nice vac how many hp and how much if you don't mind? what are the odds on having the same company name with 3 initials.

It's 37 hp, a pretty penny , just over 11,000 bucks , the name is of the business is the first initial of myself and two boys.
The vac is great, had a giant vac when i started 23 years ago a 16 hp at the time that was one of the bigger ones, and when it comes to loading leaves i don't want to mess around with clogs. I don't understand how a decent size andscape co. uses tailgate loaders with these small hoses. BIGGER IS DEF. BETTER!

I know what you mean, when i was a one truck operation i had the 16hp giant vac mounted on the front plow frame, that worked out pretty well, the box i built at that time was bigger than this one, was like rolling thunder coming down the st. with the 16 ft. trailer on the back

Holy crap that is some big lettering! It looks nice though, can you make it under bridges and power lines ok with that?

Haven't had a porblem yet. The height to the top of the box is 12 feet, most underpasses around here are 12'2" at the lowest point. Can't say i can make it through the drive thrus though...

What type of tarp do you have on the top of the box. I am making something like that but just was guessing on what type of tarp to get? 60% 70% just not sure but i was going to go with the 60% tarp. ANy help would be great.
