If the pressure washer sits in one place in the shop electric is more convenient. Just flip the switch and go. The portability of a gasser is a given. We have a gas powered washer in the shop simply because we got it cheap and at the time we got it we did not have 240V run to the shop yet. It has a GX390 Honda engine and delivers 3800 psi at 4 GPM so it is on the higher end size wise. For washing semi trailers like we do I wouldnt want anything smaller but that is just our situation. One benefit to a gasser is it can throttled down if we want less pressure. In fact, I do not run it wide open all that often since most times I dont want that much pressure. The Honda usually starts on the first pull and that is a big plus for a gasser. For hot water I fell upon a used stand alone diesel fuel burning heater made by a local company. Again it was real cheap. I had to replace an expensive thermostat on it but otherwise the heater has been maintenance free. When I want to clean up an old tractor that has 70 year old dried on 90wt around the seams and seals the high pressure with very hot water and a rotary nozzle cleans it up. Of course water gets in and on everywhere including me but the end result is a clean tractor. On a side note if the water is very hot, near boiling you will be replacing Orings in the quick connectors more often but it sure does clean up the grease.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
