[Farmall] cleaning the f-20

[Matthew]

mine is a karcher

the cheap karchers are ok, i paid $375NZD for 
it.........1600psi.......6L/min

you tell a cheap karcher buy looking at the pump housing, plastic is cheap, 
steel is not..........mine is plastic, its a handimans model, goes well, 
never a problem, but probably won't last 15 years like the others (whats the 
point, the hose will only last 8-10 years, and it costs half the machine to 
replace)

buy one with a orbital head (sprays in circles......).......well worth it

there are a lot of copied ones coming from italy, they also seem to do the 
trick, alto is another brand you see here.......some say they are not 
great.........but they seem to work
