I understand how you feel, I miss them also, in more ways than one. If a manufacture is not on this web page I do not post world of concrete pictures of their products. I support those who support this web site. This is the deal, the companies that have ads on this web site get my full support and I want them to succeed in what they are doing and that is the bottom line.I really think that Putz and Schwing dont really understand how big a following concretepumping.com has. I get people all the time that just thank me for this site and tell me that their coffee does not taste as good as it does unless they are on this site while they drink it.If you get a chance let Putz and Schwing know that you wish they would support this site and please give the sponors a try and look at there product.If you can only buy from our advertisers and if you need help call me I can help you.Todd Bulliswww.concretepumping.com805 659-3437 Todd Bullis

As a person with some sales and marketing background can

I once was told by one of the big boys of our industry that people ask some dumb questions on ConcretePumping.com, it kind of shocked me he felt that way but after a while I understood that it was a compliment and he did not even know it. I don

ok than your either Tom Anderson, Dave Tinkel or Ed Lothamer. sorry if I spelled your names wrong if I did Todd Bullis

just to put in my two sence... if it wasnt for the big two (putzs and schwing), you wouldnt have any idea what concrete pumping is? They created the industry that this web site revolves around. I think they do deserve some credit, somewhere, despite their sponsorship. Some of their pumps in the show, I think deserve a picture on this site; despite their brand, just because they are impressive machines. A picture of a nice pump is a picture, not an advertisement. If a picture of a pump is an advertisement, then the companies that support this page and have a picture of their pumps; (that are schwings or putz), are already advertising. What differnce would a few pictues from the show do?I like what this page does but it sounds to me like you have a financial issue and not a commercial issue. If you are going to support the industry, support the guys that run the machines not the people that market them.

Putz and Shwing did make pumps what they are today , I have to agree with that , but all you big fans out there keep in mind they are responsable for pricing them-selfes out of the game !Do we really have to pay that much for a NIKE !!!!!!

I understand completely, Putz and Schwing are the big boys and yes they have done so much for this industry but they also created their own competitors. I respect them and would love to have their support but you have to remember over the years I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on this web site, and it
