giving some thought to a judson c4

juniorc82 · Nov 4, 2012

Just wondering who on this board owns a c4? I do a ton of commercial work and after doing a bunch of resurch I am leaning towards a c4. I think after I pay down a loan I might try and get the ball rolling on this. I do think however I might stick with my northstar diesal/ kero rather than using the little giant. I think what won me over was watching a video of les , in that video you could really tell that these units are made to be a work horse not a fashion show model. I like how user friendly they are and the open design. Also being pioneers in the industry helped too. what pro's / cons can anyone tell me abnout the c4? can it fit into a normal sized cargo van?

With many,many TNT's on the road for over 30years, I think the C4 will last you a lifetime.

I have a CanAm, which was a precusor to the C4. You won't be disappointed. I've had some challenges, some due to the way I was using it (ie I had to replace the engine from a cracked block because it wasn't getting enough cool air when I closed the box) Other challenges were from some metal fatique, the fittings holding the anti-pulsator on the pressure pump kept breaking from stress. But over all, with using the 2.5" hose, I'm getting great heat and awesome dry times. Its easy to fix. I've rigged it with remote oil filter and drain hoses that make changing the oil very easy.

I gotta say after speaking to les for the first time it was really refreshing. Normal vendors have a bit of a slimy feel to them, les convinced me he was really on our side and puts people and customer service before profit. I am pretty much sold on either a c4 or a tnt. It will depend on if I have a building to park a box truck in or if I have a van tm I get.

How is the noise level from these units. My back up unit has a 23 hrs engine and 45 blower with the muffler silencers on both, it is still louder than I would like.
