@@JakeinJackson Surprisingly , no. We have far more issues with plugging when using 3.5" hoses with the integrated 4"-3.5" reducing stem. The 12" 5-4 reducers have been gold for us. Also, for whatever reason they don't seem to wear as quickly as the full length 5-4's (defies all logic, I know).
I'm going to finish your form setter from from Rawlins Wyoming I worked on a job up in Big timber Montana a couple years ago up that way it is God's country be careful up there have a good week be safe if you ever know anybody that needs to finish her form setter let me know
It’s called dog walking it’s much easier with two ppl. You open them up just a little lift your ass end up then swing them open each side a little more as you go. I’ve done it several times. It doesn’t always work but it’s deff a great little trick to know.
I've been pumping for 17 years, ran our telebelt for a little over 2 years before I started pumping. I don't remember the good days, but I never forget the bad ones.
They both definitely have their pros and cons. Especially when there are forms and stuff on the ground I like to use the boom so we don't mess up their grade
Suck a sponge Clean the material cylinders good and s tube and back end You can always chip out the hopper part but make sure the s tube and center bearing are clean tho
No not always, just kind of depends on the job. I really like pumping normal jobs in a z only because it let's me be very specific in what sections I use. I'm a little bit particular about that
I didn't use the tow hook because that big rope doesn't fit inside there. I don't have a Shackle yet that's big enough to fit that and be safe for the high ratings that it requires. I was wondering if someone was going to notice that haha
You can just Cut an old hose in half one that has a bad end or not much life left in it because your not going to be using it all the time but good to have it for Jobs like that
I know I wish I had one! Because we've only been around for a year and we don't do very many line jobs we pretty much only have newish hoses... which kinda sucks but what are you gonna do...
Nice work with the boom.
The aerial view of that job was cool--getting that STUCK was stressful!
You're not kidding! 60,000 lbs is hard to pull out!
Good thing Bill was there to make sure you didn't bend your draglink and tie rod.
I do this style pours with my pump everyday either residential or commercial and it’s the challenge’s that make pumping fun too me
I totally agree! It's fun to have to think through some tricky unique challenges!
Very cool to watch
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it!
Good plug for the Diesel Boys and the Yankem rope
Great video
Bene 🇮🇹 DownUnder
Thanks, and thanks for watching!
Another great one! ConForms makes a 12" long 5"-4" reducer which is super handy for booming low-clearance work. Worth its's weight in gold.
Dang I didn't know that, that sounds perfect for something like this! Does it plug a lot?

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 yah that doesn't really make much sense... but now I gotta get one to try it out!
So do you guys run the 12" reducer on everything? Or just on tricky jobs like this?
@@JakeinJackson on our small boom (24Z) we run it al the time. On the larger booms we use it mostly just for low clearance stuff.

A little tip for next time you have to change the seal on the 90, put the seal on the bend 1st
Always appreciate good feedback! Thanks!
Buy a 12" long reducer too
Dang that first job was in a super pretty place! Where was that?
Between West Yellowstone, Montana and Island Park, Idaho. Close to Henry's Lake!
Looks like there is just as much snow there now as there was the whole second half of January and first part of February!
We're a little bit higher in the mountains on this job. The valley is mostly cleared up by now
@@JakeinJackson Yea, we spend most of our winter in West riding, but last season was terrible. We came home 3 weeks early.
@@gumballer133 dang that sounds awesome! The riding, not the season sucking... where are you guys from?
@@JakeinJackson We live in Youngstown Ohio. Right off I-80
@@gumballer133 so you guys just come out for a couple months in the winter? That's awesome!
If you didn't have the backhoe there to pull you out you could of used the rear outriggers to spin you around, takes a bit of time but it's doable
I've actually never seen that done before, how do you usually do it?

Keep posting, you’re gonna blow…
Thanks man! We're hoping so! A lot of cool stuff you can do for people with some decent traction!
How long you been pumping bro?
About 5 years total with a few breaks in the middle
What about you?
I've been pumping for 17 years, ran our telebelt for a little over 2 years before I started pumping. I don't remember the good days, but I never forget the bad ones.
In jobs like this when using a boom pump we usually just put on 1 or 2 extra hoses and lay them flat it's not that big of a deal
When you have the option to use the boom I would. Especially when it’s garbage mud that only pumps through 4inch hose.
They both definitely have their pros and cons. Especially when there are forms and stuff on the ground I like to use the boom so we don't mess up their grade
Suck a sponge
Clean the material cylinders good and s tube and back end
You can always chip out the hopper part but make sure the s tube and center bearing are clean tho
Exactly! Always gotta watch out for those most important components!
What primer you use?
We actually just use water most the time, we'll mix up a little bit of slurry with it and just send that through
@@JakeinJackson Next video show more of prime if you can. The setup and send through. I want to see that! Good videos though man coming from Ontario.
Of course! I'll try to get that! Thanks for watching!
why you put not your seatbelt on when you drive ??? safty first!! in belgium not done! i work more than 20y with a concrete pump (putzmeister)
Do you always pump in Z ?
Also why didn’t you use the tow hook on the front of the truck ?
No not always, just kind of depends on the job. I really like pumping normal jobs in a z only because it let's me be very specific in what sections I use. I'm a little bit particular about that
I didn't use the tow hook because that big rope doesn't fit inside there. I don't have a Shackle yet that's big enough to fit that and be safe for the high ratings that it requires. I was wondering if someone was going to notice that haha
@@JakeinJackson I have 9 trucks, pulling from the Axle is a total last resort for us. Most of my Dumps are legal at 80k, so it's risky.
@@gumballer133 what kind of trucks do you run?
You can just Cut an old hose in half one that has a bad end or not much life left in it because your not going to be using it all the time but good to have it for Jobs like that
I know I wish I had one! Because we've only been around for a year and we don't do very many line jobs we pretty much only have newish hoses... which kinda sucks but what are you gonna do...
Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it
