Prowler 13 hp FOR SALE
« on: January 18, 2013, 12:14:08 pm »
Due to unforeseen circumstances i have decided to sell my excellent Prowler 13hp
I am the second owner of this machine which was originally purchased in 2010 from Resomate.
The machine is in excellent working condition and has recently had a full and thorough service along with some replacement parts :

1 New rubber coupler

2 New drive belt

3 Recent blower filter

4 Oil change in engine, blower and water pump

5 Brand new battery

The machine comes complete with the floor cradle and locking bar to secure it in your van, Royal purple oil and grease (the best lubrication money can buy) for the blower, electric water pump to transfer water from a tank, 400 litre water tank, 50' of waste water 2" hose, 50' of brand new 2" ultra flex vacuum hose, 50' of solution hose, all original instructions.

Anyone who knows me will tell you that i look after all my equipment, the prowler was no exception, after every job the filter was cleaned and the machine lubricated, the van is heated so the machine has never been left in the cold, i have personally only covered around just 15 hours with the machine (work being slow) :(

Performance wise it is simply amazing for such a compact unit, i have used 200' of hose and it still lifts the carpet!
The machine is used so it has a few scrapes and scratches which is to be expected.
I am based down in Aldershot, inspection and demo can be arranged - but please... only get in touch if you want to buy and have the funds, no time wasters please!
This machine would suit someone upgrading from a porty...

Is this petrol - if so going all day how much to run it- say on a ten hour day?

From what I've read I think your looking at around £10-£15 per day max.

And finally - I understand that the vacuum outlet could be split but would that give effective vacuum, cutting it in half and if it is half is that still considerable?

Think it does have auto dump but not so sure about the vacuum split, think you may lose power especially at over 25 ft of hose. I'm guessing you don't need this for carpet cleaning? I'm sure Russ will be along soon.

It isn't for carpet cleaning.

I am looking for the components on a wash water recovery system for pressure washing and want to utilise something like the Prowler for the vacuum but the vacuum needs to be split to allow two people to work simultaneously and collect their wash water.

It s simple to me - there will be bag filtration before the vacuum  inlet but it needs to be powerful enough for two operators.

An easier way would be to ask could the vacuum effectively work if there were two people carpet cleaning.

I will speak to Restormate

I understand...
Nope the machine is not designed to be split for two operators... not saying it cant be done but for what you need  i would say you are going to need a bigger unit...

So far... 30 watchers on Ebay and 1 day left, this would make an excellent, compact TM set up for a fraction of the price of a new one!
