NorthStar vs Doug Rucker Mad Max

You’ve received a lot of good advice here. We aren’t talking cars where an emotional connection is so strong. We’re talking about a utility that furthers your capacity to earn money.

This will not be your last PWer, so don’t sweat it. Neither machine puts you in the big leagues: you’ll need to reach higher, say the GX 630 or better yet the 690 or 800 before you’re rinsing like a big dog.

Is the gun and swivel worth $100? You’ll never be without that swivel once you’ve owned one. Your days of having your wrist and shoulder twisted ever time the hose flips on you will be a thing of distant memory. Ahhh, the good 'ol days :exploding_head:

I’m at a weird place with growing my business. I’d compare it to a tier system. I’d rank the legitimate professional guys in tier 5 and a total novice in tier 1. Going into 2020, I had so much momentum built up that I was ready to jump from tier 2 to tier 4. But Sniffles-19 turned the 2020 season into a lost year. I wouldn’t have an issue spending more money to get a better setup but I don’t know that I’ll have the clientele base to justify spending what it will take for a semi-pro set up. So I’m stuck right in the middle. I know far more than a novice but I don’t have the clientele of a semi-pro or pro. I don’t need my current purchase to be my last purchase, I need it to help me work efficiently enough until im ready to take the next step.

I’m just as confused about what to buy now as I was when I posted this lol.

Two people said Mad Max, a few said 50/50. Just gotta choose and go forward.

I believe the Mad Max on resell might net you a bit more. Or this would make a nice back-up machine when you upgrade.

Was that necessary? You come to a place to ask strangers for advice, and make light of a sickness that has impacted every single one of us. I personally know two people that died from Covid. Glad you’re healthy enough to joke about it man

You’ll make what you want depending on how hard you push. I started 6 months ago and I’m now I’m pulling $2000 weeks minimum (and that was in 3 days). I’ve spent $500 on advertising in 6 months.

If spending extra is in your budget then I would do it. If it’s not don’t. But if you’ve been washing already this should be a simple decision.

I’d look at these too, scroll down to the 18hp units on the one page. Also call The powerwashstore. Their the largest in the country and are in WI. See what they have.

Look, the advice has really been consistent, let me summarize by saying that you can’t make a purse out of a sow’s ear. You want tier 5? Don’t buy either. Both are tier 3 machines at best. Wait until you’ve done a few more jobs and buy a tier 5 machine: 690 or 800, and then come back for advice on THAT machine. You want to run with the big dogs? Stop whining about which little dog machine is better. Stay on the porch until you’re ready to big dog it, and stop wasting our time.

Oh, and the 10 days the I fought COVID-19? Miserable. Don’t ask for advice while belittling. You won’t get very far

You tell me to “Stop whining” and 2 sentences later whine bc I’m pro-face. I do apologize. It’s hard for me to remember that snowflakes melt when the heat gets turned up. “Belittling” might not get me far in here but having an immune system will get me far where it counts: life.

And before the predictable and tired, “you’re just a right wing Trump tard,” let me squash that real quick. If you think that 1 side cares more about you than the other, then I recommend just going back to sleep. There is absolutely no difference in the D or an R in front of the name bc neither gives AF about you, me, or anyone who isn’t the 1%. You think your vote matters? Lol. You think that mask is stopping anything? Kick up some drywall dust and take in some
Deep breaths and let me know how effective your face diaper is. I am a Free Thinker. TV and social media made it easy to herd the sheep. Why is the cold and flu down 99%. That’s not made up. That’s a real stat. Why aren’t the adverse side affects being reported? They’re quick to tell you a monkey in the San Diego zoo allegedly has Cooties-19 but are mum when it comes cases of Analeptic Shock that are piling up. You also know that the 4 vaccine producers cannot be liable for anything related to the side effects, right? Even better that these “vaccines” have a lower effective rate than the actual death rate. Surely you know about Event-201? Surely a big dog in the Pressure Washing world is also a big dog in the world of Paying Attention. It’s mind blowing that I have to remind the old heads to go back and listen to George Carlin.

Man that made a lot of sense, thank you! You changed my mind. Bunch of dang sheep caring about each other, can’t believe I didn’t see it before this.

I think you should buy the Northstar one, it’s a gem.

Y’all take your political BS somewhere else. This is a pressure washing forum.

Well, actually they aren’t down 99%, but can’t blame you for thinking that since the news reported it and you obviously follow the news to get the cherry picked pieces you use to make your claims. They are down though. Why? Because of hand washing, masks and social distancing. This is a washing forum, however and you would be best served pontificating on a Q forum or wherever you ilk congregate. Carry on.
