SS370 PEAK 500 APEX 570

[Jimmy L]

Which one would be the best buy or best machine to use for 70% carpet cleaning and 30% water restoration business?

Probably a ten year machine life span
Reliability
Performance
Price

A friend wants to know

 

[Kenny Hayes]

I don’t have any, but for o/o why wouldn’t the
370 be the ticket? I think even with small op
employees, it would be the ticket. Just an opinion.

 

[Trip Moses]

The only reason I chose the 570 over the 370 was the water cooled engine and the blower because of the helical gears. The helical lobes are supposed to be more quiet but I don’t think they are. The helical gears are definitely more durable.

 

[Mikey P]

Any commercial cpt?
Tile?

 

[Kenny Hayes]

If so, you take care of those with the Bane, Cobra 1200, and crbs Oh yeah, Cimex too!
Was that not an option?

 

[Jimmy L]

Yes to the commercial carpet and tile. Apartments etc

 

[Mikey P]

If price and space isn't an issue go with the 570

 

[Magic One]

For more power and longevity go for the 570

 

[Hack Attack]

They list fuel consumption on the Peak 500 at 1 gal an hr, whats the 570 drink in use?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Few people ever complain they bought too big. Although there are always those that regret not buying big enough. Air cooled won't make 10 years unless he is putting low hours on it. Liquid cooled powerplant will make the 10.

Classic “asking for a friend”

 

[Greg Miller]

I am 25 hours in on a new SS370 and i crazy happy with it.

 

[Andy]

I was told by a truckmount mechanic that the Kawasaki engine on the Peak needs the valves adjusted every 500 hrs. Other than that I have heard it running and it was quiet and smooth, maintaining excellent heat with a 4 flow wand at 600psi.

Isn’t titan 575 not on top of that list?

 

[Cleanworks]

Whats the price difference between them? Space needed in the Van?

 

[Chris A]

I looked at both machines at my local aramsco last Friday, thinking about ditching direct drive and going slide in on next rig. Both machines look really well laid out, easy access, etc. Me personally I'd pay the extra $2-3k for the Kubota in the 570
