Spoke to PT last week and am going to add a 5850 kit to my set up.  I realize there are more efficient options but i think this is a good place to start. The one issue I have, is he recommended using a 55 and mixing at the job site.  I have a 225 now and my single axle can't handle the extra weight so this might be my only option until I can upgrade.  I've already received some great feedback and believe me, it's greatly appreciated.

That's how I started and it worked just fine. You don't need some fancy skid and all the bells & whistles. If you want to up grade in the future fine. The key is to get started and get some jobs under your belt, the rest will follow.

Good luck and stay positive.

thanks Bruce, I'm just glad I'm not going up there with a pressure washer or surface cleaner (I saw a contractor doing this on a mansion right outside of Philly last week).

 We are using the 5850's again. Something changed with the Fatboys and we couldnt get the switches to last more than a couple days.

You'll really like the 5gpm. Its not too much but you can really move fast with them. And theres not much they cant do.

If you have any questions about anything you dont want on the open board, Im always willing to help out. 713 817 0322
