TRYING OUT A HOT PRESSURE WASHER - What worked best?

One thing we are yet to invest in is an industrial pressure washer for use around the farm and buildings. We were super excited to try out this electric machine which also has a diesel boiler for using it in hot mode.

I live in a ex council property and I have a hot pressure washer my neighbours think I’m mad but I have 5 dogs and 4 kids and fairly large garden you can’t beat cleaning with heat great episodes guys keep um coming awsome adventures

[@martyletitbee1519]

Nice light hearted video. The stress relief of a good old power wash!!! The little old power washer had adapted and over come to be a camera tripod. There could be a disney film in that or a children's cartoon series.

[@jaymeharl3270]

I always loved power washing. As for a hot hose, I once worked in a commercial kitchen, and our end of night cleanup we did with a 120 degree hot hose. The nozzle was brass and you had to wear gloves to protect your hands from the hot hose and nozzle! But it left the hoods, spring kettles, stainless tables and tile floors gleaming!

Instead of using virgin aggregates, looks like you've got a lot of concrete on site that you could break up for new subbases etc. So you could hire a concrete crusher, which is a really sustainable way of recycling high carbon materials

I bought a kranzle following a couple of mentions previously. It’s amazing. Electric, compact and just solid bit of kit..

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Where was my invite!! Looks like a beast of a machine :D

[@skaterguy52]

Not a patch on your new setup. 👍👍👍

[@TheRestorationCouple]

It did the job great but I wish we had asked for some other attachments, especially for the yards! We will sure to have you over when we get started on the barn, might need all you can throw at it! 😂

[@jandavis1523]

@@TheRestorationCouple Hi Hodgepodge folks! I was just about to recommend Sid - great minds!!!

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

@@TheRestorationCouple Would love to help :D & yeah a surface cleaner is probably about 10x as fast on flat areas like that it's nuts. I've seen a lot of similar machines to that though i think theyre used really often in factories cleaning out greasy units etc. Heat on command without all the faff of a big static system.

[@ianbambury3717]

Get a turbo rotary nozzle for the lance, the difference is amazing

[@markwatters6875]

Well it looks like the little lady loves pressure washing. You need to look at a trailer mounted system so that she can run her own little business around town, lol. Thanks for the video 👍🇦🇺

[@poonabear]

A video on painting that dumper would be ace. I do love a refurb video. I love pressure washing more though 😂

[@james-jq8sk]

Your outbuilding roofs would probably benefit from some pressure washing love too 👍

[@kevinsaunby982]

Maybe they’re asbestos so maybe not

[@coop_coop007]

I have used pressure washers/steam cleaners a lot. If you can centralise the machine, even a non-portable one, in a building and run the hose out to where you need it they can last longer and run cheaper. Only works if you use it within a reasonable radius of the outlet, you can of course run hard lines to where you need the outlet and the hose from there. Also keeps the machine free of frost which is a not infrequent killer of these and other water filled devices.

[@richardferguson6891]

Nail guns! For cabin or garden office, one or two guns are needed, but expensive to buy or unknown second hand!

[@ABW777]

Need a turbo nozzle on the end of that

[@lindabullock742]

Jo looks like she’s having the best time…🤣🥰🇦🇺

[@justwannaridemabike]

First, this is great… pressure washing is so satisfying!

[@54mgtf22]

Love your work 👍

[@adamdiaz8442]

Who said a man can’t buy his beloved a appliance for Xmas 😂

[@richardphillips3303]

Everyone needs one of those, unfortunately for about 4 hours every year! 😪..awesome bit of kit though and thanks for sharing 👍 😀

[@AndrewLumsden]

Ooo that's useful. I might investigate hiring one to clean our church's path. Before you paint Humpty, slap some Jenolite on all the rust!

[@andychumley3680]

Just what you need to clean all that farm equipment, and satisfying, not sure you will benefit from cleaning the yard much, as it will soon be back to how it was! 👍

[@Dannyp8038]

Great Friday catchup as always.

[@martincraig1974]

Put a mask on my brothers mate was pressure washing his drive and unknown to him he swallowed a bit of green mossy liquid that splashed and he was in a real bad way nearly lost him. Stay safe 👍

[@christianmoss4603]

If you’ve got a karcher centre near by you give them a call as quite often they will bring demo machines out for you too try so you can pick the right one for you

[@alanmackey5496]

Is there worth in a rock breaker hire tool review - for breaking up a garage or driveway concrete floor. Many thanks and the channel is great

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Great suggestion! Its on the list

[@jodirauth8847]

I love love love to powerwash

[@mechanoid5739]

I would suggest wearing a full face, face shield when pressure washing. Getting a blowback of high velocity grit isn't much fun!

[@jlmfoy365]

You have to be careful cleaning old machines Jo and Tim, very often it's only the muck holding them together. Regards Jim.

[@cwoook1]

Industrial Power Washers can be picked up fairly cheap at Police Auctions Tim.🤓

[@MagicianMan]

Seems a little underpowered tbh.... Don't they supply one of those rotating nozzles? My Karcher K4 Full Control seems just as powerful based on the yard cleaning part of the video I have watched so far.

[@andrew4804]

I’d have thought the yellow wellies would have come out too match the colour of the karcher pressure washer

[@stevewoodw]

I had a hand-vibration problem once using a pressure washer and thought about getting some padded gardening gloves - this might be a good idea if your hands start getting a bit hot on some of the pressure washer settings. I hadn't seen one of the extensions used until I saw this the other day - cleaning out the inside of a barn ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5aZZJyVq99rfNU check about five minutes into this video). Also, I have some reallly cheap plastic waterproofs for outdoor activities and something like that could be sprayed down afterwards and left to dry - it looks like a lot of fun to get a bit wet but you might be a bit bored of it before long. MartyT the Kiwi guy sprayed down an old tractor with diesel to reduce rust getting worse - it might be worth considering for the older machines after you've greased them. Maybe just make sure they're stored in a place puddles don't gather beneath them and possibly tie a tarp over them. Guess you were going to do that anyway...

[@swabs7004]

Jo just managed to keep together after your long hose remarks 😂

[@dougsaunders8109]

Big tool lots of power that’s what we want 😂😂

[@WillC441]

Powerwash Simulator in real life. 👍

[@matthewwakeham2206]

Avoid power washing asbestos down pipes (can be 50% asbestos), cladding or roof sheets. Anything like that is best left undisturbed until it's removed. Using extension leads with pressure washers leads to premature motor death. They recommend a longer high pressure hose instead.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

We actually chatted with Karcher at a show last week and they suggested exactly that. I think going forward if we get our own machine, we will aim to have in central and run the hose out further, 👍

[@martsbargeorge5449]

Can I bring my 32 ton truck up to you for a nice clean 😂😂

[@jonbailes1934]

No hosepipe ban where you are then?

[@karlkerkhof7966]

Why is she wearing sunglasses

[@yojop123]

Am I seeing this right, your water runoff is just going into the ground and the fields? Are you not concerned polluting your own fields with washing off the oil and grease of vehicles without proper water containment?

[@SiAnon]

Think that needed a dirt killer nozzle.
