Well, the 61 ran great beside our 58. Few little bugs left, but a nice running machine!

Thanks for the picks there Todd Jr. Glad shes all good for you. Love to know how she does up there with that canadian mud. Nice pour yall got going on. How much system did you do there, looks like 100' or so. Hope she makes you as much money as she made me, or more.

Thanks Step Brother, had about 100 feet of line and it went real well. Our mixes are generally pretty tough up here. We still run a couple of gate valve machines for the really bad mixes.

The 61 was pretty good,the last operator took good care of her,the only thing I didnt like was the 4 1\2 inch pipe on her. If ya didnt raise her up a little the slew was little fast for me. Good luck with her.

That pump took every mix they'd bring. Ive pumped 1/4 stone to 2 1/2 stone at homedepot. boney low cement content 2500psi to 10,000 psi. Almost did some 12,000 in Jaxonville but someone with pumpco said it wouldnt pump so I didnt try it. Never had a problem because the 4 1/2 pipe. Bigstick was pumping metal fibres with it on a job that the 52 putz was dieing trying to pump. 50lbs per yard was to much metal, but that pump did it.

I never tried pumping below the truck, how did that work out? 95% of what we did in FL was elevated. Almost never ground pours, until Texas.

Hi Wing, The other 58 was one of our pumps. We used the other 58 yesterday and it ran great as well. No problem pumping below grade other then a stone pack when we put hoses back on. We had the same with our 58 meter.

How come you guys could not of put a smaller pump below next to the tower crane and plumbed into it with one of the pumps from above? That would of saved alot of work! Just wondering!

Hi Tracy, that would have been a great idea and we did consider it. We couldn't block the excavating and the hill going in is very steep. We also considered setting up a free standing placing boom as well. Thanks!
