If it wern't for all the extraneous computer stuff, I would say Schwing.

But since today is what today is:

KCP gets my vote.

Whichever pump I happen to be running at the time is the best pump out there...

do they still use river sand in Georgia? Up here in Virginia they use blue granate all manufactured sand, get a little rough sometimes.

No, they use that artificial sand most of the time now.  It sucks.  Every once in a while, down around Columbus, Ga, and Alabama, they use river rock, straight cement, natural sand, pumps like peanut butter.  I see alot of these guys pumping with 4 inch tip hoses, and sometimes 3 inch, never happen here.  Mixes are to rough.

If its a choice between the two, Im taking a schwing, my choice overall,everyday. Concord! Ran one 5 yrs. passed up TWO brandnew ones simply because my '03 36m was so sweet, overall. Schwing makes a bada$$ "pump" and Concord makes better product. If that makes any sense. Anyone out there kick'n the hell out of a Concord Every day?

concord 65m, 11" barrels and con forms tw 325 pipe......priceless.  i always swore i was always going to be a schwing man but from the moment i ran this concord i've been in love ever since.  i still belive schwings can pump a nasty mix better than anything else.

Putz for me I find them the most user friendly

The agg' is crushed granite and the [sand ?] is the fines from the crush.

It looks like the sand is from a cone crusher; it is angular as hell. Not even any good VSI manufactured [cubic] material.

And as an extra bonus it is abrasive as can be.

I think the only full time worse market for material is Memphis, TN.

Your pics look like good creamy crushed material,

That would be a good day here.

What is going on? Are you doing a test? Do we get a hint, or do we all just have to wait and see?

 Ever wonder What "ELBA" would'a been today?Had ELBA & Walter Sheele been around today  They'd be at the top of the list! and all those "schwelba" gate-valves would never have existed.

If there were a new one today my vote would be an  ELBA !

Elba and the rs 2000 valve what a pump in its time,and they were dependable,that was my first german rig and I have been in love ever since,

The Elba pumps with the Schwing gates were great pumps. Pumpco Atl ran some of those machines for a long time. They threw out the Elba stack valves as well.

That conglomeration turned into a very good machine. Lots of profit came out of those Elbacos.

Fact check before you throw any rocks in that house.

the RS2000 was very expensive to maintain.
