What pressure washer should I get

I have a dip in right now but back then a can was 3 dips. I’d horseshoe the whole bottom row lol

Yeah I’ve slowed down so much that a can lasts me 3 or 4 days. I actually haven’t been dipping for 2 or 3 years but I recently quit cigarettes and I’m using snuff and my vape to wean myself off nicotine altogether.

If you got it for free ,then that changes things and congrats. Still isn’t going to make you faster than the competition, but I do get you. I started out around three years ago with a Hotsy 1175 4gpm gx360 hot skid , Had to rob Peter to pay Paul to make ends meet a take out a loan for 8% .IT sucked. But now I have 3 hot machines including my old 4gpm that I still use,and plenty of work and hired hands all year. We are not telling you it can’t be done,Its just alot harder. I’ve been there done that got a T shirt kinda thing. But your ahead of the game already, I had no clue what PWRA was till my second year. You got nuts,not a doubt in my mind, I know what you do in your other job. Everyone just wants you to succeed ,that’s what this forum is all about bubby. I did tell ya thick skin if I recall right @OzzYMG ? If the grump PM me tonight and told me to wear a pink thong during work because it would make your machine run better, I’d be @ the nearest Victoria secret tomorrow. Not saying I’d wear it ,but it be taped on the Hotsy.:rofl:

Thanks again @Hotshot, I can feel the love, even if it’s the truthful in your face painful kinda tough love, from the guys here. I can tell they want me and everyone else to succeed. Once I get my feet wet (probably quite literally), I’ll be buying an 8gpm. I just need this to tread water and pay for itself right now, hopefully I’ll make some money to put back into it. I’m sinking every bit of my time and available assets into this to make it work. I’ve got 6-9 months to test the waters and grow this as much as possible.

I had to trade my generator for it but the generator has been sitting in the garage brand new in the box for 2 years now… granted I was deployed for about 1/2 that time, but still don’t see a need for one that big. I’ll get another later if I need to.

I got 2 and will loan you one if you need it when you get up and running

I may take you up on that, I go to NWA quite a bit to see family.

There have been plenty of guys that come to this forum and end up leaving because they can’t handle being told what they need to here. Although, pretty much every single person that sticks around and, implements the advice given to them, now have a very successful business. I have no doubt that you can too. You don’t have to have an 8 gpm to make money. Plenty of guys run a 5.5 gpm. It will make you faster though. Be sure to keep some money back for marketing. You have to market to stay busy and especially when just starting out.

I mean, predator generator ($650) for a GX390 4000/4gpm ($1100+) is a good deal in my eyes. Then again, I also got shingles in my right eye not too long ago and lost a lot of vision.

Yes agreed, I’ll have to have an aggressive marketing campaign to get off the ground. Matter of fact, I need to hit the marketing thread and get some ideas.

At least you got rid of the predator and obtained a gx390 @OzzYMG , there bullet proof. Be careful fueling that thing between rounds. Or get a gravity feed fuel tank.

Where are you in TX. One of my brothers is in Killeen with 7-17 air cav pale horse

Fort Bliss/El Paso 1st Armored Division also in the Cav, but we’re heavy and have Bradley Fighting Vehicles.

I don’t think those Bradley’s have helicopter blades so y’all probably won’t bump into each other

@Hotshot is in NEA. I’m in NWA. Stay out of my territory.
