I helped with a very small concrete job approx. about 30 to 35 years ago. I was working for a healthcare system that owned & managed 1 retirement complex/ nursing facility & 2 other facilities that were 100% nursing facilities. The retirement complex side of the facility I worked at was found to be lacking on some air conditioning in addition to adding 2 offices by converting an unused screened in porch. To add the necessary a/c equipment, an existing large a/c pad needed an expansion of about 5’ x 8’. The concrete pads original size was about 15’ x 20’. Our supervisor had talked to the complex’s administrator about all of the work that needed to be done, including anything our maintenance dept. could do & new a/c installation work to be done by an a/c contractor. The maintenance dept. was asked to get things started ASAP. We dug out the ground that needed to be, put forms on the 2 open sides, covered the space inside the forms with gravel & then made, mixed & poured the concrete. Unfortunately we mixed the concrete in a 5 gallon bucket on the grass, then had to manhandle the bucket to get it in the area to pour it. It turned out great & is probably still in place today. 0:29
Mud Demon for the win !!! 💪💪💪 It is proving to be a universal piece of kit, and the more you operate it, the more you will find out its capabilities, Jeff !!! And you passed on information on how to vibrate the concrete under the windows for good measure, knowledge is power 😁💪👍
Men this is my next item on my wish list. Specially for small jobs with ICF, Nudura recently gave me the opportunity to be a distributor in north west Alabama I can really use this pump hopefully after a few good jobs I can come up with the cash to purchase one.
Watching y’all load it on the trailer across from the old Justin house, they should make it turned 90 degrees so it fits on a trailer better, just an idea, probably a reason why it has to be awkward sideways. But this video you loading on a trailer that makes since 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I like that your Aarcomm has a display for pumps speed/volume. Super handy versus the old school method of just tapping +/- and counting time between strokes. Also: it looks like the agitator rotates quite quickly on that Mud Demon. I'm wondering if an orifice or even just a 1/4 valve could be plumbed into the circuit as such that the agitator could be slowed and possibly restore some hydraulic flow back to the pumping operations???
Once you in gauge the pump it slows down to what we think is normal. You really don’t have to have it on all that much. Having the options on the Aarcomm remote is really nice. It’s crazy how versatile the operation is between the skidsteer, pump and the remote.
@@MuddyfeetConcretePumping so does the remote integrate/ with, and have control over some of the skid-steer functions as well? I think we really need to get Matt on for a livestream in the near future. Lots to talk about with regards to the Mud Demon.
No it doesn’t. If all the manufacturers would build their aux plugs the same then they could integrate some functions. But that being said you would have to build the wiring harness for skid steer manufacturers specific.
I saw what I think was possibly the 1st job you did with the “DEMON”. That’s a great piece of equipment. While watching that video & the 1 where concrete was needed in some block walls inside of a warehouse bldg., I saw some things that made me think of possible good ideas for you. 1.)Your “DEMON” hose flew out of your hands while trying to cleanup. The “DEMON” hose should have a removable handle to be put on whatever hose is on the “POURING END” of your chain of hoses. 2.)Your camera/ phone looked like it almost bit the dust at least a couple of times. There are harnesses that can be bought to put your camera/phone on which leaves both hands free to handle equipment parts/cleaning, maybe if an urgent situation arises & you have to have both hands available to handle tools, hose end clamps, other equipment parts &/or cleanup, etc. 3.) You know you have to do the cleanup of the equipment/machine. Why not do the cleanup with a large pad similar to a kitchen scrubbing pad, easier to get into corners & tight spots, do the hose ends, inside of the hopper, spaces in the hopper grate, etc. 4.)The “DEMON” remote control I thought made you look like you needed 3 hands sometimes. There’s an area at some Walmart stores called the “AS SEEN ON TV” aisle or area. A couple years ago I bought a waterproof heavy weight plastic zippered pouch at 1 of their stores. I believe the “DEMON” remote would fit in 1 of those pouches. It could easily have a hole put in the top of it & then clip a lanyard onto it & put the lanyard around your neck. Then you could be “HANDS FREE” from both your camera & the remote. Just some ideas that might make life at work a little easier. You could say you heard it/ read it here 1st. No charge for the ideas, just enjoy the possibility of how much easier they can make work &/or life go. Keep your boots on or you could get “MUDDY FEET.”
Jeff here is a curve ball for you. Since John Deere is providing the power supply for the Mud Deamon i think it would be appropriate to pimp the John Deere Skid Steer. Just my 3 cents. In other words maybe a walk around and show and tell of the controls cab attachments etc.
I would be concerned about not running the machine at full throttle, most machines will only regen at full throttle. Would hate to cause you more problems down the road.
We’ve looked at different ways to but just haven’t come up with a way that’s practical. I need to get a couple of tarps and just retro fit them to the machines. It would help greatly.
I’m not in your line of work, I just like to watch other people work and stress out, I’m retired😄 I don’t understand who you’re appealing to with this product, but I hope you make millions👍
@@MuddyfeetConcretePumping this thing appeals to ANY concrete guy esp those georgia buggy guys. but for me im paying anything from 15-20 grand a year on concrete pumps so do the math 3 good years and im in the green. and the fact that my skid is on nearly every job and i dont have to trailer a pump ever its cool shit. plus what's a new trailer pump these days? big rock? 150 grand?
Hey Jeff, I’ve been following your Chanel for a while. I just wanted to know what exactly did you do to get the flow of clientele you have today. I feel like getting the clients is the hard part Instead of the concrete pump
It takes some effort and luck. Drive the streets look for projects going on. Pass business cards. Beet the bushes. Do a good job and make extra efforts when the time comes.
3-4 truck loads your looking at close to 1000.00. Unless your like some of these guys that needs the practice and want to charge 500.00 for their minimum.
Its a great job and what slump is maintained while passing the concrete.one more? What kind of Hose pipe is this? In India we don't find these weightless Hose pipes. We use line pumps for each and everytime
It seems Mud Demon are missing a trick with this machine, A self propelled version! Stick a set of tracks underneath, 70hp engine on top , remote control for the lot, and you won't need the skid anymore. That would make moving it on a trailer easier and you'd still have a micro pump that can squeeze into tighter jobsites.
Yes , those are good ideas. The main reason for development want to power it with a skid steer to be able to use as an attachment. That way you can still use the skid steer for other jobs using other attachments.
@@MuddyfeetConcretePumping we have a couple of 305’s but I could see where this thing would come in handy. I assume the skid steer moves it around pretty easy?
Well this isn’t for everyone. But it could solve some problems that others are having such as scheduling or costs of getting a line pump to a rural area. I’m not worried about it taking jobs from me. In fact I have contacted a couple of customers of mine that could use this machine. They have trouble with both points I made above. It’s a day for me to go pump one of there jobs. Which takes me out of the loop of getting a second job in.
@@MuddyfeetConcretePumping so you would rather your customers use that machine instead of calling you to use your pump? when us pumpers get to charge extra for a rural area is that not good for us? I mean its a good machine would like to see a dry slump and some hose on it but I wouldn't be telling any of my contractors about this machine especially not the landscapers or backyard contractors cause for 50k and cheap maint you could very well loose customers but if you not worried do your thang
@@concretejungle77 If he is turning them down on little jobs not really loosing out on work driving 2 hours to do 2 hours of work doesn't pencil out for anyone. If they need a bigger pump to push more volume then they can call a pumping contractor.
@@banffdigger oh ok, here in so cal we do it different, even on small jobs if we can't make it then we send a pumper that we trust will take care of the customer so that you are in good standings for a call back on the next job they have, a successful biz requires customer base. repeatedly have work for you, if you are giving the customers who already have skid steers that they use everyday then a cheap concrete pump alternative for them will end work with you or less jobs with you.

