Any recommendations for one of these, ideally with pressure washer lance etc included?
Need to get on top of drain maintenance a bit better and think it would be a worthy investment. Not many contractors offering in the area and it's something we could probably tackle better in our own time and open junctions etc as needed etc.
Is it worth getting one with gearbox?, ideally would like to run it on one of the smaller tractors, but a few I've looked at online seem to hav higher pressure by using 1000 speed pto on tractor (less to go wrong I would imagine without the gearbox?)
We have very few drains anywhere near a 100m, and any that are that length only seem to silt up in the last 20-50m anyway, so no mad hose length needed
Is it just a case of finding one nearest me or is there a brand / feature worth hunting out on them?
The open drains are never full enough to lift water from so would be fed from a couple of IBCs on a trailer

I also bought a Landy last winter, its been very useful both as jetter and pressure washer. Good company to deal with, the boss delivered my one all the way from Yorkshire himself. If you happen to have a tractor with front linkage getting an old spray tank and having the water supply and the jetter mobile on the same machine makes for a lot easier use than having to have IBCs shifted around by telehandler.
