How to set up a 6x10 carpet cleaning trailer (pics)

I like the set up as well. I may have to rearrange my set up if I ever decide to upgrade my TM. I do run it out the side with a ramp, tho. Sometimes I wish I had a smaller trailer, but it does allow me to carry a bunch of WDR equipment. Its a 7x14. A 6x10 would be a great size if it was just for the cleaning side of the business.

$1KaDAY im getting a smaller TM from Nick Nellos next week....Am thinking of taking the trailer route so I don't have to have a third car for the kids etc, that way i can just use an SUV to haul the trailer around then when not cleaning pick up my kids etc in the SUV....

My point is im getting a smaller TM which is all I need right now and wanted to know what you think the smallest trailer I could get is. I like things to be compact, especially in the twin cities, (drive ways are often small and street parking isn't the greatest.)

Are you really getting a TM this time?

The diamond plate really looks sharp, but I think it will scratch pretty badly and perhaps be slippery when wet?

Yeah, I was the last time until the dude sold it under me....Already talked to Nick last night, getting payment set up some time today. Am excited....and I don't care that its a smaller TM, it works for me ....Am just waiting for someone to rain on my parade!

Raining on your parade? now why would someone do that?

What size motor and blower does your TM have?

Seriously? 16hp with a 33blower? That is not too small, it's way too small. You'll never get any of the water up with that. May as well just use a shop vac.

Actually, Todd uses a 33 blower on his TM and he does great work and knows his stuff. I use a 36 blower.

By the way, my girl is fighting this Saturday. Don't miss it, it'll be over ina blink of an eye, first round, by an arm bar.

I think that would be fine. I also think you wouldn't want anything smaller than a 5x8. May be wrong, but I wouldn't want anything smaller. My 7x14 works for me, but I always carry too much stuff... LOL

Wow Johnny that would be a new move for her. LOL. I hope she chokes her out just to mess up her patern.

I am not$1K but I do have some experience with TM in trailers. My first one in 1993 was in a 10 x 6 single axle trailer with side door. It was fine and I would not want anything smaller. And with the single axle and a wheel on the tongue jack I could push it around myself if on a good surface. This helped in tight parking situations as I could unhook it and push it where I needed it. Not the best solution but worked fine.

Well okay Johnny. But mark my word, you'll only be rooting for a minute or two because it'll be all done by then.

The set up is awesome , I'm more impressed with the choice of machine! Tell me how you like the updated version of that beast and how it performs as I have the same set up on a dolly in my garage waiting for some last stage tightening and swapped into a rig.
