Wi | 7110mag - 6/26/2014 19:22 I am thinking about buying one for the farm, and the one I've looked at are the 3000psi-4gpm unit on wheels or the 4000psi-4gpm unit on skids. Anybody own one of these? If so, how do like it? Wilson
It depends on what you need to do. A person who changes oil on their car, maybe changes a sparkplug in a mower and puts together a dollhouse likely sees no reason to own a $150 3/8 ratchet when a $10 can do the same thing for the little they need it. At the same time someone making a living working on stuff will get far more than $150 value out of the ratchet.
Same applies to pressure washers, especially on here. There are those who just use them to wash off equipment after planting and after harvest. Nothing wrong with that, thats all they need it for. Then there are some livestock farms that will use them to sanitize buildings when animals get moved. Theres people who make a living running them all day too.
If you do not put a ton of hours on one, then the price savings are worth it. If its something you depend on, maybe look around. Personally I got fed up fixing pressure washers every time I needed to use one. We use ours for washing down barns and hutches as well as washing equipment frequently due to mud, manure and snow. The more you use them, the more they can break. The best washers will still break, the best warranty is no good if you have to fix it yourself. Unless you have the time and patience. I had Hotsy start doing all of the work on our other pressure washers and when it came time for a new one, they got the sale. They would fix any brand though and carry almost every part on the truck.
Are you sure you want 4,000psi? 1,500psi is plenty for cleaning equipment. If that pressure and flow is what you are looking for, a 1400 series could work nice. We put one in last fall. I like how everything is hidden so people dont adjust things or try to fix things.
