Anyone use a Northstar Skid? 100 Gallon with Honda motor...

[justinp95]

I found a Northstar skid with 100 gallon tank, GX160 motor and 150 ft of hose, but it has a pesticide sprayer on it so I guess i would just need to buy a new gun? Anyone use this or have opinions on it? Its a really good deal. Thanks

That looks pretty decent, though I haven't used one like that. Do you think for your application 100 gallons would be enough? And yes, pending standard couplings, a gun or wand replacement should be all you need.

I wish there were more pics of it and what you get with the skid.

Well, its more of a starting point not sure if 100 is to small yet. It says it can do 5 GPM which is just to much, can you turn it down?

Actually 350 psi is a little low considering how much flow.. youre gonna be tearing through fluid. I thought I read it as "up to"

Looks pretty good, let us know how it works.

How do you control the GPM and PSI? Gun nozzle, pump or what? I will need the correct gun and the turn the GPM down at least by half. Sorry im new to Pressure washers. I guess 350 psi is just what the gun will allow?

Anybody? How is psi determined and is gpm adjustable?
