Honda gx 630
« on: February 15, 2013, 10:33:12 pm »
Has anyone got 1 of these or used 1
It has a 30ltr/min flow with a 23hp engine

Are they any good
Are they big and heavy

I'm looking for a very good and very reliable pressure washer one that can handle big jobs but also suite able for the smaller jobs I will also need to load/ unload from the vans as and when needed

Any thoughts about the Honda mentioned or any others

Why do you say that it looks a great machine to me, but I'd like to know some views on it if anyone has used 1, also wonder how it compares to the zeta maybe rob m could say

Dave

I have never used one but I have looked at them regularly on Ebay. Because they are petrol - would be the reason why I wouldn't buy the machine.

I would say a solid machine, reliable, could easily be split to twin operator @ 15 LPM.

Dave I have just sold Simon @ Pristine a 30LPM jetter. I think he will say if you are used to 15 - 21LPM and you step up to the bigger flow rate machines you will notice a massive difference and this all adds up to quicker working times.

If you want to chat about budget but you don't want to shout about it on here - give me a ring.

Just had another look at one, £3100.00, surely there will 20% to go on that.

If you are going to spend that amount secondhand will buy you more machine but you may need to mess about a bit.

Rob ;D

Dave didnt you sell a honda diesel 17lpm before xmas cause you were looking for a smaller machine?

Rob just been playing with it!!!
Sorted exhaust, filter,moved battery higher up,  been split for 2 operators and still got a good kick when both in use.

Great stuff

Still been a bit cautious about it working ok for you. Have you left the twin inlet on it and have you managed to get the tank welded back together.

No dogs shot yet but I am looking for an automatic machine gun for the near future.

No issues with anything with it then?

Rob ;D

Just leave it set up twin, as long as a lance is connected to both reels there shouldnt be a problem should there?
Not bothered  about tank been welded back it aint an issue.

Anyway the rob mclean moneyback guarantee under written by arther daley car sales put my mind at ease!!!  :o

Got a few jobs in for next week so I wil let you know..keep the helpline on.

Thanks rob I will prob call you tomorrow or Monday

Yes I did sell a 15ltr / min diesel but it wasn't to buy a smaller machine it was to buy my wheelie bin cleaning set up but due to staff problems and no time for me to do it its getting sold so I will be buying a new pressure washer as I already offer this and do a fair bit yearly, but I want a high spec one and one which is going to last that's why I'm thinking of the Honda gx630 30ltr/min

Rob where did you see the 1 for £3100

You can get high hp diesel machines for the same money, if not cheaper.

Rob that's the 1 I've seen tried calling the guy but no answer, how easy is your zeta to get on and off the van

Matt I know but I've always found diesel ones to be a lot heavier and also noisier also I know Honda engines are very reliable

I've had different washers in the past but this time I want to get a new 1 and 1 that will last and do for large and small jobs, hence this time I'm not rushing into anything

Dave

Just drove to Staines.

My Thor (is bigger than the Zeta) is heavy - 200 kilos but they are on pneumatic tyres and I have two scaffold planks cut in half to push/pull it into the van. I can do it on my own but the last time I slipped on the wet van floor and fell over.

I think you are paying for a similar level machine as the Zeta, I don't think it is much more. You are getting hour clock, Z1 unloader, they are a better put together machine and a lot sturdier.

Its Honda - should be bulletproof and shouldn't let you down - ever but if I was spending three grand I would have a drain jetter and make it suit my purpose. There are a lot of variables, what flow do you want each man to have, how much room have you got, are you leaving it in the van, will you really be pushing the service and expecting daily activity from the machine???

For me bigger is better and I buy for kit to not let me down, when I need it

Rob ;D

Rob ummmmm I've been thinking very hard about this I will need to get it into and out of the van as it won't be left in there the thor is out of my rice range the zeta is border line but the Honda might be acceptable

Are these heavy machines or can they they be moved around eaisly

 personally i would of chose a diesel model as it would be a bit less thirsty and also no chance of getting fuel mixed up with the diesel that you will be using in the hotbox

I have my buffer tank mount on a fixed frame against the bulkhead approx 1ft above the floor with a small electric winch fitted underneath so I dont struggle putting the PW in the van
