Our company just got our 1st concord after running all putz for 7 years. Wat r the do's an don'ts of that particular brand and model ? It's a 2005 40m.

same shit, different pile.  concrete goes in one end, comes out the other. just duck when u drive over bumps

don't buy one

Drove a 2004 model when I worked in Sydney still remember the first day I took it out i wondered where the rest of the front out riggers were. But very stable machine good out put they can get a bit bouncey with the low slump mixes

Been running one for a while myself. The pump itself is great as long as it has been maintained over the years and you continue to look after it. Keep an eye on your stack valve manifold for leaks between each hand valve as well as the spool. Look at the hyd hoses, the unit I run is about the same vintage and have noticed smaller lines starting to leak, seems I get a few replaced and a few more start leaking. Also, when you set these particular pumps up try to boom of the front if possible and keep your rear riggers full with water and fuel (if you are able to) and always remember your cribbage/dunnage.

Short Stick pretty much sums it up. There are pros and cons on them all from all kind of operators.

Maintain it. Be Safe Always, Keep it clean and go pump concrete.

Been running one for about a year and still run it sometimes. One of the best pumps to work with. Very easy no BS pump. You take care of it and it will give you a lot of pleasure. Boom was excelent to drive and very stable. Nice low and easy to clean hopper.  

Make sure you always have the rear outriggers ALL the way out when booming over the side. And keep an eye on them rusting inside when used as watertank.

And indeed very compact pump for that reach. If you go from the 40m Concord to a 42 putz you don't understand why the putz is so HUGE!! And its not a weak pump. Don't be to afraid of that.

One thing I noticed on the front outrigger roll out bearings, they were all 4 kinda bent down like they had too much weight riding on them. Did uns have any trouble wit that? And where is best place for parts?

The bearings are a joke. Mine where flat and not roling anymore. But you don't need them. Most pumps don't have these bearings. The outriggers will just glide over the steel. Make sure you have grease on the bottom of the outrigger..

And our speedometer runs even when pumping. Is there any way we can get that ta shut off or is that just their design? The miles really rack up in a hurry

put on a Hubometer for actual truck mileage

YES, There is a simple fix for the odometer running in PTO. Give us a shout-out and we will send you the schematic to disconnect it while pumping. Thanks
