I work for Spartan in Niles Michigan! Our Products are as Tough as the People that use them!
I own a small septic business and currently have a Mytana cable machine. 1/2" by 75'. Yesterday we were at a new customers house trying to clear a blockage and the cable got tangled up so bad that I have to replace it. This is the second time this has happened. I have been researching a few different brands of cable machines and am very interested in your model 300 machine. It seems to have pretty good reviews. Just have to find a local dealer. Hopefully we will have better luck with a Spartan machine. Still deciding if I want the hollow core cable or the solid core.
Very good videos
Do you have tips as to the easiest way to change out the belts
Yeah for the most part you were right about us drain cleaners. I personally don't care for the auto feed. I've seen to many busted/bent cables and stuck cables, along with wounded fingers and limbs to care for them. Running cable by hand is like being able to tell what is happening on the end of your fishing line. You feel every thing the blade comes in contact with. I can tell if there is a positive or negative lip on the inside of the pipe developing at connecting joints. So to me they are a hindrance both with feel and work time. The Spartan is a tough machine, and can be fitted with different motors and parts are still available for them. We have some 15 years old or better !
Spartans definitely seem to last forever. That’s one thing they got going for them. I prefer sectional machines but that’s just me
I run a spartan 1065 older than I am. It’s an incredible machine.
I agree that feeling the cable is important. My older Spartan Mo. 71 Persuader was all feel, but easier to potentially wrap a cable around your arm if you did not get off the foot switch quick enough. Not much fun pulling & pushing the cable back into the drum, IMO. I run the 1065 using the foot switch with a gloved hand on the cable and the other hand on the auto-feed lever. Works great as I feel tension and can operate the lever quickly. Also much easier hosing off the cable from an outside clean-out leaving the pipe by using the auto-feed to retract back into the drum!
I have one the same. My only issue when i retract the cable back it gets full of water inside from the cable and it makes it go real slow. I was thinking of drilling holes to the casing so water can drain. Do you think It would work better?
I wouldnt drill holes in the drum for a few reasons, the biggest reason being it will drain out the nasty water all over your customers property and the back of your van, Second reason being once youve drilled that drum youve compromised the coating on the inside and outside and it will rot out rather quickly. Call your local spartan rep and ask him what you can do to stop the water from building up inside the drum, once thing I do is I pull it out manually instead of using an Auto feed and I take a rag and wipe the cable down as i feed it back into the drum, that minimizes the amount of water that builds up in your drum.
Hmmmm.... I own and run a 1065 machine as needed and I'm confused on why you are referring that folks use the 'Electrical Motor toggle switch' to take tension off the cable?
Place the 'Electrical Motor toggle switch' in 'FWD' and control the cable 'extending' and 'retracting' from the Universal 'Cable Feed Control'. The cable is made up of an inner and outer cable that our wound opposite directions causing them to 'torque up' under load becoming more like a steel rod.
The 'Air Foot Switch' becomes the Machine's 'On - Off' switch when running the machine.
When the cable 'torque's up', the motor sound will change as the cable loads up letting you know you are into a blockage or obstruction. Place the Universal 'Cable Feed Control lever' from 'FWD' to 'NEUTRAL' or 'REV' position if too much tension is on the cable, or just step off the 'Air Foot Switch'! Cutting & ripping out roots is what this machine does great, but it does it under Tension that gets suddenly released spinning the cutters at much higher RPM than the 200 rpm motor/drum combination. This machine requires an experienced Operator to avoid potential injury!
If you get into an obstruction inside a pipe, you can back off slightly and leave the 'Cable Feed Control' lever in NEUTRAL and let the cutters chew on the obstruction for a time.
You place the 'Electrical Motor toggle switch" in 'FWD' and use the 'Cable Feed Control lever' and 'Air Foot Switch' to run the machine in use. The only time you go to 'Reverse' on the 'FWD-Off-REV' 'Electrical Motor toggle switch' is when your cable becomes stuck as a last resort! This machine would most likely destroy a plastic corrugated pipe under load.
And you just got extremely lucky on not destroying that corrugated pipe I have destroyed many of them what other systems like yours there's a lot of plumbers out here that won't even touch corrugated pipe on account of you can destroy it with augers have just recently purchased a new jitter machine to do corrugated pipe now
The reason the cutters didn’t damage the pipe is because there is no TENSION on the cable. You are running it through a pipe with nothing in it.
Excellent job
Nice piece of equipment
Honestly I still prefer my old reliable American Build Spartan 300
Hadn’t failed me yet
Over 38 years of using it
I’m very disappointed with Spartan
Since importing them from China
Sad 😢
When did they start importing from china?
@@tannerwest6823we have very old ones as well as new ones. New ones work and last just the same, I wouldn’t worry about it.
@@Johnboviimy 2 Spartan machines work perfect. Never given me a problem
Gotta have at least 300 rpm
It only spins at 220 rpm and that’s the no load speed
Worst machine I ever have worked with
