Blockquote You can buy a 5.5 gpm machine with the same engine new for $1500. The pumps just not as good
I’ve only seen one 5.5 go in that price range… The “bandit” but I think it had pretty low psi, 2400 I think.
The smaller 13hp engine can’t drive much more psi at 5 gals…
Have you found a better 5.5 set up at the price you mentioned?
Nothing wrong with buying used equipment if you have the knowledge to fix it and make it useful. I have purchased and rebuilt a lot of used equipment and or built my own setups before. However, if you’re having to guess what something is or having to ask how to get it fixed that is a clear indicator that you should probably not go that route.
I tried copying the link, but my phone is acting funny. I think its rebelling since I won’t update to the new iOS.
With 5.5 gpm you could probably get by with a 35 gallon buffer tank that fits the floorboard of a Prius… or on the ground by your machine.
You can buy a brand new 4gpm 4000psi with cat pump for about $1300. Great little machine that you can use for everything, just a little slower on rinsing and flatwork. And you won’t have to spend a second messing with it. And it’ll be paid for in literally no time.

WCR will finance for less than $50 a month.
I stand corrected it is 3000 psi
Watercannon has 4k/4GPM PW with a tri-plex GP EZ pumps and unloader for 1149.00. It’s the one I bought and no issues thus far. 3 yr Honda warranty on the engine. Free shipping. Also bought the GP 20" surface cleaner at the same time for 289.00, same one Northern Tool sells for 389.00.
I knew next to nothing when I bought it, now I know just enough to know how much I don’t know but this has been a good beginning machine for the past year or so.
