Yes I need one, but at a good price.
Not sure I need a dual speed.

If you never had a dual speed rotary, you don't know what your missing not having one... The 320 speed can really speed things up for you, but you do need to know how/where to use it...

 

[Dolly Llama]

Yes I need one, but at a good price.

what's a "good price"??
You need to spend $600-$700+ for a "forever" rotary.
With minimal care, they really do last forever

I don't know anything about the two speeds
Nate, do they hold up as well as 1.5hp good gear'd 175's??
oh yea, and you're killing me with dat'azz, Boy

Jimmy mentioned years ago about encRapping with a dual speed.
Ladwig?? where you at
Didn't you mention years ago 300+ rpm kicked azz for encRap compared to 175???

[Mikey P]

No kidding.

Life time machine.

I should just keep it for myself

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I paid $800 in 1978 for a 320 rpm Clarke FM20. Awesome machine for productivity that in 2014 dollars would cost north of 2g. It didn't have a 175 setting like this one.

 

[Ron K]

Lite Weight thats Funny!
No 175 is lite weight!
I got two a 17 and 20 they are both heavy!
Both Generals, one speed....... but Tanks!

 

[Mikey P]

Yeah, but your a dainty rug fag.

 

[Shane Deubell]

Wish i did but already have about 10 pos we already barely use.

 

[Mountain View Carpet Care]

Any prochem titanium wands on sale?

 

[dealtimeman]

Always, how much you got?

 

[Joe Appleby]

I'm interested but have no idea how to bid on it.

 

[Mikey P]

Send me a check for $1000 and its yours.

 

[Ron K]

Yeah, but your a dainty rug fag.

I, like many on this Board, have licked more carpet than you've cleaned!

 

[Mikey P]

Doubtfull


5~7 jobs a day, 6 days a week for 13 years at Coit.

 

[Shane Deubell]

Daaayyyuuuum, 7 jobs a day 6 days a week.

 

[Ron K]

Really you're saying Coitus was real carpet cleaning!!! Probably when you worked for them you thought a 175 was your hourly Pay! I started first day with a 175 20" with a flow through brush. 20 years baby and still a BDCC not some Board GURU!

I'm just jealous Mikey don't tell anybody!
Really I'm happy where I'm at I just hope you are too!
That's what it's all about....... not whose wand sucks more better!

 

[Mikey P]

Meh, I had a 175 when I was with Millers prior to Coit too...

 

[Mikey P]

Daaayyyuuuum, 7 jobs a day 6 days a week.

And ungawdly miles between each job.

And if you didnt upsell you lost money.



My creampuff techs have it tooo good

 

[JS41035]

I imagine you wouldn't be as successful if you'd never worked for someone else. Most carpet cleaners would've benefited big time from 3 or 4 year internship at a franchise.

 

[Ron K]

Or 2-Steppin for 24% of $18.99 per room!

 

[Mikey P]

More like 40% of .40¢ per

 

[hogjowl]

I had a dude once working for me who left. He never mentioned it to me, but told my other guys I'd never make it in the carpet cleaning business. He'd worked for a couple of franchises before me. He said I knew nothing about running a carpet cleaning business. I'm not arguing with him. I may not.

That was over 20 years ago.

He briefly showed up on the All Six Of Us forum a few years back, but had nothing to say and little to contribute, so I was unable to learn from his vast experience.

 

[JS41035]

I was taught that if you work as hard for yourself as you do for someone else , you will do fine.
Sometimes you gotta learn what can be accomplished in an 8 hour day. I've known a lot of struggling business owners that say that they are working as hard as they can. But in reality they wouldn't make it working for someone else.

 

[FB7777]

In 1988 I bought a Nobles 17 in 175 and a 1500 20 inch burnisher. Still have both machines at an account

Bought a 2000 RPM EDIC back in 2006 mainly based on price ( Tennant/ Noble ) machines were twice the cost.

Big mistake.... Tennant is a career machine. EDIC barely made it past the warranty

At $640 its a good deal for someone I suppose

But who the hell wants a " Lighter " scrub machine??? Let the machine do the work

 

[hogjowl]

But Fred, it's "Jim Martin approved"!

 

[dealtimeman]

Well then all questions should be understood.

Jim Martin approved is jim martin approved and should be above reproach.

Tread lightly!

 

[FB7777]

I'll leave it to you lemmings to lick the Timberlands of the Arizona Q-tip


I see a guy that became an expert 1-800 repairman of a Vortex, Thermal wave and now a POS EDIC line
