I am looking at purchasing a Morgan Concrete pump to suppllement a form rental business. The pump is older but appears to be in ok condition. Does anyone have any experience with this brand? Are they decent pumps? Please give me some feedback.

YIKES !!!

i've had a few years experience with them... how old are they?

Seriously, buy something that is still in production. Anything made by any of the folks on the right>>>----->

They are in the business of making your life easier.

You would be better off with the oldest Schwing in America. Service - parts !

i agree with that bob... was like trying to get congress to pass a bill if you wanted parts and then to get the right ones was a miracle. i learned a lot by running/working on one. was nothing to run one for a couple hundred yards and work 3 or 4 hours fixing it that night to get ready for the next day.

What is it that is bad about Morgen? The pump appears to be in decent shape. The initial investment is $37500. I don't mind wrenching a little to get started and work into a better unit. Minpar out of Minniapolis has parts, Do you still say start with a different machine?

The pumps you have attached are not  truck mounted boom pumps. I am looking at a 31 meter boom truck mounted pumper. I have not seen one close to this price for a cheap starter unit.

There have been 44 meter pumps [newer than 2000] sold in these auctions for the same money you are talking about.

I know of 4 people who have owned mORGANs in my area. That is "owned" as in past tence. I have contact info if you would like to hear horror stories?

You would be better off with an old Elba! Honest to Dog!

If you end up buying the morgan let me know ok, i will then ban you from this web site.

You know what that makes you, Todd?

Just in case anyone has had a good experience with this pump, the model I am "considering" is a Morgen 115SV105 with remote.

OK, LAST TRY.

If all you want is someone to say something good about it, go to Yankton, SD.

Go ahead and buy it. I wish you well

Hey, this is the input I came here for. I appreciate hearing this. This site is unreal! I am so glad I found it. Do you think I can find a good rig for $50000 +/-?

Good choice, now you can be a member for life. We are glad you found the site and will always do what ever we can to help you out. When you buy a pump make sure you read the safety stuff we have on this web page. We will be watching you, lol good luck.

spend your time and money on anything other than a morgan... look for good customer support, parts and speak with numerous people before buying a morgan. last thought.... don't buy a morgan

Sittsy consider this, As of 7:30 pm your post has been viewed 111 times with 15 negative replies! I am guessing the other 80% of viewers have no exp. w/morgans, and the other 7% probably own or run one. If they where a quality machine they would still be manufactured today. 

only one thing to say,dont do it

if morgan made wheelbarrows i might operate one but not a concrete pump. I hope you don't have two shells in that shotgun or you will shoot yourself in the other foot too!!!

Thanks for the heads up everyone! I am now on the prowl for a "name" brand pumper. This site rocks!

I was trained on a Morgasim. All I know is carry a big ass toolbox and a bunch of Hi-dri.

...Make sure toolbox is full of hammers!

I think he gets it now guys  lol...
