time to RENOVATE!

[Mikey P]

Lockheart's display at my dad's house has me thinking it may be wise to have a dirt digger, pile brush/ CRB that can collect the sand, hair, old pixie dust and what not.

My old rusted out 15 inch GLS will stay on the V for tile work and I'll be getting one of these to make the move.



I have a CGD job I've Cimex'd 30 or more times.

I wonder what this machine would dig up there...?

looks lik my yard rake i pull behind the tractor......

CRB Has anyone ever thought about what is going on when using one of these machines for dry extraction ? It makes me think of that little guy on Little Rascals that has that cloud of dust swirling around him. LOL As far as collection goes the only thing you are getting is heavy debri that accidently and luckly falls into the renovator bins. And that word renovator used in correlation with a CRB is quite the sales line. LOL This statement is about using a CRB for dry soil extraction.

Fugly however if you have pets or see a lot of really impacted carpet I can see where a crb could be helpful to have on the truck........but still fugly and unimpressive in looks.

yet another observation made on internet opinion and not actual useage..

 

[Desk Jockey]

A Host liberator would vacuum and CRB at the same time.

It would also look more professional and take two steps back down to one step although I don't know if I would risk damaging it as a precondition agitator. Lots of them used on ebay cheaper than a new CRB.

Don't need actual usage when it is so clear that a blind man can see it. It can also be called common sense. Jees You do know that I was talking about using a CRB for dry extraction.

 

[Desk Jockey]

So Mardie you're admitting you're blind?

 

[Mardie]

I was just talking to the Host supplier yesterday and he was telling me that he just got done using the liberator on a heavily soil impacted entrance matt and it looked like a finished job when he was done vacuuming it. Note: this same matt has just been done with hwe about 2 weeks earlier.

 

[Desk Jockey]

There are two on ebay right now a nice one and one much cheaper but a little rough. I saw one that looked great in Tampa for $1,600.00 but it was on Craigslist. : (

Ya I know I should not say anything negative about Mikeys banner guys. LOL

 

[Desk Jockey]

Ooops didn't know they had a banner. Please disregard my comments!

If you keep accumulating the latest tool of the week, before long you won't have room on the A-Tech.

 

[Mikey P]

Like I said, I already have one Marty..I need another crb now that I am a legit two trucker so I might as well one with the Renovatores.

Get a location! Big ole Trucks in the hood. Your neighbors must love you

 

[renegade_cowboy]

How much are they? I think the CRB with the cimex is the best encap combo out there. We prevac with the brush pro and then go over it with the cimex.. force dry and then go back over it with the brush pro. Had great success with that combo on dirty commercial carpets.

A good discussion would be the CRB being used in a residential setting for lightly soiled jobs. hmmm

Also, manufacturers don't like rotary machines.. so it would be nice if a manufacturer would step up and create a HWE CRB that we can hook up to our TM.

Im amazed the two that can see us don't bitch.

another good system for comm. would be pile lift with crb, vac, scrub encap in with cimex, and then OP. Every step makes the next step easier and faster. only down side is washing the pads when you get home. But I bet the results would be really good.

I hope you have a lot of helpers. That sounds like a TON of steps for a building of any size at all...if you were serious.

[Russ T.]

Oh, I read it again. Looks like maybe you were saying pile lift with vac OR CRB. I guess that eliminates one of the 18 other steps ;-)

You Trio fans do know the center brush does not touch the carpet, right?

Yes a 25 encap steps.

Mike,

I've seen the strong crb's on ebay for 1500 bucks new w/ renovators.

I've been wanting one myself for the same reasons you've brought up.
