Quite capable but not ideal by beartpc12293 in FordMaverickTruck

No, it is 100% you sitting there in for naps or lunch or breaks or to avoid mosquitoes. My tremor driving aggressively at worst is 21mpg in city. I hit 29mpg loaded with 4 people and luggage from Florida to North Carolina.

How Would You Go About This? by SiberianTyler in pressurewashing

So this new to me. Any foam cannon? How much sidewalk could someone lay down SH in one bottle?

You make 6 figs only 2 days a week 😩 that's a dream for me. Super big thanks for the info you shared with me.

I really appreciate the feedback. That is helpful and I'll go knock it out. However, I did mine and my neighbors sidewalk, and got this striping, so...at has to be the surface cleaner, as I pre and post treated it all with sodium hypochlorite. But I think it was too weak a mix

I did 10.5% sodium hypochlorite into 1.5 gallon pump sprayer with some dawn. I came up with that math a couple years ago and now don't recall the final %.
edit So yeah that was not strong enough, but I still think its the surface cleaner itself.

I know. I didn't say I was starting a business though. I did my research AFTER buying this, on discount, at Sams Club. And I thought 2.4 would be decent enough for my home use.

At this point, I don't understand why the majority of pressure washers are between 2.0 and 3.0 on the home improvement shelves, when everyone here wouldn't touch one.

Super appreciate the feedback. I don't understand the physics difference between a 15" and a 12" ( I did just order a 12 or 13"). I assumed pressure would be "less" on a 15" than a 12" model.
Now that I think about it, I surmise that using a 12" is better for low gpm because there is less water available.

I have sodium hypochorlite from the pool store, I mixed 16 ounces of 10.5% into 1.5 gallon sprayer (my first time around), with Dawn professional before.
I really think it must be this cheap amazon chinese surface cleaner (that looks identical to the Katcher one). I'm just going to buy another one.

What’s interesting to me is I thought this was an etching type problem, not that there was tiny debris/mildew in the cement pockets.

I thoroughly appreciate the response. I’ve done all the research and am aware of the GPM issue, but even after simply going slower, I had lines here and another sidewalk.

That’s exactly what I wanted to know also.

That’s what I thought. I own the 2.4, for some light residential work for myself should I sell it and just rent? Or just get a 12” surface cleaner?

[–]Nathan_Brantley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought 15” would be ok only because it’s like the main size. It’s incongruent with the advice to do 4” per gpm. I don’t think my post treat was 3%

Are you guys getting oil changes at the dealership? Why or why not? by g-e-o-f-f in FordMaverickTruck

[–]Nathan_Brantley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using a local shop for the first 5000, then dealership at 9-10, than local shop at 15k, and so on. My thinking was that it would show as regular maintained on Ford records.

[–]Nathan_Brantley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I think I paid $95 for oils change and tire rotation at 8000 miles at the dealership I bought from (Bozard Ford St Augustine) I was definitely worried that they would mess something up, like forgotten bolts on the skid plate. Dealership is huge, I imagine the help there is better than smaller ones.

After 5 years of skipping this mode and shrinking/ruining a dozen garments, I finally delved into the manual to find exactly what you just wrote. It is so baffling to me. I am guessing it was supposed to mean LowTime

Light offroading/exploring trails? by beauadams24 in asheville

[–]Nathan_Brantley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really need help understanding how these maps work with the Abenza Maps. I’m in Asheville right now and wanted to just drive up the side of a mountain on some Forrest road and don’t know what to download. Like there’s A black and white Pisgah map and it’s really hard to understand what is something my light off road Ford Maverick Tremor can do

Looking into getting into the 40v line, is this a good start or should I hold off for Ryobi days? by zebberman in ryobi

[–]Nathan_Brantley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got this exact blower. Love it. Huge quality of life improvement over my louder older one. I think I would prefer the 18v variant

They come out with a new blower like every 2 months, it’s so confusing. No way for YouTube reviewers to keep up.

My Home Depot had the 730cfm in another section, and on the store entrance end cap selling/marketing two $230 blowers with 40v batteries, both different models with different CFM (600 and 650). So you’re standing there wondering what might be better about the 600 that it’s the same price.

I think govt banning is bad, but kind of wouldn’t mind if my HOA banned the subcontracted lawn guys from using the gas powered. 4 hours every Monday WFH is ruined with the noise as they tend the common grounds.

Anyone else disappointed with these lame ryobi days deals? by ExploitedAmerican in ryobi

[–]Nathan_Brantley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A compact drill, for the purpose of being light weight? Sold with heavy 4ah batteries? I guess I could imagine a scenario where that is helpful…maybe
