of lift and 317 CFM (they run the motor at 2900 rpm). 110k btu goes to the HX.

The Boxxer 318 has 14” of lift and just under 300 CFM. 104 btu goes to the HX.

I seriously doubt anyone would notice a difference.

 

[Trip Moses]

Ok

 

[Sonrise1]

I have a TCS. Great, reliable unit. 6 years old. Easy to work on yourself. Go with the TCS Warrior.

No

Lift is adjustable.

Can 2.5 vac hose be ran off a 3.6?

 

[BradFenstermaker]

If you can change a spark plug on your lawn mower, you can work on a Judson TNT.

You don't see them forsale because there still making someone lots of money.

I have been running TNT for 6 or 7 yrs. Built like a tank. I just replace/rebuild engine and pump.

Stainless tank and frame will never fail.
Bought mine used at 13 or 14 yrs old.

It's in its 2nd van now. I clean the burner on little giant every 6 months.

Friend in town runs the sh!t out of his TCS Chief II. He loves it and also does his own repairs.

Both of us really only do maintenance and belt changes.

Less sensors and solenoids the better if you ask me.

Good luck with your choice.

yeh 36 blower like 45 is 2.5" in and out

I should get 50ft 2.5" to see how much difference it makes

 

[hogjowl]

Lawnmowers have spark plugs?

 

[FredC]

Probably just end up with extra water in the hose because of the drop in air velocity......but I didn't do the math

Well its a done deal ordered the boxxer 318 today, getting it with the 65 gallon recovery tank and 70 gallon fresh water tank. Free installation 100 ft vac & solution hose/line a wand, some chems and a water hose.

Anybody need a mytee escape LX and a little giant heater or a water otter

You'll get good service out of the 318. You need to add another 50 feet of hose. I wouldn't be in a hurry to sell your lg or water otter. They are tools that can come in handy in different situations.

I already have close to 200 foot of 2 inch vac hose and 175 feet of solution lines two 50 footers and 3 25 footers, the new machine comes with 100ft of each might as well take it, same with the wand, it comes with one but i have 3 already so now i'll have 4. maybe i'll have a sale on hose and wands, lol

I run 50' of 2.5 on the Rage. It made a difference.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

I wouldn’t be so quick to sell the porty either. It’s like selling a paid for gun. Will you be quick to go to it, absolutely not, but if you need it, you’ll have it.

 

[hogjowl]

Only criminals will have portys!

 

[Cleanworks]

Don't listen to the Pigster. He's from Alabama. Nuff said.

 

[kevinj6121]

I decided to buy locally since this is my 1st TM ever, if I have issues I want to be able to go back and just say "fix it" it of course comes with a warranty

I plan on getting a soft water system but not one installed on the truck. I'll get something that i can hook up to my home water hose and fill my fresh water tank before leaving to clean. The hard water here sucks and hopefully this will be better for the machine as well.

my total for the boxxer 318 65gal revocery tank, 70 gal fresh water tank, along with a new wand, vac & solution hose/line and some chems is $1608.86 this price also includes installation and the fuel tap kit

 

[Mikey P]

Great choice


Please film the moment you realize that Chavez was right.

 

[bob vawter]

Lawnmowers have spark plugs?

I was at Homely Depot and thought I'd check out the battery powered lawnmowers.......

Not one damn spark plug in the whole damn thing......

You must mean $16,008.86, right?

 

[Cleanworks]

Otherwise, I want one too.
