Advice on render machines

[Daniel Flanagan]

I'm looking into buying a render machine. I have used the pft G4 before. However I'm looking for a machine that's smaller than the G4. Easier to move from job to job. One that maybe uses a smaller generator and can also be compatible with most renders. I'll mainly be using it for pebble dashing and it'll be powerwall that I'll be using. Any advice would be appreciated thanks

The machines are ok. Back up is s**t

Whatever u buy buy a new one. There's not a lot to learn about the machines Iv used but if you don't know it you're gonna be thinking about putting it in the skip

Was tongue in cheek mate, machines aren't as bad as made out but your right about back up.

Just looked and saw three straight away barely used. Wouldn't recommend anyone buying one unless they had previous experience of them.

Thanks for your reply. Yeah I currently use the G4 but it's not mines so I'm looking to buy my own machine now however the only problem I feel about using the G4 is that it's maybe a little too big for moving around so I was just wondering if there was a smaller machine that was a little more compact aswell and maybe used a smaller generator.

We like the g4 ,as it can pump the 25m so dont need to move it about ,and we can bang 14 bags in it(with add on ) ,so the 2 of us can both work more on the walls rather then loading a machine
