Yes i could post in general cleaning but a lot on here also have this as an added service.
I started with a wolf machine, 8lpm machine when i knew very little and the machine lasted a whole 60 mins before water leaked into the pump. Soon realised that was money not well spent. However I bought a seperate lance, hose, turbo's and fsc which I have spare connectors for as I hire a gx390 machine from a local hire company. I dont heavily promote these jobs at the moment due to hiring a machine out, which obviously adds to the quote. The problem I have is that they also hire the machine to builders who destroy the machine.
So im scouting for a supplier to buy a gx390 honda 15 lpm machine without trolley n hoses etc as I will mount on a trailer with a 500ltr buffer tank.
Unless Im wrong and not looking correctly, Rutlands have come away from the honda machines and struggling to find what im looking for.
Can anyone perhaps point me in the right direction please

Q-washers are always reasonable for Honda p/w. but my advice is go for 21 lpm not 15

There's ya engine. We've had three of these, brilliant. Electric start too. Then see Ben at Rutland pumps for a pump. There's a shift away from the gearbox type pumps too, Interpump do quite a range without all that gearbox nonsense.

Rutland pumps or jetmac,
I’ve got a machine from both, I would go on jetmac website, he’s got loads of skid based washers.
Why do you want Honda? I’ve got two Loncin machines and they have never missed a beat in years.

Yep your absolutely right, i should have said 21 ltr, thats why im mounting it on a trailer with a tank. The machines ive been used to are 15 ltr tap plug ins and when the client hasnt got good water pressure, you sure know about it. This is why im thinking trailer and move away from reliance on a tap, (other than to feed into the buffer tank).
Cheers for the advice everyone, currently looking into the suggestions. I mentioned the honda because its what I am used to.
Ita well worth looking around at ideas, ie 2nd hand engine n new pump etc and suppliers. Some of the skids where it is engine n pump seem to be the same price as machines which come with trolleys and hoses/lances......
Yet thank you for all the suggestions as I am currently looking into them, cheers guys 👍

How much money have you got to spend?
Have you already got a trailer?
This is a bargain and if you are thinking of buying a trailer then it might work out almost the same price as building a machine from scratch ...
