Hey man I told you I would subscribe and I did. Thanks alot for the great job you did on that pour, clean as a whistle. I have to say the form work on that job looked fantastic !! whoever did that must be a real pro !! haha. take it easy..
@@drupeterson4085 Hahahaha!!!! We got ourselves another one!!!! Us pump guys have a habit of swooping in at the end to scoop all the clout!!! 😁😁😁 See you on the next one brother. Always appreciate the work 👊👊👊
Scott, I used your bag trick the other day on my first ever pump job. Worked like a champ and I looked like I knew what I was doing lol. Thanks for taking the time to explain things so well. I’ve learned a lot from you and Jeff!
I have to give credit to the followers of the channel whom led me on to the plastic bag trick. This has become a great community in terms of sharing knowledge and experience amongst us concrete pumpers. 👊👊👊
Gotta love residential Gotta love attention to detail Gotta love education Of future generations of concrete pumping Pumpers Quite possibly the most interesting concrete pump operator in the world 🌎 Keep pumping my friends 🧡 🎉🎉🎉
@@concretejungle77 yeah man, it’s definitely a bit of a PIA sometimes, but we persevere and move (with the occasionally rant of course) 😂😂😂 Appreciate you following the channel 🙏
@@chriscalhoun.concretepumping Thanks Chris. Looking back on it, I cannot believe for how many years we drained everything by hand onto squares of poly. I think my old man was just trying to “season” me into a better pumper 😂😁😁
That’s crazy you can’t pump back into the redimix truck. That would drive me crazy. I let the drivers wash their trucks in to my pump then I pump it back into their trucks. Those little compressors are GOLD! I have the Dewalt one. I have used mine to blow out 350’ 2” line. Not so good on the 3” line. They can blow out maybe 100’
@@mikeeemike988 They allow us to do so with the boom pumps, but I believe the issue with line-pumping back into the mixer stems from years ago when a guy hung a floppy old hose over the mixers hopper to pump back into the drum. Hose kinked and BLOOOSH!!!!! concrete everywhere… it just takes one 🙃
I have the dewalt one also but I can barely get 75 ft blew out. Only use it for small situations or for pushing back to the pump like Scott did in this video. I’m very surprised you can do 350’ of 2” line! Wow!
@@chriscalhoun.concretepumping you have to use a plastic bag over the ball. It’s a HUGE difference. Let the compressor fill up to max volume then open valve. I blow back into the truck but I have a clean out hook and strap it down. You waste a ball but on a ZERO mess job it is worth it.
I refuse to haul more than 1/4 hopper full. I broke my torsion axle couple years ago and had to drive 13 hours one way to get the only one I could find at the time. They charged me $2000 for the axle which was way more than it should’ve been but I had to have it. So I just won’t do it. Also I refuse to pump back into trucks. Did it once before and the driver was on his phone with my guy up top and he started driving off forgetting my guy was there. Hose kinks and popped out knocking him off the truck. Never again!
@@newrealm9187 So the issue I’ve had with that before is that the sugar/retarder actually segregated the mud on me as it significantly loosens up the material upon contact. These 1/2” crushed stone mixes can be less than forgiving when we’re putting them through 2” line.

@canadianconcretepumper1979 you really know how to make a concrete pump operator
Blush 😊
nice, not being able to wash in the mixer would drive me nuts, great job in solving the issue

@@mikeeemike988 nice I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the tip

Solved that 👌 😅
The Milwaukee compressor is one of the best things we invested in ! If you don’t have one you should even 4” hose it’s great !
@@johnfarr3128 I know right? So long as all clamps/gaskets are tight, she’ll blow out 300+ feet of system.
@@canadianconcretepumper1979 my record is 280’ of 4” system

Put some sugar or Mountain Dew before the sponge
