Small surface cleaner nozzle test

I’ll have to change the “regular” under my name to “undetectably southern”, or, “yankee blood, southern heart”, or something like that lol

The nozzles i was referring to came in my NT powerhorse. Im sure you nevet used a cheapo surface cleaner either. I cant believe I used these things and not sure why i still have them

I like the undetectably southern. But seriously you should save for an 16 eagle wash. Easily one of the best purchases ive made. I remember telling my hotsy guy i couldn’t afford one and he replied i couldn’t afford not to. He was right. After my 4th cheapo powerhorse swivel broke on the first use!

I appreciate the suggestion, but I’m reading that that unit requires a 4gpm minimum, and I don’t have that.

I was weary also. I went to my dealer with my machine and tested one. It worked great. That was with my old gx 340 GP ez4040 direct drive set up. Which i am Currently using again. I had issues with my belt drive Monday. I was surprised to realize my direct drive is more powerful than the belt drive. I guess it had slowly lost power over time

Even then, your pump and engine where larger than my setup as I’m only running the GX270 vs your GX340. We don’t have any local dealers in our area to my knowledge. Not stating that driving two hours to a dealer isn’t worth it in the long run, but it isn’t high on my priority list at the moment. Like I said in the video, I’ve had this thing 4 years now and have had replacement nozzles for quite some time, I just never made it a priority to try them out. But I appreciate the encouragement.

I understand. I was wondering if yours was a 270. The eagle wash is so smooth. Never have to cut in on walkways or driveways. I remember my old powerhorse with the casters always having to cut in and getting dirt all over myself. I dont miss that. And the handle is so sturdy unlike the other one conected by my wand. Youll get there. I wish you had a supplier around you because i bet your setup could work

Look at you smiling like the butcher’s dog hauling that box blade on pallet forks with the mahindra, like you were happy to be there.

If this was tractor by net, I would have to alert the safety police to shame you for not having rear ballast while doing that. No, filled rears don’t count. :smiley:

I wasn’t too worried about a 3,600 lbs tractor capable of lifting 1,600 lbs on the front end loader just toting around an 800 lbs box blade!

And to know the conversations we were having during the video recording sessions before they did the voice over - things you’d couldn’t say in front of your mama, even if she was 100% deaf!

Just busting your chops, I do it all the time too. ON the tractor forum you would be shamed, shamed, and then shamed. If they found out that you were at a dealer, oh man, those keyboard commandos would go ballistic about how your teaching new owners the improper methods of transporting materials safely.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big believer in rear ballast. I had me and my old tractor lifted off the ground once or twice by some big root balls. Brown pants that day.

Easiest way to change the rear tires…don’t even need a jack - let the loader do the work for you by wedging it under something it can’t pick up! :sweat_smile:

Yeah, the skidsteer helping me move the rootball (hillbilly tag team tackling problems with equipment) stalled. The rootball started rolling over and my tractor went up in the air. I was trying to get off it and was stuck. I’m yelling at him with words I can’t use here about getting that POS skidsteer running.

I’ll never forget it, that and the day I wore soccer shorts on my tractor and hit a bump going down a hillside without my seatbelt on. My hands holding onto the steering wheel was the only thing in the workstation. That newer seat and those slick shorts didn’t mix well.

Got to learn from your mistakes. Seatbelt is always secure on any grade and while doing FEL work.

I love my 4 gallon for house washing. I started with a 3 gallon. Its the flat work im looking to really speed up with the 8. Maybe ill find it to be game changing for house washing. Ive never used one before

Bounced around on skidsteers and excavators. Had a buddy of mine who was learning on the skidsteer grading a big pad putting the spoil in a big mound.
Lost control going up to the mound, he freaked out and raised the arms while starting to climb the mount and tipped over.
He was safe, skidsteer was fine but he never wanted to use it again
