Got the job card says “32m boom for pile cap” think cool probably a bit of over kill sending the 40m but should been cruzey. When we get there find there is no foremen or engineer around yet, but quickly work out there is not much room to put a 32, and leave access for tippers to get to an excavator at the end of the track + threw traffic going under bridge? So we pull under the bridge and start to set up, engineer turns up, comes over and says “you you can open boom up under hear??!! (Indian accent) I say “yes we should get her up about mmmmm………………………….. 2m”, O how we get concrete over there.  Well here are the pics Do want to say thanks to my line hand Sean for carrying my ass on this one, he did all the hook work while I just stood there and took photos and well turned the pump On and Off!!

A front discharge mixer and its 24' chute would be used here.  Not an option there I suppose.  LOL

Thanks guys Blast net would be good, I personally have not seen one in oz, so it would be pretty good to run safety feature most people are not aware off. Hey biged, reducers are High pressure 6” to low pressure 5”, 5” to 4” and 4” to 3 ¼” then 10m (32feet) of Chinese steel belt 3 ¼” hose. Truck runs a electronic sequential shift 8speed box, each gear has a high and low, pump requires truck to be in 8low.

Strange they can't do it the same way as on EU Mercedes',
one PTO of the flywheel and one through the gearbox.
Clutch, neutral and press the buttons. Pump on!

Bet you have a cover on top of the engine, just in front of the gearbox and one on the lower right side of the gearbox, sounds like you have the same transmisson as us.
