I'm surprised this has not had any bids, although someone may jump in at the last minute, but the buy it now price is a bargain for this machine and accessories
http://www.ebay.co.uk:80/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270948558707
2 grand for a low hours machine like this is a bargain, a kholer water cooled engine should last 5-6k hours
-
Excellent buy, water cooled engine and the 3000psi pump is handy too.
-
My steamway has almost 6k on it and is still going strong so no reason a kohler if its been well looked after shouldnt.................Alan

It's the age old story - those who appreciate what a steal this is are all already t/m'ed - those who aren't often find it difficult to work out what potential increased income this could bring ???
-
im looking and wheying up pros/cons.
-
M.W. are you sitting on the loo? Looks like it :o
-
Wow still no ones bid on it, it's £1200 and no reserve!
2k for a decent TM with loads of life left in it.
Some ones asking 2.5 k for a non running dog of a spitfire 4.0
-
40 People watching it wish they get the bidding started ::)
-

I was going to keep the van to use for my window cleaning but seeing how many mpg I get from the diesel I decided to get rid of the van too as its perrol
-
personally i'd stick the trucky in the van and sell it as a ready made business, saves buyers faffing about. just a thought.
-
The reason for sale???? ???
From someone who appears well established and doing well... then asking advice on chasing up to 5k from debtors one of which who has gone into administration owing 2k...
I really do hope its not forced upon.. seems like a decent lad (although not known personally)....
-
How much would the last step chemical feed cost to repair? and how much is a new battery Steve? ;D (or anyone else)
And how much vac and solution hose comes with it?
-
Don't understand the 2k buy it now, surely worth more than that if in good order. ???
-
No idea about cost of repairing last step injection 50ft of each,battery £30-40
New van and machine reason for sale
2k buy it now as its just taking up space in the unit
-
I am very tempted to buy it
-
Got to be worth a punt for someone.

Selling my prochem blazer next week in a van at this rate I'll be lucky to get £50
-
If I was selling a T/M I'd stick £400 on the price and offer a full day training including going out and working on actual jobs,
the biggest reason people don't buy 2nd hand truckmount is fear its got problems or they don't understand them. If a truckmount runs long enough to clean a suite then it has no problems......... i wouldn't buy a truckmount that is started for only 30seconds
-
This will transform someone's business, especially at this sort of money.
-
I wouldn't worry about fixing the last step chem injection, if it's not an easy fix just leave it not working put a splash of fib/fab in the clean tank.
To get TM'ed at this price is a great opportunity, I can only guess it's more a case of no portables c/cers are growing in business to move up.
I'm sure going back a few years this would have snapped up.

-
Someone has got a bargain
-
How much did it go for?
Simon
-
just shy of 1500.
-
I couldn't figure out why you would downgrade from a dual operator machine with 3000psi pump and a decent 25hp kohler water cooled engine to a boxer with 1200 PS I? Pump and a 21hp air cooled b and s engine which I don't rate.
-
I always remember that (I think Lee Grundy) said that the Boxxer 421 was 'plumbed' better than a 494 as he was looking to buy one at the time also the foot print of the 494 was far bigger and heavier and thinking about that there must be loads of space left for say Window Cleaning equipment.

As Shaun says smaller machine hence more room in van all well and good having dual wand machine but if your a one man band not much use.
