Well i am trying to figure out how to get a TM money wise, the other cleaner i mentioned that i work/help form time to time who has a TM,
his TM is a Judson and he's had it for over 20 years now. their good simple basic not a lot of bells and whistles which i like as thats less to go wrong, i would add a little giant heater for heat for another 1500 or so. I live in Calabash NC, closest place to me is an hour drive away and they sell and service the judson so thats another reason i'd go with it. this is the one i'd want i copied and pasted this from there website
The TNT by Judson is the most reliable and easy to maintain truck mount cleaning machine available to the carpet cleaning and restoration industry. The TNT is an extremely dependable machine designed with over 40 years of truck mount manufacturing experience. Continuous cleaning temperatures up to 250+ degrees for hours on end and a powerful #45 Roots blower deliver cleaning power that is unmatchable at this price.
$12,549.00
I don't like buying used stuff so i'd buy this one new. But cannot put this in a dodge grand caravan so need a van too but van does not have to be brand new, just my cleaning equipment.
A little about me, I started a janitorial business, carpet cleaning, stripping and waxing floors office building cleaning back in 1985 after i got out of the service (Army) Ran this business in Long Island NY for 5 years before i sold the business minus my equipment and moved to San Diego CA where I restarted only this time did carpet cleaning only commercial and residential. I did this for another 10yrs before i got out of the business. Then in 2010 while living in Denver CO I got back into it, for the 3rd time now, Can't help it I guess I just like doing it but Boy i missed a lot as far as how much better the equipment has gotten and yes even portables have come a long long way since the 80's. Anyways moved from Denver back to Long Island NY in 2011 bought my stuff with me and continued on, then in 2014 moved here to Calabash NC and continued on and am still going.
Current equipment i own...Mytee LTD5 extractor, Mytee air hog vacuum booster, Mytee hot turbo heater ( i don't use this much) A 175 with solution tank and carpet brush also a pad driver for it.
A 15 inch
CRB, Orbot Vibe OP machine, oreck orbital, a spinner tool for tile and grout and a water otter pump for when i use the spinner, a hard surface wand, two carpet wands, a stair tool, an upholstery tool, various sprayers along with a hydroforce in line sprayer along with a lot of other odds and ends. I work hard and do great work I do no advertising at all and still get work, all repeat and referral and thanks to a property manager i met who likes me and gives me work as well.
I've been a good boy so i'll ask Santa for a truck mount this Christmas and see what happens, LOL
