@@greghughey9738 25 primes per bag at 200’ per prime, 56 bags per pallet= 53 cumulative miles of system primed. It’s all about the fine print Greg 😂😂😂

@canadianconcretepumper1979 still want my paint mixer lol

@@Andrew-Ponce Touché my friend, touché indeed!

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 but I have been on jobs where I didn’t have dirt available to make any mud. So at least you don’t have to deal with that.

@@Andrew-Ponceit’s incredible how resourceful us pumpies can become in times of need 😂😂😂

@@user-ng2mt2yr1t Just regular every day stuff. 25 prime-outs per bag, 200’ per prime-out, 56 bags per pallet.

@@user-ng2mt2yr1t The other thing we could do is mix up a few bags into one of our hopper containment pools and do some mud wrestling!!!!

@@mikeklein318 Back in the day when we unloaded it by hand every time stock had to be replenished….. we mysteriously didn’t burn through nearly as much of it as we do now 🤔🤔🤔

@@dannpriebe How much did he Venmo you to say that??? 😂😂😂

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 lol. More than you 😘

@@dannpriebe Hey, there’s always next year!!! 😁😁😁

@@BenBNC So what I would say is that the main advantage of bentonite (even more so than the cost savings) is logistics. It’s easy to store, a little bit goes a long ways, and it is an extremely effective priming agent. Mortar mix and/or cement powder can be a real challenge to store on the pump (especially in our damp climate), as well challenge to inventory at the yard (we would burn through an entire pallet of it in a week), and for us it honestly just doesn’t prime the lines as well bentonite does. A small 5 lbs pail of bentonite on the pump and I’m set for an entire week or two. Easy to store, easy to use, and effective. What I will say is that for fine finished residential or architectural concrete, it is nice not having to worry as much about potential contamination in the concrete. That being said, on many of those jobs our guys won’t even allow mortar or cement powder to be primed directly into the pour as it can cause irregularities in the finishing process as well as discolouration to the concrete. In summary: I’ll be sticking to my bentonite for 90% of our work. This was a great question! 👍👍👍

@@user-ng2mt2yr1t Thanks buddy! They most definitely do turn out some great work! I think the sponge float finish is a couple steps above broom finish. I will say that it can look a little “aggressive” when freshly poured, but after a couple of years the texture wears down a bit and it actually gets better with age. I’m still a big fan of the hand trowel finish, but for clients looking for something with a little more bite to it, the sponge-float is a very popular option.

@@joshuahill6153 She’s a 2004. You sir are correct. Identical to the Isuzu branded units sold in the US market. This one has a full Isuzu powertrain, but I’ve also seen them with CAT engine/Fuller transmission powertrain as well. Aside from the dashboard electronics, she’s been a super reliable unit for us. My favourite thing with this truck: it turns on a DIME!!!

@@steverodriguez4871 We were mixing it too dry. Wouldn’t get more the 150’ before turning into a ball of sand. I’m still in shock that it did not segregate with how wet Jeff mixed that stuff up in our colab video. This video here was a few days following that one and I followed suit with the sloppy wet grout. Worked a charm!

​@@canadianconcretepumper1979just my opinion, but I feel like the wet mortar allows for more moisture loss as its going through the line on the prime out.

@@user-el3bx5kb8h I’m assuming the walls would be, yes. Not certain exactly how thick though. That’s one thing we’ve never actually done is a slip-form pour for something like these.

@@victariondrownedmemory9886 Appreciate that brother. Gotta give Jeff over at Muddy Feet due credit for the smooth prime-out. If you haven’t check out his most recent video, he came all the way up from Texas to school us in the art of the mortar-mix prime!!! ruclips.net/video/5kok-kvUx6o/видео.htmlsi=AQu5SxLaJxW3UOcB

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 thank you for the link, hyped too watch this pal !

@@user-el3bx5kb8h It certainly did feel like it, which is quite fitting because the full-time staff at this facility are strong union. We ourselves are not, there’s really only one pumping/placing/finishing outfit in town whom is.

@@cossienorge We typically suck back a sponge with no water, followed by a second sponge with water/sugar in front of it. Stuff doesn’t set for days and we’ve never found it necessary to pull batter pull back at the yard, just dump the hopper and washout. Works really well for us.

@@Will-ll4gv it cooled down a few degrees last week, which made for prime concrete weather 👌👌👌

@@Will-ll4gv We had a really good time with Jeff up here. I’m heading down to Texas mid-October to checkout how they do things there. Should make for some great videos!

@@taylordowney8924 Do you guys see decent results with the Slick-Prime? I cannot for the life of me get that stuff to work.

