I just joined the group.  I am out of Omaha, NE. Glad to find this forum.  Seems to be a good place to learn and get the latest up-dates. 

Welcome! I have made quite a few new friends on here over the last few years. I live about 5 hours East of you in Iowa!

Hey there ne-max! we operate out of sioux city. not too many people for our area on the site. youll like this website, its very informative. are you with Hotz?

No I am not with hotz.  I am just a single pump outfit thats just getting started. 

Hey... I'm out of Fremont only about 30 minute from you. I'm a single pump operation as well. We have used your guys laser screed a couple times. You'll love this site it's an addiction! What's your pump. 

We have a putz 40z.  How about yourself?  I am in fremont all the time.  Got a lot of friends up there.

I have a red and white 04 putz 38z 

That is good to know.  Wish I would have knew about you before we got done at the menards warehouse in Valley.  Will have to keep in touch.  Do you make it to omaha much?

i sold u guys that pump,everything going good with it?

Yes Sr.  Has been great so far.  The guy that ran it before I was hired had a pump party so it was down a while.  Only thing I really had to do so far is order some deck pipe.  So are you out of SC?

north central ia,i ran that pump 4 about 4 months had no problems,was a solid machine.

Ne max for sure. I would of loved to help with the Menards! I was alway told you ain't a concrete pumper unless you've had a boom party! We have all done it. And if you haven't your time will come. And stretch where you talking o me when you said you sold that pump? I got mine out of red oak Iowa. 

red and grey 05 put 40z i had

Ya the guy before me got the 2 week training corse.  Cost the company some pipe.  They never showed him what to do in emergencies.  We got our pump from him.

Stretch do you know if that pump was redone at one time or another?  Looks like it was green at one time and the wheels look like they have been redone.

Oh I got ya! 

im sure it was repainted at putz to the color it is now.they did a good job on it,i did the rims,tires,and side tool boxes

You did a damn good job.  Little bit of mothers and a white brillow pad had them shinning again.  It was a big relief getting a nice clean pump.   Seems like it was well cared for.  I just wish the 40s had the 5 inch pipe.  She dont like the bigger pours. 

i went to a 07schwing39 after that puz40z and love it.it just seemed if u turned the putz up the boom got violent and snaked all over with the small pipe. the 2nd grate for the hopper still with that pump that i made? it took some of the worry out of small pipeline

They dont like being cranked up.  The last 40 I ran was the same way.   I do still have the 2nd grate on it.  It was nice to see it cause I will not run a reducing hose with out one.  I just ran to tractor supply and got some chicken fence before.  Not as nice as yours but cheap and easy.
