The birth of an Aero Tech XT

I think you should make a video of the new setup. Maybe dual wanding with it.

 

[Steve Lawrence]

Wow, congrats Mike. "Impressive" doesn't do it justice.

Would be nice to see Rob A. do a quality video with music and some eye candy in heels dual wanding at 400-500 ft.

It would be better to see Mikey suck that lil twerp thu the 2.5 vac hose. With some cool music of corse.

Congrats Mikey, quite an achievement.

Last time I saw two big trucks in one business was Wizard photo shopping his marketing material

I guess here on the12 or 13th page will suffice.

 

[Loren Egland]

Your the man Mikey! Congratulations. I'm still stuck with that old Steam Way Powermatic you sold me.

Very nice truck, thanks for the video.

What is the float for on front of the water tank? I can see your size 14 kicking that when you are reaching in the back of the storage.

BTW, I love that enlarged storage box on top of the water tank.

I'll take a guess, that's the low water shutoff for the pump clutch. My V has that.

 

[boazcan]

Mine has one also, but it is on the left side of the tank out of the way. I'm sure they moved it for a reason, just curious why?

[Lee Stockwell]

The BEST technical thread of the year.

I tip my hat to Vlad and the other people like him who have worked make this the best big rig ever.

 

[dealtimeman]

I agree lee!

 

[Cleantechsk]

I definitely want another in 4-6 years

 

[BradFenstermaker]

Congrat Mikey! Happy for ya. I miss mine on the big jobs.

Thanks Aerotech for the time and description of the awesome build. Ted, Vlad thanks for the great customer service.

After 8 jobs I am thoroughly enjoying these differences over the 04' Vortex..

• The Isuzu so out shines the UD in EVERY facet it's not even comparable. Smooth, quiet, plenty of power, no squeaks or rattles just a thing of beauty.
• I love how we can fill our Hydroforce , buckets and sprayers with hot soft water without running the truck or interrupting the other guy while cleaning.
• So nice to be able to fill the chem jug('s) while the other wand is cleaning as well as being able to switch or wrap up lines without interfering the guy cleaning.
• Level 1 at 1200 rpms provides plenty of heat and suck, enough to run two wands at 100 feet each easy, maybe even more.
• Water delivery is so smooth. No surges or hissing or farting, especially while using the Hydroforce.
• Scary heat.
• 1300 psi and 1 -10 gph chem pump delivery system uses far less chemical and is far more accurate and consistent than a siphon system.
• Wand holders are so nice.
• Tool box for wheel chocks, garden hose, drain (inline) filter, buckets etc keeps the box so much cleaner
• Drain and vac ports being outside also keeps things much cleaner
• Killer manual
• Have I told you how fooking awesome the Isuzu is?
• Waste tank lid actually fits correctly.
• Larger ball ID valve drains the waste tank much faster
• Vac and pressure reels are much better built. Smooth and rigid.
• NO DAMN XENTHERM!
•

Nice

How long before its all wrapped and spiffy for all the walk ups you will be getting. Sme poeple are going to think there is a new company in town.

 

[Mikey P]

Thinking I'll just stick a 5 ft tall vacuum on all 3 sides and call it done.



Vortex is going to get some work done and freshend up then both will get some vinyl
Lima Bean goes to is new home in two weeks so the vortex take precedence

That's the thing about these trucks, your going to freshen up the V expecting lots more years and hours out of the soon to be 10 year old beast! Have you ever stopped and totaled up just how much revenue she has brought in?

Disclaimer: Not to say that other TM's don't reach this level of service like the PC 405 (and hopefully my Everest 650!)

 

[Chris A]

so after (I'm guessing) 6-7000 hours and 150K miles what kind of work are you doing to keep the V alive?

 

[Mikey P]

New U joints and pillow blocks for starters

 

[BradFenstermaker]

I know my ole V is on its 3rd life know with Ashley.

Built to last, just keep up maintance and normal drivetrain fatigue parts replaced.

New AT looks built just as good quality or better than my ole 777. Also built by AT in 1999.

 

[hogjowl]

Those two wands at 100 ft is amazing ...

 

[Mikey P]

Now that that job is complete, the AT is up for sale.

You interested?

 

[hogjowl]

Does it include the 200 ft of hose?

 

[Mikey P]

Its been so long since I've had a chemical pump and a 1 to 10 meter I've long forgotten just how long a five gallon mix tank can last when it's on demand and no chance of draining the tank if you don't kill the meter...sweet...
