Kubota is a great diesel. We used Kubota engines in both of our designs. This appears to be the V 3 Series. Good ROCK SOLID engine. The engine model below this one was in our first design.

So I have a question......


If you order it with two pumps, both pumps are belt driven, how do you stop the other pump from working if you only need 1 pump for the present job at hand?

Is there a Clutch system to turn off one pump?

I think the picture displays both pumps are belt driven. I'm sure for hundreds more than a clutch would be worth and fail you could have one installed. Why have another part that could fail you, also with a trans your creating more expense then I would see running one pump would be worth.

Even if you had use of energy and wear on the other pump your not operating the cost of being able to turn it off to me wouldnt justify having a clutch.

Just my opionion not Johns I'm sure.

When you go this big, cost is a factor but not the only factor.

Now we all know that you and I do not actually go out and work with the wand all night. I don't know about you so much, but I only supervise and give breaks at times. 20 minutes or so of wand use per man. ( 45 minutes at the most per two man break ). The days of me working the wand for 5 or more hours a night are over.

But there are times when shutting down the one pump is required, unless you are going to use your unloaded all the time which would wear the unloader, possible the belts, pumps, etc. out quicker then just shutting down the pump.

As the thread says..." Big Boys ". And if you want a "Big Boy" you have to pay for it.

As far as the pumps, I think he would offer the 30 mil shaft INDUSTRIAL pumps as an up graded option on there. Sure the difference is about 3 to 600 dollars more per pump, but the pumps would last allot longer.

Ours pumps are 30 mil shafts as well. Our pumps that we bought and installed on our Delco D 6300 are still running. The pump was rebuilt in 1998/9 ish. We installed it right after our General 24 mil shaft pump went out in 1990/2000 ish. The general pump was around 1 to 2 years old. The 30 mil shaft pump in the Delco is still working everyday and is still strong 18 ( +/- ) years later.

You get what you pay for. No one gives you a BMW 650i series for a Ford pinto price. If you do know of someone, let me know.... I'll pay cash!

When we designed our equipment, we had to make some tuff choices. Always at the top of the list was the costs and the 2nd was, how high end do we really want to go or do we need that feature in our line of work?

Where do you draw the line and say enough is enough ?

I just hate Direct drive and trannys. Just my opionion, I will point out I have 20 times the hours on my equipment, you only run a few hours a week and mine runs nearly 15 hours a day.

Thats fine.... I do only run mine continuously 10 or more hours a day meaning NON stop at full load two to three times a week. Most pressure washer air cooled motors are not designed for that continuous work load for more than a few hours at a time. I know, I burned them up before, sometimes in a single weekend.

And granted we only put 5-900 hours a year, more or less, on our equipment. I am sure that your are correct in saying that you run your machines allot more and all the costs that goes with it.

To this date, we have not spent any dollars for break downs from our pressure washer. The first one we built is the same as well. No replacement parts. Just changing the oil and filters. That unit is going strong with 5 years on it.

The point here is that you can get a machine that has cheaper parts that MAY fail sooner than the more expensive parts. You either pay now or pay later.

As you know Ron, we cannot afford for our equipment to fail on the job. Our jobs are in the tens of thousands of dollars per day. Our customers don't want to know why it broke, or even that it's not our fault. They simple want it done according to the contract which ALWAYS has a time clause. If we fail to clean within that time, we get penalized. ( Our agreed prices gets knock down a few and our customers get pissed.) Its that simple.

So is our pressure washer "Over Built" to todays standards ?... YES, it is. Could we of built something like it for $30-40,000 less.... probably.

But as you have said before Ron, there is nothing like it and it is well designed and built to last.

If I ran my own I'm sure mine might not break either, but i dont run them and employees tare stuff up.

Large Difference between one man shows and muti units.
 
I can see that logic in what you are saying and I agree. Though we have as many as 15 guys on a single garage with our subs, we have noticed that our subs equipment does break down even though his is well maintained.

In the car industry as well, some auto manufactures have a better maintenance record than others. It's how they design the auto and the quality of the parts that are used in the unit.

If you build something with a spec of ( Just an example ) 500 rating. Some manufactures will say that they can bump that rating up to 640. Well that unit will have a greater chance of breaking down.

On the other hand, if you have a spec of 500 and multiply that number by 72% capacity, you could run that unit all day every day with little or no breakdowns.

Our unit is designed to 53 to 57% of specs limits with the exception of the boilers. No other unit is built to that design spec ratio that we know of. Meaning we have enough power to run another (2) 20 HP pumps ( Not belt spec which requires more HP as you know) on top what we already have it spec out.
