Interesting point! There is a redi mix out fit here claiming they get 109 out of a 33? I have a 36 and tell my customers I can only do 105. Perhaps we are both wrong!

Speaking of pipe and hose. My job today was 160 miles away. Three hour drive by map quest! I dumped all my stuff last night. Flew like a rocket and made map quest time!

i would say boom length plus 12' cause they can always lay down the tip hose.  i guess that would'nt work for a bid price.

Seed,

Why don't you get the mfg's spec sheet from the internet and include it with the bid. If it is a verbal bid I would use the mfg's figures, both up and out flat. Your competition will.

Is'nt that how most pumps are measured? from the ground straight up? I think some manufacturers are different than others. I finished a job one time that a thirty six Z Putz had broke down on. I sat right next to him with a thirty six Concord and out reached him by five feet off the front?

TooTall.  the horse head of a rNp is 3 - 4 feet ahead of a ro-tech tower.  might be where you get the extra feet off the nose...?

Yeah that's probably it! Stating that a Concord out reaches a Putz could start a bigass fight, I better shut up!. Pump-Off!
