60 Day review of my Sapphire 870

[smart n kleen]

Someone who wanted 3.99 instead of 7.99 on their loan I guess. That is their program for now. Just got approval this afternoon on a 1200. Putting it in tomorrow. Or at least starting it.

Congratulations.

Seems that interlink has a pretty good deal then.

The 370 is a nice little machine. It does what I need it to and still surprises me with it's size and performance. It has been very reliable with over 650 hours. No complaints so far. It's only 11 months old but still looks like new. I will probably transfer it to a new van soon. Out to 150' it has plenty of power. I love the Tri flow 406 Blower.

I was planning on buying a PEAK ( same blower as the 370) but it was to big for my little Astro and since I was paying cash I didn't want to buy a new Van also.

Anyone use interlink for a loan, not a lease? Curious how their rates are.

7.9 is their best rate from what I understand. By paying cash I saved 4500 in interest

I guess it depend on what incentives they are running at the time of purchase. I believe jon-don is 3.9 if you buy a Van and TM

Sounds like you spent $28.21 per hour plus fuel and other operating costs to run it.

A $7,900 loss for 280 hours of machine time is pretty bad...

Not as bad as someone else.

280 hours inferno eruption with an APO.

Was it fixed before you sold it?

Was it fixed before you sold it?

It was fine.

 

[Blacktiedetailing]

It was fine.

That wasn't the question

 

[smart n kleen]

That wasn't the question

Where was it broken?

Where was it broken?

I don't understand

 

[smart n kleen]

Are you serious?

I don't know what that was about. Is he messing with me?

No dude, he just asked if it was fixed before you sold it.

It wasn't broken. Is he talking about the shaft seal drip on the pump. I put a brand new pump on it. So yes it was fixed. I thought he was trying to talk crap about amtex again. Never ending story.

 

[smart n kleen]

The day I sold my unit it looked and ran better than new. I don't let my stuff go to crap. It was spotless clean. Perfect.

I broke down and bought the 870ss last week. It's a beast!

 

[hurricane]

Attempted to change the oil on the 870 ss and noticed that it didn't have an oil drain hose, like the pressure pump does. I was told that they used to come equipped with them, but the oil pan was so thin that they were cracking or tearing with an attached hose on them.
Has anyone had this problem yet? If you don't have the hose, have you found an easier way to drain the oil, since its a tight fit?

Yeah, you're going to get messy

Nope, bought an automotive fluid transfer pump thing. Just stick a suction hose down into the dip stick tube and start pumping. Sucks it all out nice and easy.
