nice.. I didn't see at what temperature they turned the guns on at.

[skifreak]

I don't know that either. But I'm sure it has the temps on the link they provide for the weather.

Does anyone - has anyone heard of this particular machine? This looks more managable and sensible to start out with than others that I have been looking at.

from what i hear on a little bit of surfing i do over at snowguns.com i've herd their really not that good. you might as well just build your own sm4 gun get teh same results for a lot lesss money.

Papa,

 

What they are asking for, is just wrong. No friggin way that thing is worth over $700. First of all it only makes more snow because you need a bigger gpm pressure washer or pump. It is the same design as their original one however it has another bulk water nozzle to accomadate the larger flow capacity. Its still cheaper to build your own. Its just a combo gun with another bulk water nozzle.

Then build and sell me one!!! I don't have the time to mess around with trial and error... I have a 3.5 gallon pressure washer at 2800 psi - tell me what compressor to get and sell me the gun and it sounds liek I will be making snow. Other wise I am looking to buy the ready made gun.

Fine I'll build it for you and ship it. And I promise I won't rip you off. I will shoot you a pm either today or tomorrow.

Wouldn't it be easy just to have rob pick it up from you in his hummer assuming he was going up to CB sometime....

[skifreak]

Well, we will figure that out. If he wants to do that I guess he can do that also. BTW I won't make you a fancy stand. The PVC tends to crack and it will keep the price down.
