Well I started a new job this past week. This I am very excited about. I have Ran only Putz booms all my life. I am now running a Schwing. I have absolutely no prob. Pumping concrete. The adjustment on the remote box is a very nice challenge. Totally opposite and backwards compared to the booms I am used too. I did 2 jobs with no problems at all.(The first was booming in and out of red iron) I just went slow and tried to remember I am not on a putz anymore. Which is kinda hard when that is all you are used too. But I must say I had fun running a pump inwhich I had no idea how the controls worked. This was no little pump either. I am glad that my new co. has faith in me to just put me out in the field on a different make of pump. I think I found myself a new home with the new company. Its all fun far as I am concerned :) http://www.pumpoperators.com/brian/ I love to pump concrete. It is in my blood. I will do whatever it takes to do the job right and safely! Almost 20yrs under my belt and still learning.

Nothing bad to say about either machine...REALLY!!! I just like the control set up that I am used to better. Both Brands get the job done nicely and both make money :) http://www.pumpoperators.com/brian/ I love to pump concrete. It is in my blood. I will do whatever it takes to do the job right and safely!

Brian, Its nice to hear you say that you have no problems with either brand. I have heard operators for many years say that a certain brand of pump was way better then the other. Well I have ran both( and more) in adverse conditions, steep hillsides,terrible concrete ,you name it. I really believe the differnce between the two main manufacturers is just like Ford and Chevy. Ive read a few of your posts and its nice to hear someone so passionate about pumping and not negative about brands. Good luck

2in05 The middle stick is for the second section or for the third and second on a 5section boom. Good luck :) http://www.pumpoperators.com/brian/ I love to pump concrete. It is in my blood. I will do whatever it takes to do the job right and safely! Almost 20yrs under my belt and still learning.
