She is down, actually, but wow, I always hated the Mack garbage truck before, but the 2010 is amazing, atleast the Vovo engine, would put a smile on your face. The Putz cell is quiet and smooth, now just have to work out a few bugs with the Omnex we converted to the 24volt, but sure it will be a dream.

No not yet, I am fussy lol waiting for weather, but only a 36z. Nothing big. But cab sure changed. I guess I am a bit excited after 40 years of running older trucks and hay wiring things together to keep them going, my first out of the factory new truck, and a Putz to boot LOL.

Nice. Lots of luck with it. Volvo makes a nice truck so their input should help the Mack. Pump looks great. It will be awesome for you. Great pump.

The bottom end of this power plant is atleast 3 gears up from our other Mack power plants, really took me by surprise.

Cab layout is quite different, but actually better in allot of ways, the after burn  fuel system as I call it is not bad, just need the additive, the fuel economy sucks right now, but then again I am use to hammer down to get anywere. All chrome goodies  going on soon and logo's.

Ya the new Mack cabs are great. It's about time they updated and made the cabs a little more user friendly.

Well have to say Putz sent the Mack tranny we ordered Fuller, they are being good for it so feww, the Fuller makes life nice also. Agree the cabs were way over due.

sweet ride man! what types of issues are you having with the 24V Ominex? I've found that the boom controls on the newer Ominex radios are more difficult to dial in (the older versions had LED lights inside the receiver box which could be referenced when tuning the boom controls). On a positive note, the battery in the frequency hopping transmitter will go for days on a single charge.

Do you have the newer style plastic water tank and composite hopper?

The issues we had were found by our shop, Kudo's... 

The remote is their t300 which I wanted because of size and weight (old lazy fart Me) 

The right swing is fast compared to the left, but I am sure we can balance better, yes the set system is quite different, get it into teach mode then hold the function and what rpm + to add funtion then - to lesson, I have to read more, but it seems not to bad. But then we haven't played with that can of worms yet LOL. 

Thanks all, for the comments, I will be out with her tomorrow and try some more serious pictures. I am a proud putz hehe.

Plastic water tank, steel hopper and winter warming kit on water. All paddles and in stube hard faced. The pipes are dbl wall, and light kit on boom (must be standard) We had to put racks for all the lines, I carry around 350 ft. With all sized wall hooks. My enviro kit and other tarps and so on need a place yet. We are pretty loaded down. Carry extra donage also for each pad. One thing I loved over the last 36z was the putz has a clear walking area with no pipe to hit the head on.
