Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it!

I totally agree! It's fun to have to think through some tricky unique challenges!

You're not kidding! 60,000 lbs is hard to pull out!

Thanks, and thanks for watching!

Always appreciate good feedback! Thanks!

Dang I didn't know that, that sounds perfect for something like this! Does it plug a lot?

@@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).

@@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.

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!

I've actually never seen that done before, how do you usually do it?

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.

Between West Yellowstone, Montana and Island Park, Idaho. Close to Henry's Lake!

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

Exactly! Always gotta watch out for those most important components!

Thanks man! We're hoping so! A lot of cool stuff you can do for people with some decent traction!

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

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.

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!

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?
