Anybody ever use one for farm equipment? Are they worth while? Any comments? Thanks. Edited by bootheel farmer 11/19/2017 19:13 (Screenshot_20171119-190001.png) Attachments ---------------- Screenshot_20171119-190001.png (247KB - 410 downloads) | |||

Mid-Missouri | To add to the o.p., does using soap actually help with the pressure washer, or is hot water more important? If soap helps, what brand? It seems to me, the only way to get something clean is using a rag, but would love a secret recipe of soap if it worked on sheet metal. | ||

Lottsburg VA | They do an excellent job, I have used several different soaps through mine, but the best I have found for farm equipment was called tough mudder, even takes of old sprayer residue. Get an extra foam bottle when you order one if they fall over the threads have a tendency to break. | ||

Central ND | We use one, we still scrub with brushes and rags but they do help, we really like ours! | ||

MN | I really like mine, seems to work the best if you use that first thing on a dry piece of equipment, I went to the local truck wash and bought a 5 gallon pail of what he recommended for organic material, spray it on and let it soak a bit, still need to scrub a bit but that and hot water pressure will take care of 90% of it off first Edited by Birchcreek79 11/19/2017 19:29 | ||

I have used a foam cannon washing vehicles and equipment various times and works great. It saves having to scrub what your washing and the chance of scratching it but does just as good of a job. I also use the tough mudder soap and is awesome. | |||

So. IL | Work great, you can power wash off about 95 percent of it with out scrubbing. | ||

N.W. Illinois | Agree they do work however we've found they work best on a cloudy day with some humidity and no wind. Early morning helps too. Foam last longer and doesn't start to dry or evaporate off. | ||

West Central IL | Love it, bought one about 6 months ago from the chemical guys. Got the green soap with it. Don't need a bucket of soap anymore. Still need to lightly scrub if you want something all the way clean. Had an oil line blow under a versatile this fall. Loaded the reservoir with degreaser soap. It foamed the whole shop up, but dissolved all the hydraulic oil out from under it with no scrubbing. Works great on implements that you normally don't scrub, you can get soap all over it and let it work. It takes a bit more soap than they recommend to get a good foam out of it. It's also good after using a tractor to spread fertilizer, I can foam soap all up in the under parts and let it neutralize the fertilizer that I normally don't get too. I have tried other bulk soap from our napa and it works just as good. | ||

Great attachment and you can literally paint something white with foam. Gets a nice even coating of foam /soap on what you are washing. I still like to use a soft car wash brush on an extendable pole used for a paint roller to get things really clean. I've found that warm water tends to help a lot. Really hot water tends to bake the dirt on in my opinion. Got mine off Chemical guys on Amazon have been using the thick green honeydew soap which a little bit goes a long way. Here are some pics not fully painting the truck white but wanted to show how it works. Thanks to Ron L. for the tip on the foam cannon. | |||

http://www.chemicalguys.com/default.asp https://www.amazon.com/Chemical-Guys/pages/3020674011 I think their foam cannons are probably supplied by or made by MTM. Tough Mudder soap. https://www.amazon.com/Chemical-Guys-CWS20216-Tough-Mudder/dp/B06XNWLC14 | |||

Ron..NE ILL..10/48 - 11/20/2017 06:47 Re. the car covered with foam in the OP, I'd be interested in what was used for soap there. I've never seen that type of coverage. Notice the long stands of foam dangling from the front air dam. We get good coverage, and we use 100% softened water, but still that photo has unbelievably thick soap coverage. Anyone else get coverage like that? Does not show in my pictures below but the chemical guys Honeydew Snow Foam will paint a vehicle that white if you set the dial on the foam cannon to maximum. | |||

Virginia | Here is a clip of a system I use. It work good for big jobs where you need to cover a lot of ground like foam disinfecting a 30,000 sq ft barn. Foam quality is related to type of soap and pressure. The soap in the video is not a foaming soap, but if you add enough foaming agent you can make shaving cream. And hot water helps foam formation a little. The foam injectors that go on the end of a gun will operate at a higher pressure and make a better foam. If you are doing a big job the bottle will need to be filled often. Edit to add that I talk a little funny, but I can't help it.

Chebanse, IL..... | Thanks Von & Boog. I did not realize "The Chemical Guys" was a bonafide sales website. I thought it was just a generic description of someone in the general business of selling chemicals somewhere in Smallville, USA. | ||
