Ok lads, after a lot of thought I've decided to man up n get a Ritmo, my only problem is I'm not sure what machine,
I've got quite a lot of big skimming jobs, mainly board/skim full refurb on residential, and a couple of new builds, but some of these are having K Rend or Weber to partial outside,

I'm thinking "Powercoat" with a converter for the outside stuff but I'm concerned it won't be powerful enough to get to top of scaffold as it has a 15m max, or does the converter solve this problem?

or would I be better with a plus M with a converter to skim?
also need it to be 110v for the new builds.
 
Best machine is the M mate where abouts are you give me a call on 07950309632 and il explain why the M's the best and also point you in the right direction of your closest dealer

Thanks Stuart I'll give him a call tomorrow,
The only reason I was thinking Powercoat was because of the amount of skim and I've seen vids of currier n it seems to wot well, al call him tomorrow,
cheers mate
 
There both the same machine mate the powercoat comes set up for skimming and the M for render you just add the relevant set up to it, i prefer to sell the M with the skim set as it has a bigger flow bottle on the back so when spraying the renders/hardwall its easier to get the correct water settings

And i can sell it cheaper with that combination rather then the powercoat with render set

Stu roughly how much would it cost to have the bigger flow bottle fitted to our Ritmo?
 
Thanks for your help guys, I'll give Les a call tomorrow,
Just out of interest a lot of threads I've read people are saying they don't like doing residential with the machine, I mean we all want long flat walls, but are small areas really awkward to spray? I'm committed to get 1 n e way, just a thought!
 
for skim. if its small areas in occupied houses. its a lot of prep and set up for something that can be put on by hand easily. on big areas, the main problem is getting it on, not the troweling. and the mess is not so much an issue. if u can its worth seeing one running in person
 
On domestic jobs you have obstacles in your way like stench pipes and sodding cables. But it is still doable just spray a bit slower because it is not so much the putting on it is ruling in behind that is slower because of the obstacles in the way.
 
Ok cheers lads, n thanks again Stuart really helped me out last week, spoke to Les today he's gunna sort my order out this week hopefully, thanks mate
