I don't get it. Most operators don't own the pumps they run so why would it matter what brand it is. I have a personal preferance but thats it. MOst of todays modern equipment is sophisticated and reliable. As long as the owner of the equipment is happy witht he results ie: maitenance schedule , availability of parts, job reliability what does it matter if you run a putz, schwing , Concord, or Reed. Most of you guys aren't paying for them anyway. Just a thought

Russ,a factual observation.Reguardless of brand it puts food on the table.I ran a 36 heavy for 2 years and made a good living (nobody else would).My reward came afterwards,my first new pump (17 years in and got one).

Russ,

People are just......... like that.

Have you noticed the rabid NASCAR fans? They don't own the cars, but if you say car # XX is a no-drivin sissy; it is time to fight. Brand loyalty - or psychotic behavior? You choose. ;~)

It might be insanity Bob, lol.  I preferably don't care what brand I run as long as everything works the way its supposed to.  All I want is a job ticket in the morning and a paycheck on Friday and leave me the hell alone, lol.

Amen to that brother!
