[QUOTE="Bongodog, post: 7883360, member: 1343"] The machine of choice used to be Schmidt, but they closed their UK factory quite a few years back and shifted production to Germany. Regardless of make they are very expensive to operate, brushes wear very quickly as do suction nozzle flaps. Water tanks and hoppers have limited life unless they are stainless steel, which few used to be. In the right hands they will do a lot of work, but you need to be doing the hours to justify the expense. Councils used to either replace after 3 years or send them back to the manufacturers for a full rebuild. Used to see a few at Cheffins going for scrap money. [/QUOTE]
