Look at the psi ratings on them. They typically are fairly small from what I've seen

There are a few in the 2200PSI area for $100-150. I'll be using it for cleaning the deck and teak furniture. I'm just. It sure if I need the 3K PSI to do that stuff.

I have a 2800 psi gas pressure washer. Love it. Comes with different nozzles so you can vary how to use it.

Today we're celebrating Easter with Tara's family. Afterwards I'm going to go check out a Kubota tractor with a friend of mine. It has a LA481 loader, so more than likely it's a L3010HST or a L3410HST. All I have to go by is the pics my friend sent me.
Please let me know what you think it's possibly worth. It will mostly depend on financing terms. If the terms are too short, I can finance a new one for the same monthly payment and might go that route.


EDIT: Nevermind about the tractor. As I suspected, he values it at slightly less than new ones were selling for 15 years ago. Maintenance may have been done regularly back in the day, but both filters showed dates from 4-5 years ago.

Missing beer, unfinished beer drinking establishments, selling projects!
You leave for a few weeks and everything goes haywire!

As for a Jeep project. I have one I'll sell you once I finish it. 93 Wangler 5 speed, 4 cyl. Hopefully, but probably not, it will be done by next weekend once I finish buying the parts.

Well got alot done this weekend. Window cut in and bedroom wired, insulated, and drywalled now just to get my finisher in there. I will be drywalling the rest of the main living area in the basement this coming weekend then play the waiting game until he is done and I can do the flooring and the ceiling. I may start working on the bathroom while he is working.

Found out the F150 loves to carry almost 2000 lbs in the bed 30 sheets of drywall 20 2x4's and 2 rolls of insulation.

I worked in the pantry all weekend. Eliminated the crappy wire shelves and replaced with some real ones, also added an electrical outlet. bottom 3 shelves are 16" deep and the top 2 are 12" deep. Also in an L shape now to be more usable.

Hope to have the top shelf in tonight, then start on the finish work. Fill all the nail holes and blend in seams to make it pretty.

Today was my last day of work at Vanguard. My manager called me at 4:30pm as I was driving home. He said that there wasn't any work in my area for the rest of the week. He said that I would have to drive 2.5 hours down to the shop to work, "so why don't you just take your final 3 days of vacation and we'll pick up your work van on Thursday. "
My wife said she didn't think they would let me finish my 2 weeks out. She was right.
Glad it's over.

Then Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I get to relax at work. I'm off the week after next to finish getting crap done around the house... oh I have to find time to build a good portion of a ss exhaust for my buddy too... summer sucks because the bill for being lazy all winter is here!

Thanks! I don't have much that I can do at the moment. I'm more or less waiting for the contractor and his subs. I'll probably end up painting the bathrooms.
