The new tools...

[Johnny]

You were giving me crap a few years ago about how long it took to prescrub HWE with my Brute. Same type of lawnmower. But it works great.

How much does a brute weigh?


My apologies..

No need to apologize. But to do the same level of scrub a wheeled OP may not be slower than a 175. A soft Tuway pad under an OP does a killer job on even heavy soil. For heavy, oxidized grease, a striped or fiber pad is faster, but fiber pads can chew up the pad driver Velcro. And an OP is safer than a 175 for an inexperienced helper.

Don't know what a Brute weighs, but it's less than most 175s.

Sorry about that Willy....

Why? By the end of Saturday, my week's take will be in excess of 7 K. This is an exception and not the rule, but those numbers give me a boost to do it again with even higher goals.What works for me isn't for everyone, but I've learned how to use my weapons to my best advantage. I just booked 4500sf strip and wax and 24000 sf of carpet for mid July. Life is good.

That's ok William, when you work alone and with a porty no one expects to make real money!

7K and no TM you are the man!
Well more like Bruce Jenner!

Cleaning with a portable isn't what drives me nuts, its the set up and tear down...including looking for the ideal place to set up the "fill and dump" hoses.

It takes me two seconds to decide where to put the dump hose when I run my CFX 15. The machine is always set up outside and the hose trickles into the foundation mulch area quite inconspicuously. This picture was taken a few days ago near the end of a two hour job where possibly 20-30 gallons was dumped into the rocks. The 360i and wand ran continuously so I have no idea exactly how much water was used.

Have you given any thought to heat?/ And there's no way on God's green earth you can run 2 of those 8.4 vacs AND that big ass Cat pump on 2 circuits, way too many amps. I'm not trying to be a negative Nelly , but reality is never fun.

If I remember correctly, Jim Martin was thinking about selling his big truck. Maybe he would sell it to you with the toys in it already.

 

[Mikey P]

[Mikey P]
