I'm still convinced you need to take that tank to the county fair. $1 to launch a potato a 1/4 mile!!!

That is a beast!
Gary be sure to post some pictures of you cleaning from your lawn chair, with some lemonade in your hand!

they design those compressors to fit the truck perfectly. it wasn't luck that it fit so well.

Sure does make the truck ride better. My dually has overload springs on it. Used to belong to a lady that pulled show horse trailers all over the U.S.

The 700lb compressor mellowed out the bumps and hard ride. Pretty excited about the whole thing. Be glad to get it done so I can get some jobs done.

MAN that thing is huge, make my little rigid look like a baby!

garyw · Feb 2, 2012

I wouldn't recommend that size to anybody unless you have the truck to handle it. My 3500 series, dual wheel, turbo diesel is the truck to use. 700 lbs in the back of it is like a fly on an elephants butt. LOL

Gary so how far do you think it's going to shoot?

garyw · Feb 2, 2012

Your guess is as good as mine? I would guess more than 20', but less than 1000". biggrin biggrin confuse confuse Gary

guest

I think your going to need aleast 2 ground guys watering? your going to get over spray every where if you shoot from the ground? The wind is going to take it on the other side of the roof and spot of the deck, and etc.

How much gas will that burn an hour?

garyw · Feb 2, 2012

Probably still shoot majority from the gutterline, but there won't be anymore "I can't reach its". Us OLD guys don't like being on roofs. Need the extra distance. The whole set up, compressor and pump was under $1K, so if I have to, I'll go back to a fatboy. disbelief

Don't know. It is a 4 cyclinder, 18hp, 32 cu,in,electic start. With the 60 gallon tank, it won't have to run long for the average house.

I'm as anxious as you to see how it works, because I been thinking about moving up too.

garyw · Feb 2, 2012

Depending on the weather, I should have some answers in a couple of days. Temp don't really matter as long as it don't rain. suppossed to be in mid to high 50's next 5-6 days with some rain over the week-end. We'll keep you posted.
