I really did think I would dislike running a 28z boy was I wrong. It is so much easier than the 60m I was running, in every aspect. Besides doubling up as a line pump it is great. And boy does this pump stay busy. I dont have a big ego, so it dosent matter to me what size boom I run as long as I am staying busy. I am sure running system a lot will whip my body back into shape.

I have some that I posted before....Wish I had my camera today pumped under a bridge in 20 feet of water. The diver on the hose radioed me directions. Got to see a copperhead catch a catfish under the bridge too that was cool. Man there was a lot of them around. We didnt tell the diver until he was out of the water lol.

I personally enjoyed going from a 61 schwing to a 40 meter putz.  It is a hell of alot easier to set up and run plus I dont like getting bored going to the same tower crane jobs. Used to joke with the dispatcher just tell me what town its in and i'll just look for the tower crane.

 What'd I tell you bri? Down size'n is easy money brother! Less dunnage, less weight, less worry, less windshield time, it's nice huh?

 But dont get TOO comfy, the first second that you dont take it serious is when it jumps up and bites you!

 Bri you're probably happy just being able to actually drive the speed limit, heck maybe even a little faster in a 28m! PumpOn man!!!

I personally would rather move a 28m 8 times than set up a 61m schwing once!

ran a 58m for a while ever since then running anything smaller was like a vacation you still have hard days but theyre alot easier to deal with
