The next step would be a 18hp kohlar engine with a 21lt pump, before you hit the big guns  with big engines & 10gl/min pumps.

What will you be using it for? Waste of money and fuel To go bigger than the 18hp if you are only cleaning driveways

This is what I have http://www.wrightwayservices.co.uk/products/trolley-mounted-cold-pressure-washer.php
It being diesel that has paid for itself in the first year in fuel savings.

what Hp is the Lombardini? i have the same pump on a 18hp kohler.

they are not much quicker maybe 20mins on a 2hr job but its the convenience of having that extra power when using a turbo lance on weeds.... it just rips them out

What about maybe a 21 litre interpump on a 13hp honda? around 1400 new?
mike, the interpump you have is it a ws202 mate? if so have you tried using it with a 13 hp honda or even a diesel kubota say 12/13 hp? or the like? Just thinking it might be cheaper on fuel to use a smaller engine mate?

My Lombardini is 14 hp. The 18 hp Kohler command will burn the same money in petrol that the diesel will in a day using cherry. Thats why I bought the Lombi to replace the Honda.
You could just use the ws202 on the 13hp Honda which would be a cheaper option then find a S/H diesel on flea bay later

I have a triler mounted cleanwell hot and cold pressure washer with a kubota 12.5 hp diesel engine running a 21 litre interpump (ws202) belt driven also has a boiler system on to create hot water, may be selling that for around 1700 if interested? i'm in the process of fitting a new alternator so may only be ready in a couple of weeks
Also will have a Honda gx390 petrol on a trolley with an interpump 202 (21litre) that will be for sale next week, will be hoping for around £850 for that if interested

I dont live far from you either poristine (wigan)

Its quite a small trailer compared to similar spec trailers like the edge grimebuster, etc, id say it's a 6 x 4 size, I had a complete new boiler system fitted last year, the engine is pretty simple to service, easy access air filter, and oil drain plug etc. give me a ring in about 2 weeks mate if you want and you can come and try it out, just need to get round to fir=tting the new alternator on, also adapting it so that there will be a 240v socket in case you need to plug a work light in if working at night doing gum removal, which was my intention
