My limited research shows that the Honda gx engine is probably good with a Cat pump if possible. That combination is pricey. I'd like to spend no more than $500 on it tops. You fellas have any particular brands or models that you have found to be good and last. For medium duty use, cleaning concrete drive & shop floors, 4 wheelers, an engine now and again.

Had my friend go over them and they both work great for under $500. Let a friend have one for $700 and he loves it.
Don is working on an Alkota for me now.There is an Alkota dealer in Cherryville NC.
Hotsys can be found in SC too. I have only bought electric machines,so far.
All you can do is all you can do.

The pumps alone cost that much. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 461 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 461 | Home depot.....$599.00..looks to be the ticket. It's a Dewalt with the Honda GX and the later ones have the Cat.

$599 but none had a CAT pump. They do sell models with a CAT pump but not at this price per ther site. All of the units I had were commerical and all were about $2000 and were worth it. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 461 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 461 | Money Pit,
You gotta go to a brick n motar store and check thedisplay model. Thats how i found one...got a few scratches and scuffs but i don't care about that. Check the pump before you buy...newer shelf units have an offshore made pump by AAA; if i am recalling the name correctly. Had to go to two stoted to find one. Maybe hard to find but worth the effort if you have time. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 | I have since been offered a dealership by a large manufacturer of washers, compressors, etc. But Thanks for the comment of a real store v an online offering which is probably mpore current but doesn't tell you what is actually out there. | | |
