Filling counterweight on new crane on the Delaware river 

30 yards ,  it was the first time I had the boom straight up in the air and pumping, I was nervous!

17 meter, it's my first truck , I just got it about a year ago, it's small but it gets it done!

I ran a squeeze pump for about 3yrs before stepping up to the bigger booms great little truck to run very little maint. Looks like a 17M boom only thing those trucks dont like 3/4 stone great for 3/8 though

Easy washout too push all the crete into the pumptube put ball behind crete rince hopper into 5gal bucket fill hopper once with water and pump on all clean very easy truck to learn basic pumping on

We usually clean the boom and maybe 1 hose right back in the barrel , really saves on cleanup for the customers

Yea I would do that sometimes or stop the pour short and clean out in the pour move the hose just before the ball and water comes out. Tough thing with cleaning back in the mixer was catching the ball before it goes in the barrel

aha.. I'm thinking ball catcher..
