I do not do gutters by themselves, if customer wants it, I add on to housewash, so take my opinion for what its worth. I tried a similar setup as an experiment using a wet/dry I had leftover form K.E.C. It was an $800 vac with decent lift and cfm (don't remember exact numbers but it could suck up sludge with no problem) When attaching 40 feet of hose I found the following.
• It's very unwieldy and tends to get coiled
• When it gets coiled, flow is impeded and leaves get stuck in hose
• When the leaves are wet, which is often in the fall, they get stuck in the hose and are a pain to cleanout.
I'd be interested to see if someone has come up with a good setup. I hate the mess and cleanup of doing gutters. |
