what would you do

[Louis]

If you had to buy a used tm? This is just for fun.
Your budget is 15k. Doesn't matter if it's h/e or propane. You need at least a 47 blower so you can use your ss zipper for that 20k sq commercial your trying to get.
What would you be looking for and why.

For me I like the blue line thermal wave good heat and high psi.
The prochem 405, I just wish it was rated for higher psi. Love the ss570 but I doubt you could find one for 15k

 

[Mikey P]

No obsolete units imo

Couldn't you get a lightly used Legend GT that would meet those needs?

 

[Johnny]

Depends on how soon I needed a used machine. If soon, I'd see what Olson has. That Everest was nice. Or see if Bawb has a Steam Genie stashed away somewhere.

If I had the time, I'd like to build or refurbish one myself.

Something with a Liquid cooled engine over 29hp

 

[Steve Lawrence]

PTO! Power, capacity, dependability, ease of maintenance.

 

[Louis]

The legend is definitely the go to truck mount for used. But when you try to go above that it gets kind of hard.

I would buy anything that Olsen rebuilds.


No time limit you figure out what machine you want to look for and then hunt it down.

We have a couple of cleanco's for sale over here. Already installed in a van. One is asking about $16,ooo cdn but no hoses or tools. 2006 chevy savanna with 233 k on it. It's a cleanco 47. Probably get it for $10,000 cdn. Cleanco's are very popular here, not the hottest but very reliable.

$15,000 can go far for a used unit.. I would go with an Apex.

I see a lot of hydra-master 575 for sale that look good but I have no clue about them. I have yet to see a c4 or a accelerated tm for sale.

TSC in Loveland Colorado has a Chief II diesel unit with 200 hours on it....but he needs to get $19,000.
He also has a White Magic....my old machine. It's been gone over and in tip top shape, van as well! That machine served me very well I might add!
It's only a 45 blower but you wouldn't know it. All new hoses...very clean...very dependable. I never had a problem pulling 300 foot hose runs with her.

Is he selling your white magic as well?

 

[Newman]

Is he selling your white magic as well?

Just turned 10,000 hrs on my trusty 2001 White Magic 1200. It has served me well.

 

[Kellie Hiler]

Yes...they are selling my WM....it's got about 5000 hours on it but it's been very well maintained. I don't even know what they are asking for it yet but it comes in a 2004 E250 with about 50,000 miles on it, also well maintained, new tires etc. I used to have a pic of it but I must've deleted it, however I had posted a pic somewhere on here either last year or early this year.
