This may have been touched on a while ago, but I can't seem to find the thread. I am interested in getting a power washer and was thinking that this would be a good application to be driven off the rear PTO. It would be fairly compact, go on easy, wouldn't take alot of ooomph to drive, I'd probably drag a washer behind my tractor anyhow, and I'd have one less gas engine to maintain (the main reason I bought a tractor with a PTO in the first place).
So... does anyone know if such a beast exists and can be had for a reasonable price (compared to the engine driven rigs). I have been looking in the 5hp / 2500 PSI / 3 GPM range such as the one that can be had from Norhtern for $400.
I did an Alta-Vista search and came up with some funky ones from across the pond that are probably not worth the cost given my constraint above.
I see they sell the pumps alone in the Nothern catalog, but adapting such a thing to a PTO shaft may be beyond the capabilities of my tool box, and my time!
