So what were your impressions of the SS870 ?

[Mikey P]

Anyone @ MF get to play with it?

 

[dealtimeman]

Didn't go and have never seen it but the components used on the unit look top notch and proven thru out various industries.

Reading a lot of good things about this motor.

I also am very fond of the blower being used as it is my favorite all-time blower.

Don't have the spec for the pump othre than it is 2500 psi and 5.6 gpm.

Looks very promising on paper.

Does this unit have the muffler/silencer running through the water box?? I understand that other SS units use this tecnique to "pre-heat" the water?? How do you get into that water box to clean it out? Just sayin'.....

 

[GeneMiller]

i have access to my water box and i still have never cleaned it out.

The exhaust is entirely isolated from the inside of the water box by stainless steel on the SS370 HX I saw up close. I'm sure the 870 is of identical configuration.

Had my hands on the full line in Phoenix last year and pretty sure the 850 was in the line up. Every machine is going to need belts, hoses, fluid changes and an occasional pulley bearing. Pressure pumps will consume a couple rebuilt kits and the engine will consume several sets of plugs and air filters. That being said I'll bet it's a 10,000 hr machine easy, a huge money maker especially if you run a crew of two techs.

[dealtimeman]

Did anybody get a video of the unit running?

Has sapphire done any noise measurement like db readings on that unit?

 

[sweendogg]

they are missing the mark by not offering it standard with 2.5 hose like cleanco does on their units.

It is plumbed for 2.5.

The production version with have two 2.5 ports.

I ran it with two 2.5s coming off the machine followed by another 50 of 2 inchers and it got to 14 inches nice and quick.

Seeing how SS has sucked in most of the top people in this industry, it sure appears that they are here to play for a long while. I'm not too worried about them folding on us. Although with players like White Magic, Powerclean and soon to be toast Hydramaster closing up shop, one always has to worry.

Butler should be fine with Snow around but I even worry about Prochem hanging in there if things dont improve soon.

Who knows I could be totally off base here.

All I know is, their support of the Board has been tremendous, they continue to come out with new innovative product, dealers are fighting to have a territory and I see no signs of slowing down.

I'm going to let them produce about 30 of the 870's and if it does not turn out to be a big turd, most likely it will be my next Vortex Killer.

 

[sweendogg]

sweet... they had on their website that it was coming with 2 inch hose.. didn't even mention 2.5.

 

[sam miller]

It seems to me if You let all your talent go engineers and chemists that are proven. ie PC, and these guys go elsewhere this is what you get! Good luck Sapphire the new Prochem.
