That's great stuff there Vasa!!  I need to move to Sweden......  Here in Colorado, I drive a Freelander and my wife drives an LR3, both great for getting good fun offroad.  But, Sweden is where the REAL FUN IS!!!  Land Rover for pulling your trailer pump, I'D BE IN HEAVEN!!!!  Did your friend get out of the mud with no damage??  Hey, one question about your yellow pump, I've been wondering??  You have two reducers.... But that looks like a 4" tip hose..  So, is the red reducer a 5" to 4and1/2" reducer, then a 4and1/2 to 4" yellow reducer. Just wondering??

Enjoy all your pictures!!!!!!!

he had no damage on the truck or pump , a wheel-loader pulled him up .

The red one is a airvalve ( like a aircuff) and the yellow is a 5"-4" reducer....

It is a 5" double-ended hose with a steeltube welded to the flange...and when I stop the pump air is pressing the hose togheter....

Truckshow , here is some pic´s of "homemade" airvalve .

The first one is mounted in the boom....

Some other "homemade" airvalves....

Here is My airvalve , we buy it from Putz . I like it better because it is 25-30 pound lighter.....

I have a 5"-4" and 4"-3" reducer on here....

Another model , like conforms but this one you can open.....

And this is the "heart" of My airvalve , so when i stop the pump the valve cloes , and when I start to pump a timedelay of 4 sec before the pumpstart so the air has time evacuate....

It´s made by TIMO here on the site....
