Remember you had a dirt dragon for hardwoods at one point but can't remember if you kept it or was just a demo?

Any more feedback? Any more jobs?

That is what has always stopped me from buying one, how many jobs could we really do in a year and what would it cost to find those jobs.

Does anyone know of someone that has any volume with those things? 200 jobs a year or even 100 .

Still sittin in my barn waiting for that perfect wood floor..


Most need far more than this machine or a 175 can fix

This is the problem I see all the time. I'm tempted to take hardwood cleaning off my website.

here's the deal...


You got a customer wanting to clean a dirty ass wood floor but does not want to ante up the coin to have it sanded and finished?


Spray down a neutral ph cleaner, put a white or red pad under your 175 and go to town 150 to 200 feet at a time and then extract with a PMF MB style hard surface wand (Olsen has them) and get your Studebaker on it asap.


Buff with a white pad when dry.



trees get rained on all the time. don't be a pussy.

The Dirt Dragon was a bad idea from the get go. Just another elaborate gizmo that will only perform in the perfect situation.

Don't you think a gekko wand would work fine for this?

I'm with ya David, ready to sell the DD and just use the PMF hard floor wand after white or red padding.


As long as you dry stroke a lot,the 175/Wand does a better, quicker and far less hassle-ish job.
