Just did the 1k hour oil change on the 570. The old girl is doing well with minimal care. Its nice not having to spend a whole weekend doing a repair. Net profits are way up due to not buying parts and lower fuel consumption. All in all a good experience with a few hiccups.

What did you have before that burned a lot of fuel, required buying parts and was hard to repair?

Ah......Powerclean Genesis. Same as my fuel burner. Up to 3 gph. Ya had to stay on it to keep it running at peak.

Or, Doug might have had the NXT? Same problems as my Genesis 59, 03 model.

I've noticed the 570 uses a little more gas then the 405. Not that big a difference for the performance boost.

1000 hour blower oil? I change my oil filter and oil every 100 to 200 hours. Air filter every year or 1000 hours. Water pump every 500 hours.

that would be the tenth oil and filter change Sam. I haven't changed the blower or pump oil yet.

Nice and clean...I should have known you were one in the million who wipes down their gear.
