From what I've read on here, it sounds like a winner. SS seems to be proving they really stand behind their equipment. I have read something that is a little concerning though. Someone said there are water connections/fittings that are installed directly above some of the electrical components. Doesn't sound ideal to me. I would still give them a hard look though if in the market for a PTO...obviously along with Butler, Cleanco, HydraMaster.

To new and too expensive for this crowd to have bought one. Satan himself elected to keep a problem plagued Vortex over a 1200.

And everybody knows they would have practically given him a 1200 if he asked for it.

John Olson should be posting pic's of mine that he will be installing soon. There are a few guys here that have that machine I'm sure the more they use it the more they report in on how it performs

 

[hogjowl]

Not you though. As soon as this is all said and done, I suspect you will disappear back into that money making cave from which you emerged.

I hate you.

Dave is switching from Butlers to a 1200? I will be in Knoxville on Wednesday so after the holiday I will call you and have lunch. My mom said you were very professional so I think you found a repeat customer!

Dave switched to the 570 which is a slide in not a pto (the 1200 is a pto).

 

[knoxclean]

think you have your daves mixed up

 

[davegillfishing]

yea if you were thinking of me i made the switch from butler to sapphire..love my butlers forever but got to say this sapphire is exceeding my expectations and performance

gets so hot you cant hardly hold the wand lol

very quality machine!!

 

[Ralph Pastorelli]

Too many Daves on here..lol

Regarding Marty's comment, The Pro 1200 is NOT new, it is a proven platform that White Magic created 20+ years ago. It is just slightly laid out differently. (From what I can tell, they simply set the exact frame/layout on top of a waste tank)

Take my word for what It is, I've owned/installed a few WM Pro1200's in the past, as well as butler.

Super simple to work on/Troubleshoot, compared to most slide-ins.
