would a TM work as a gutter vac or would there be too much crud that it would damage machine ? as obviously TM's aren't used to sucking leaves and moss and big chunks etc But i have heard people using there TM for pressure washing with vac so what you TM'ers thoughts Cheers.

You could Phil, however you would need to put a catchment/filter tank inline between your hose and waste tank. Gutter debris is hard soils, sand, grit and weeds. If this got into your waste tank it would take a week to get it back out.

Thats what i was thinking but a filter would just clog straight away i was thinking of a waste tank that could be easy accessed to empty

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm Not sure about this. Why use a truckmount for gutter cleaning. You need to make money using a truckmount and how long would it take to clean gutters. 1 hour? If that was the case you would need to charge too much for the service. Don't wish to sound snotty but you have a truckmount to clean carpets and anything else like gutter cleaning wont make you the money versus the time taken running the truckmount.
That's my humble opinion - but I will stand corrected by the gutter cleaners.

we use ours as a gutter cleaner Julian made a inline filter works very well and 50-100 pounds for 30 mins work without the worrie of damageing the inside of a custmers house money for northing
not sure the new t.m. will do it , as its may have to much power cant wait for the lion to land most funny seeing a truck mount with a lion on the front ;D
