Just ordered my new van and pro1200se from pembertons. Can't wait to start kocking out some jobs with a machine thats literally twice the power as my rage.

went from entry level to top tier.. booya. I clean year round, sometimes in the super cold. ok, not saiger cold, but still danger zone cold for air cooled. was a few weeks this winter where I couldn't do anything due to it being in the negitive temps for a few weeks. I brush pro'ed alot and did ok, but now I can use the pro1200se with the doors closed, and still crank out more heat than my air cooled tm even in sub zero temps.

besides it looks cool. :)

Thanks Jim.


pairing it with a 1 ton van and a water pond, and an apo system. not sure what other goodies im gonna get yet

I bought my new van powered unit last week. I bought it to avoid some of the heat problems I have traditionally had with air cooled, slide in units in the high heat we suffer through here in South Alabama. I also like the prospect of running my hoses through a pork hole and locking the rig up when I am in Chavez's neighborhood.

You're lucky to have a dependable and honest dealer near you.

for now the rage and that van will remain in service, but when i get the new machine and van from pembertons, the van the rage is in is getting painted, and the rage is getting new decals. The Rage has been an awesome machine, and i have the first generation, they are now on the 3rd generation. you can always call Jim Pemberton and see what he would sell a new one for, thats what i started with and jim can tell you that i get more out of that rage than others do with twice the machine. Upgrading to pro1200 only because it can duel wand. if i couldn't, i would buy another rage in a heart beat. Jim also knows that.
call him 1-800-342-2297 or call me (814) 547-1848 if you have questions , if you decide to get one ill gladly show you some things that i do that others dont.

thanks man! good stuff. i have a bigger machine in a trailer (47 blower) that i also can carry a lot of other gear in - cimex, portable, etc. I would like to have another smaller rig in a van that's just HWE, but i'm definitely not at the "need" stage. really just getting going on my build out journey but keeping my eyes open for the right machine.

Likely can rock my current set up all the way through 2016, and spring of 17 get another truck on the road with a smaller machine (i like the rage a lot from what i have seen)- if one becomes available before then at a good price i might jump on it before then

thanks and good luck with your new set up.

1200 SE is consistently at 2-2.1 GPH on high. This is with the larger upgraded clutch and van running at 1500 rpm.

Nice talking with you Thursday Scott. I will probably be right behind you at Pembertons with a Pro1200. After seeing the Butler, Cleanco, and Pro1200.....I think the Pro did the best. And Pembertons is right around the corner from me (literally speaking). So now I have a low hour Thermalwave Vortec II, water pond, APO, 2.5" upgrade, with the 2003 Chevy van to unload. But I think I have a buyer already. Jim Pemberton is always ontop of things!

well unless your buying new for the new pro1200 you can put a lot of that with the new tm. I found a company who can do a wrap for my new van, so going to see about swinging that along with all the new toys for the new van.
