Has anyone used one of these with a big truck?

They work great but run it on low rpm's or a 50' 1.5" lead or you will burn it up.

 

[boazcan]

even if I lower the rpms, do you think the 1.5" hose is necessary?

I think I am going to try one, I have heard some good things about this one being able to hold up. Looks like a good idea.

One guy was saying that he puts a stocking on the inside of the hose to catch the debris and shows the custy.

No. Low rpm mode should suffice.

save gas and buy a pro-team super coach

It removes deeply embedded dust and dirt more effectively.

How would you know if you removed all the soil???
Most vacuums clean the soil off the top and once it "looks" clean people move on. In my experience there could be a ton of sand still there!

Steve, do you have a link for the Super Coach?

I guess I always thought that the extra hours on your truck, dragging hose around twice and the extra gas spent would not make it cost effective.

IMO

Boaz;

The new TurboCat EX is not the most reliable TurboCat for hi-speed TM applications.

We think the previous model with the "timing belt" holds up to TM vac flow better.

We have used & sold both of them.

I think Cowley got a line on something better than the turbocat, but maybe it was Lowe. I'm pretty sure it was one of the Gregs.

It could be Gary Heackock though. (Sp?)
