Hi Dave,
Why you asking?
Thinking of taking the plunge into the 21st century?
If it help I have got one and its the second one I have had !
Do I want to sell it ?
Not on your life !
-
What they like - 1100 hrs sounds a lot?
-
1100 hrs is approx 2 yrs ave work
-
Very easy to work on if you not too mechanically minded
-

Perhaps it is for the engine, depending how well it has been looked after.

I like Dave Ingram run one of these, they are the best trucks IMO easy to work on and produce great heat and suction. You do have to be a bit tech minded tho. If those hours are correct then it's a bargain at that price.
-
Lets just sit and think for awhile !!
18 Grand New!! and countless hours of bull poop from John at Woodbridges.
or 3 and a half grand off flee bay.
Ok so there 1100 hour on the clock, its run in, any problems and they'll show up on start up.
-
What's to look out for apart from it blowing up on starting?

Good Avatar Dave ;D
-
Dave don't hang around grab yourself a BARGAIN !!
As you all know I was instrumental in designing the Phoenix, but compared to one of these machines there is no contest. They are simplicity and very light weight. My first machine was a panther 20 and many can remember me having it in a Fiat Scudo. The one I have now is the 25 same as the one on offer and boy does it tick all the boxes.
Its ugly just like my last wife and unlike her its cheap to keep.
Don't hang around Dave its got your name all over it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Wow looks like I have a twin brother :o
-
I told wife No2 when she gave birth to Twins I was a twin but she never believed me ;D
-
Looks like the other one was strangled at birth Dave perhaps you were the good lucking one!
That tm looks nice but I have my eyes on a bigger prize and very much looking forward to it.

Sad thing about the picture they have illustrated its a stock picture and does not show its true condition.
As you can vouch for these machines having one yourself they are hot!!!!!!!
Knife and butter spring to mind but that's another 3,000 page topic I am not going into tonight ???

1100 hours is not a lot , we got 9000 on one of our truck mounts
-
It's gone now anyways.
-
What's wrong with your prowler?
Shaun
-
Not supprised , very cheap. Somebody's got a great buy.
-
Good avatar Paul. ;D
-
Shaun the prowler is in its 6th year and needs new heat exchanger. Would rather put the money into another machine. Saying that ill prob keep it and rebuild it in the future.
-
Wouldn't it be cheaper to fit a new heat exchanger?
Simon
-
Yes but fancy a bit more umph :P
-
If you fancy more power you need to spend some real dosh my Boxxer 427 was lovely to clean with it just had problems, GP cleaners get some good tms in you could even trade your prowler against one I'd start saving now good place to start is cancelling Xmas presents my kids are on the naughty list for not working on a Sunday but one tip is always make sure you get the mrs a present it is money well spent over the year.

Yes but fancy a bit more umph :P
Oh well, a Titan 875 should do the trick ;D
-
I've got a panther 20 & they are a very good simple machine with a lot of power for a cheap price second hand , keep a eye out there are normally a few about second hand , good luck ;)
-
pity we can't have machines like this for sale over here
