[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 7840286, member: 818"] I would say the landy is a step up on drain rods, but its not a commercial grade machine that you'd want to try to do miles and miles of heavily silted drains. I bought one about 2 years ago, and used an old spray tank on the front linkage as a bowser: [ATTACH type="full"]997673[/ATTACH] Having the whole thing in one mobile unit makes a huge difference, not having to go backwards and forwards with IBCs on pallet forks etc. Its been very useful for clearing odd blockages here and there, but I' wouldn't want to try and use it to revitalise a whole field drainage system, I think that would need something with a bit more oomph. One problem I've had with it is that when jetting clay or concrete pipes if you get one thats dropped and there's a lip, the end of the nozzle seems to just hit the lip constantly and you can't get past. I have improved that by making a sleeve out of an old plastic post that slides over the nozzle and has a shallow angle front and back, this lifts the pipe up off the floor a bit and it can get over a lip of up to about an inch. Also as mentioned above getting the full 100m up a pipe is pretty much impossible. I managed to get about 90m out once, and that was in a 6" new smooth bore twin wall pipe that had somehow developed a blockage, in 3 or 4" clay you'd probably get 50-70m max. No experience of how it goes in plastic coil as all my old drains are clay or stone here. [/QUOTE]