@@MuddyfeetConcretePumping Mr. Pluggs may not have been there in person on this one, but his spirit was present and strong 💪💪💪

@@lindsaylucas3553 the boys scrounged damn neat very last rock of spillage from the other 225 lineal feet of footing to get that corner filled in with decent mud. I’m thinking that just ordering and extra yard of mud could be the way to go 😂😁😁

@@jackt833 my buddy from Texas was visiting the next few days after this pour. I was simply practicing up to make him feel warm and welcome 😂

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 fair enough 😭 hope u taught muddy feet what its like to have to actually control the pump into foundation walls. All they know down there is slabs

@@jackt833 sadly, we never did get out on a boom pump job together…. The schooling was definitely a little one sided (in the Texan’s favour) throughout the duration of this visit. 😁😁😁

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 love u man this channel has taught me so much… pls send the stickers to 788 oxford st w london ontario n6h 1v2. 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The fabric cuffs don’t seem to cause any problems with a good quality hose, however the older style cuffs with a hard outer shell will cause soft spots over time

@@TheQuantumFire the old hard-shell style cuffs would kill a hose in a matter of months. The newer, fabric cuffs I have worn through the metal coupling end of the hose before the hose itself ever succumbed to the effects of the cuff. That being said, it is still critical to not run the air pressure any higher than needed to stop the flow of concrete. Also, engaging the pump before the cuff has released and the hose has fully opened WILL kill the hose in a hurry. Just a little bit of basic diligence and they’re less detrimental to the hose than kinking it off and throwing the old-school rope around it.

@@francodeiuliis1562 Ian needs to be a little strategic about whom he calls out. He’s still young, he’ll learn never to mess around with a full handlebar moustache ever again!

@@randallbernard2074 Even better, we finally got it fired up and it died after about 10 seconds of idling. Pulled on it 50 more times trying to get it re-started… before realizing we had the gas turned to off.😂😂😂

@@danielcotton-pm6tw it’s becoming more common these days to see contractors with washout pans on site, but the majority of residential contractors prefer to pay the hour of pump time + $250 disposal fee for us to take it away, rather than dealing with the mess left on site. With the retarders and sugars available to us for killing the concrete, I actually prefer taking it away to washout at the ready mix plant where they’ve got the nice big water hose etc…

You wash out at every job? That’s crazy to me

@@austinpalmlund5054 Same as you probably, much of the time we just splash the hopper with a touch of retarder prior to pumping down, pull a sponge (or not, if the job is only 5-10 minutes away) and roll dirty directly to the next job. Some much variation to each specific market. Always fascinating to hear how others do things.

@@nolanu2393 we’ve seen it periodically over the past of couple of years since supply chain issues have meant us seeing sand from alternate sources. Definitely does some funny things.

That’s the problem we have with one of the local plants in SE SD , especially when the contractor demands a 2.5” slump

@@jasondaddo3483 99% of the flat-work we place with our own guys is residential (2” and 2.5” hose, which we typically just jump over our knee when pouring). We pump a ton through 3” and larger for our commercial placers, but they always supply their own apparatus for managing the hose. We used tried supply said device for them, but they would constantly get lost/broken. 3” lay-down line is an anomaly for us on the placing/finishing end of things.

@@jamessomero3617 always appreciate to watching and commenting James. You’re one of the O.G. followers of the channel 🙏🙏🙏

@@jamessomero3617BOOOOOOO!!!! We don’t speak of such cruel and inhumane things around here James 😂😂😂

In New Hampshire when light weight came out we had to pull five inch around all day the same with light weight know a days they use 4 inch line or 1 1/2

@@jamessomero3617 we recently pumped a new “experimental” lightweight residential topping floor mix which required 4” line, and was still a battle to get through even at that. I don’t personally see it catching on given that most every other resi topping mix we’ve seen in our market over the past 25 years has pumped all day long no problem through 2” hose. I’m honestly surprised that the rental placing/finishing crew didn’t just walk off site that day. We’re just spoiled with our mixes out here.

We do. Placing finishing is actually how we started out decades ago, and is really still our bread and butter today. The pumping, for many years was just there to service our own placing, but spawned into a whole other beast of its own in and around the early 2000’s.

@@greghughey9738 lol!!! I love all mentioned, except for the poor visibility out of the Pete cab, and the 3” line…. only because it ain’t 2” 😂😂😂

@canadianconcretepumper1979 i knew you were sick lmfao 🤣

@@ThePorkchop81 Yes, literally like one mile, lol!!! Busy day in town though, plant proximity only goes so far I suppose.

@@Will-ll4gv Yes sir, I’ve listed a good bunch of videos pouring with our guys. This commercial/industrial type work we don’t do a ton of. Residential patios /sidewalks/radiant heat topping floors/architectural walls and stairs is more our bread ‘N butter.