Send me an email. I can help you with it.
I send and email
I think I just replied to it
Jeff is kicking butt!!, look out concrete world!!💪🤗🇺🇸
I’m starting to really like the machine
Man that thing is a mud pumping demon . If i had a concrete business that beast would be in my fleet of equipment for sure
Honestly it would had been around when I got started it probably would have been the route I would have taken.
Also, does it only go on a skid steer, or would it work on a tractor with hydros on the front? Let’s say a mid size backhoe?
As long as the hose fittings are the same any machine could power it. You’re limited to the GPM of the hydraulic pump to a maximum of 30 yards a hour.
Watching y’all load it on the trailer across from the old Justin house, they should make it turned 90 degrees so it fits on a trailer better, just an idea, probably a reason why it has to be awkward sideways. But this video you loading on a trailer that makes since 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Mainly so it can stay attached to the skid steer is why it’s sideways.

I will once I figure out all the features. Seems like I learn something new about it every time I use it.
I would be concerned about not running the machine at full throttle, most machines will only regen at full throttle. Would hate to cause you more problems down the road.
For sure going to get one of these one day, you think they are going to make some sort of shield to stop the skid from getting so dirty?

need to buy more cam . i feel dizzy watching your vid but i love your content. keep it up.
I understand. Filming doesn’t take presidents while I’m working. I’m a one man show and do the best I can.
How much can u charge for a days pumping with that machine, let’s say 3-4 trucks
3-4 truck loads your looking at close to 1000.00. Unless your like some of these guys that needs the practice and want to charge 500.00 for their minimum.
You should make a L shape hopper back board and a hopper lid too protect that John deer
Could u run that off anything with a P T O with the right fittings, as long as they have enough oil.
I believe you can. It’s best to call and talk to Matt. He can give you all the variables.

The hose came from concrete pump supply. You can find them online.
