This 3000psi and 3.0GPM washer from Simpson falls into the King Brute series and is a gas powered heated pressure washer. It is powered by a Briggs and Stratton engine which is however not our favorite and best recommended engine.
The best rated washer engine and pump on the market today is Honda and CAT respectively. This combination is considered a winning combination. In this case, the good news is that this King Brute KB3030 has a CAT 3DNX commercial series pump.
