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... |

Rough mix, that looks like everyday Georgia mud! |

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. |

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. |

Art, reply pending (check back in 3 weeks) 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. |
