Lately I have been running a putz.  and know i need to get use to the pump sounds. While i love the booms, I really miss the wack of the shwing rock valve!!! and outrigger system. That hard wack sound is music to my ears!!! I really miss it!Did any of the off brands take pictures and copy a schwing?or just ripoff the putz? I  would take a putz boom with slewing cylinders and a schwing pump kit. I know how much easier a schwing wear parts are to change.

From my own persoanal experience, I have owned both, a Putz will pump a harsh mix much better than a Schwing. But they are both great machines.

i am running a new putz 38m, and i like the pump better than the schwing, it is a smoother pump but i do not like the boom , i prefer a schwing. and i am still trying to figure out the computer system, so far i am not very happy with service and support from putz. we did 5 jobs with the pump and the transponder for the agitator cut out went out and had to be replaced.

i am trying to get putz to send another tech down here to do an intro on the pump. i hope they send someone soon.

just a little frustrating

Probably a Whiteman with an aluminum boom,and toggle switches galore.Plus you cant beat that floating collar either............

From my experience schwing=DEPENDABLE!!!
