It’s situational, I try to be as accommodating as possible. If I help them, they help me. If I know I’ve got 2-3 jobs on the books and will need to washout on site in between them, I’m a bit more stingy with the water, but almost always I’m willing to share within reason…… unless they lay their placing tools against the side of the pump and use my freshly polished Alcoa’s as a back-stop for washing their gear…,😂

The Alcoas are deal breaker for me. We had freshly polished wheels on our 32 several years back and first day back on the job an inspector put his foot on one of the wheels like it was a foot rest. The nice guy I am, ends immediately after that silliness.

The proper way to ask for water is you go to the pump operator and ask when hes done if he has water left over to spare it be appreciated...now...if you want water and have to get it off a truck...you gotta get it from the concrete trucks water tank...

I can't speak for the auto shift boxes specifically for concrete pumps but I've used them with 130000kg triple road trains in Australia and they handle it like a dream. The biggest issue with reliability came when the trucks started doing station work so would drive hundreds of km off road. For basically all bitumen work they are great.

I’m driving a 2021 M drive with a 40M concord z boom. I can’t speak to the reliability yet but I’ve been very happy with it. Very smooth with great throttle feedback, which has really helped with crawling out of steep icy lane ways here in Ontario. Not a speed demon like the Allison (our stone slinger is a hot rod!) we also have an eaton auto shift in our boom truck and it’s garbage. Needed rebuilt at 50k and is a pain to drive. Stay cool and and keep the videos coming!

Great feedback! That’s my only issue with our Allison 6 speed auto, it’s a little dicey for negotiating steep inclines. I sissy we had opted for the 7 speed, but it’s almost $10K more expensive than the already pricey 6 speed. My other gripe is that it absolutely burns up brakes. I was thinking that the mDrive could be the perfect blend of having the convenience of an automatic, but the low speed “crawlability” of a manual.

Out of all the autos I’ve driven the m drive is easily my favourite. The engine break has a couple extra tricks up it’s sleeve that really help on nasty grades. I’ve been wanting to make a request of you good sir if the opportunity to cover it ever arises. I always suck my sponge back with boom 1 vertical and the rest flowing slightly down hill (sort of like #7) a frame has always given me issues but it would be nice to have that option on some sites. I’m wondering how much concrete do you pump down out of your hopper when doing either technique? Thanks a ton for your time!!!
@canadianconcretepumper1979

@@dylantupling6825 I always pump my hopper down as low as possible, regardless of which boom position I’ll be pulling the sponge back in. Over the years I’ve had guys tell me that if you pump the hopper down too low, you’ll have trouble pulling the sponge back. I never really bought this theory. So long as your wear parts (wear plate and cutting ring are in good shape) the sponge will come back regardless of the level of concrete in the hopper (I can only speak to S-tube style hoppers on this one as my Schwing experience is limited at best).

What tools do you have on your truck to keep hopper build up to a minimum? I have a short handle trench shovel and my battery powered SDS hammer drill with a tile chipper.

Great comment! I have my custom built washout bar (will go into more detail on a future video perhaps) and usually carry a trench shovel as well… which was apparently MIA on this particular day. I also keep two air-hammers on the pump. One with a long chisel bit, and one super compact unit which just barely fits inside of the S-tube for chipping out after shotcrete pours. The chunks I make certain to bust up small enough that they won’t plug a 3” or larger reducer. Also, the buildup is still soft enough that it gets broken up even further by the time it reaches the deck pipe. If the buildup is to the point in which it’s rock hard, and/or I’m running small line off the boom, I won’t do this. As with most things in pumping, it’s very situational.

We tried them and didn’t like them for several reasons. We are often adding line from the boom and/or reducing won further to 2.5” or even 2” hose, so it’s easier just to run steel reducers. Also, our customers really didn’t like them as they are essentially still pushing the heavier 5” portion of the hose. Some markets absolutely love them, they just weren’t for us.
