Wow and its only seven hundred fifty four thousand nine hundred and ninety nine dollars.,. Lol… Not a big fan of direct drive units…
LOL. Yeah its 7,549.99. I have read belt drive is better way to go.
Look around for a good used trailer, then build one. For 7500 you could build one with a belt drive PW and probably add a softwash system. Plus you’ll have some extra things like back up parts… When you build it you know exactly what you need when there’s pipe or fitting problems. It lets you understand your equipment better. Just my two cents.

Building is the way to go. I wouldn’t buy a northstar anything after an experience where I bought a northstar pressure washer. The pump was basically hanging off by one bolt and the drive shaft, two bolts were 1/4 inch from being seated, and another was missing altogether.
This was after putting 40 hours on it and I was lying down to change the oils.
Trying to get it fixed, meaning 3 bolts, without voiding the warranty was a headache I wouldn’t wish on anyone. You can spend $2k on a better machine, with the same Honda engine, a better BELT DRIVE pump than a Northstar, and $1500 on a trailer and still be ahead in not only money, but frustration.
Oh, and you can get a 275 gallon IBC tote on Craigslist for $60 or a 330 gallon for $80. At least in my area.
