Time to get off the negative's of our ever worsening market and look at what we love about it.  Whats your favorite pump you've ever ran?  Size, brand, colors, and why it is.   Come on guys,  show pics whatever you got.  This is why we are on this site,  we love it, we live for it,  it is us.  why else would we spend 14 hours on a pump all day then come home and before bed or eating we must check concretepumping.com to see whats happening?  Maybe thats just me.

As for me,  you can tell buy my name,  65m Concord.  Man, the boom is ultra smooth,  11" barrels and a 225 pump kit, it will lay it down.

putz 38m 20 cell she is a beast

Sorry Pudg, Got to Agree with 65m Petee.

You know what they say;

Big Booms BIG HOSE.... ;-)

This little hot rod's my favorite. With mud in the hopper you could ride wheelies! What a BadBoy!

I loved the 58m schwing but no pics its not  the length of the stick its the magic in the wand

thats what my wife tells me to make me feel better it doesnt work

Hey Pudg,

Do you have some pictures of your ELBA pumps, and do you know the previous owners?

No pics but my second 61 meter meter Schwing.  Pumped over 110000 yards through it before changing pipes.  Without a doubt the best pump ever made and I have operated, and I have operated lots of them.  Never had any major mechanical problems with for the two years I ran it.  First 61 meter was a train wreck,  nothing but truck and chassis problems.  Was mounted on a Tor  all the problems could not ever be fixed. 

dont have them , a guy I worked for had 3, 2 31m and a 26m I know he still has 1 31m left but he doesnt run it and no I dont have any pictures 

and all these elbas was bought new

The big booms are awesome! The pics are GREAT! It is hard to believe the truck can hold them. IMO Short sticks boom is pretty impressive. The pic going up the hatch in the roof and pumping a wall. WOW!  

In 2005 I ran this 55 meter Schwing in Kansas City, I loved it, smooth boom and it would flat out pump some mud. I took a leave of absence for 2 years in 2006 and came back in Aug. 2008, I am now running a 99 Schwing 52 with Mack DMM cab it rocks, only DMM in KC right now, try to get pics of it soon.

02 39M SCHWING.  2023-5 kit.  what a sweet heart. treat her good, she treated me good.  no pic :(

You wanna do wheelees To Tall?  stick 1-2-3 straight back and put some wheels on the top of 4.

YEEEHHHAAAA!

Of all the pump´s I´ve worked on the Schwing S45SX is my favorit...

They say you never forget your first...  back in 1988 a 1978 31m putz elephant 2112h, after thomsen 750s and english crap pumps it was like a dream , no grout just push the buton and give it some!!! tryin to load pic.

i love my callaghan s2100 9inch cylinders big stroke awsome high rise pump but can wind the flow right down to do a house slab even footpaths shes big but a good allrounder

Mine is concord 60m dave your boom is too fast man slow it down. There is not a pump around that can keep up with old 428, The mat pour Saturday avaraged 180 an hr until we started topping out. Hell she was just a srtoking.

My favorite is my 04 47m Schwing that I currently run...Aint she SEXAY!!

Hey Bri it's just fast enough to keep your ass off of it so you don't make it look like your pump.  my pump,  as Dick would would say it, is a "puddin pump".
