I've got to do a grocery store next week, it's 200+, we've got a lazer screed, peagravel pump mix 6 sack (I know we're spoiled up here) my pump is a schwing bpl 2000? I forget the number, it's rated for 120 yards per hour, contractor wants 60-80 yards per hour on the ground, my question, so rev it up keep the strokes long or do I shorten the strokes to go fast,

also it's 3" line, 100' is slick line another 120' is rubber

high rpm will move pumps faster

Typical contractor having to fill his pocket so he can feed this economic "machine".    Priority #1-Do it safely..........

Personally I believe it's a pipe dream using 3" system.The line surge is a killer,be hard to do using 4" system.You don't say what your pouring,on tin,topping,cast in place,huge factor.Please tell how this went,30 a hr would be closer.

The ready mix is the determining factor..you need 2 trucks backed..one discharging one ready..while one is going the other is being readied..one out one in..minutes add up if you screw up..throttle and volume set to eliminate surge, 4 inch reduced to 3 inch, pop 40 foot 4 inch off at a time, sleds or plywood to make it more efficient. Pumps are always rated too high, conditions slump efficiency have to be perfect and they never are. Get a truck late, or a rookie driver talking on his phone..your off, get a load too tight..your off, mix too wet..not good. Ya really have to get in a groove, most important thing is when cramming and jamming is watch the hose guys..a kink..your stopping..just pay attention, be safe, be prepared

2 power buggies, Sheetz of plywood, 120 yards 3 hrs..dollar general pleasantville pa. They found their groove
