    I think you are doin it right...this is from last summer I think...the boy was riding his lil 4 wheeler around and a stick popped the chain off...I decided to throw the quad up on the tailgate of my truck to put chain back on/tighten things up...after a while I looked around the front of the truck to see what the kids were up to...found the boy working on his sisters push buggy...notice the orange wiffleball bat jack stand :rofl: :lol:
    Oh, and see the cat eyeing up a place to nap?

    Gasifier, Speed Queen, is there a reason an older used one is better than a new one?

    We bought new SpeedQueen washer and dryer a while back. Heard they were the most reliable. Commercial grade. But, we bought the ones without the fancy electronics. Went with the old fashioned manual knob style. Less to go wrong.

    We have speed queen washers & dryer's at my work (janitorial service) we wash all of our mopheads, microfibers and towels.
    I'm told they're 2 yrs old and the only down time they have is weekends and overnight otherwise we don't have much trouble with them, all button operated, no manual dials.

    Yes and Yes. There is a deep fill button you can push as an option for a FULL load.

    This was a simple way to get around the water saver mode all are required to have. It’s an option to have a full load and use more water. Standard load uses less water for conservation.

    I appreciate you responding at night Gas, I know it's late out east. They are looking pretty attractive at the moment. I'm very tired of ding dongs and electronic computer screen control boards and the cycles that just take forever in frontloaders. I had an analog stacker wash/dryer from 90- around 98', and sold it still running well. Moved to a computerized frontloader in 2004, replaced 2011, that one replaced 2018/19 and now troubles again and I'm so over it. The darn computerized models and where I live repairs cost from 1/2 or more of buying a new one.

    The Speed Queens are expensive but so are all the rest. We had Samsung Front Load with all the bells and whistles with anti-vibration yada yada yada. No more. American made, simple manual hand dials. They say most all farmers buy them as well. They use them almost none stop with the typical dairy industry material they need washed constantly.They have found the least amount of problems with the Speed Queen.

    It will use more water which my husband hauls here 425 gal per trip, but between the cycle times when I'm only able to be up and moving around a few hours is looking mighty attractive right now. He's tired of backed up dirty laundry and repair costs/replacements too.

    If you want it to use less water you can. Just don’t use the deep fill option. But we always try to wait until we have a full load and then use the deep fill option.
