Muddyfeet trying out the Mud Demon concrete line pump. 

As long as everyone realizes there isnt a 100% perfect solution and always a trade off this unit in its efficiency and ease of operations and maintainence plus the fact the quality of workmanship coupled with the tried and true Shwing Corporation makes this an investment worthwhile a much better parts network and that being said, this is a winner hands down just my opinion.

I could most definitely see the appeal of this machine to outfits whom already have a skid-steer and maybe pour concrete typically only once or twice per week (eg: Landscaping contractors).

Im impressed

I can totally see the benefits of having this around. One, on a job that you’ll be at for an extended period of time and need to move constantly. Another would be tight spots because of how well it’s able to maneuver and accommodate endless set ups.

Looks like a good idea for them jobs where space is tight I could use that on a job I'm doing tomorrow because space is tight to try get in off a busy road here in Dublin

Hauling a trailer with a skid steer, the pump and the hose could possibly put you over 26000 lbs. Then you need an operator with a CDL. Over all cost of the trailer, skid steer and pump would be more than a towable pump. Just a thought?

I thought all new bobcats were high flow? Not really sure i even know what a slow flow is used for. Jack hammers breaker attachments run off high flow i think

Awesome attachment

Jef I can already see some downsides compared to a trailer pump. #1 where do you carry your hoses? Trailer is self-contained and can be towed anywhere. The Mud Deamon requires the Skid steer auxiliary power. I am sure the concrete community sees a need for this but for my money I would go for the trailer pumps. Thanks for bringing us along.

nice security fences, if one flickers down, you have a construction stop. safety first. but this pump unit is beautiful 👣

That thing is sweet , just have to set up a lawn sprinkler aimed at the skid steer

I see those new invisible guard rails...easy on...easy off..

that thing has a solid stream

Very good 👍

game changer!

thats a cool deal jeff

You need to get someone on the end of that hose that knows how to operate it so that the rakers don’t have so much work to do.

Buying, maintaining and transporting a skid primarily for moving the pump and providing hydraulic power might not be a great allocation of capital. Someone else mentioned that transporting the skid, pump w/truck and trailer could push the delivery driver into a CDL weight rating, I think that's probably true. 20 GPM/2500psi hydraulic flow requires a +- 40hp engine driven hydraulic pump unit. A 40hp separate hydraulic power unit could be built for under $10,000 using a big Vanguard or Kohler engine. $10,000 VS $60,000-100,000 for a skid? OTH, the concrete pump might be too high if mounted permanently to a trailer. Lowering the concrete intake shrouds might help with that. Another thought would be to offer a specialized drop-deck tag trailer to lower the concrete pumper..OR offer an auger feeder that loads concrete into the pumper shroud. .

Good idea but a boom pump would do the job just perfect with out running all those dawns hoses

Did the use your hoses?

I can see this unit being at equipment rental stores rented out to contractors who already own a skid steer I can’t see it for your business because of the volume you pump weekly I just think it’s not heavy duty enough for large volumes of concrete but would probably work very well for grout Cheers from Nova Scotia

Safety First

Would one of them mini skids work with this? That would make a compact pump set up.

can it use a auxiliary power unit that way you can use the skidloader for something at the same time

I recon it's worth a try on Shotcrete.

Depending on the price it wiuld make sence for the concrete guys who have to bring a skid steer to the site anyways

You have to have the skidsteer to operate or is there any other way to operate skidsteer is good for ppl that need it on a job site but if you don’t need it you wouldn’t take it on a job rite

Ok 👍

Jeff they said 30yds an hour. Whats your pump do an hour. I do like how quiet it is. Be really nice in the subdivisions.

It is worrying that they are going to replace the old ones with modern ones.

I made contact with these guys yesterday. Unfortunately, they do not have a reseller here in Western Australia, though you can import yourself .

How many feet of system has it been able to push through what’s it’s maximum length I guess I’m asking

Do you think those will eliminate a lot of people with pump business ? I feel like contractors will buy that instead of calling the line pump operators.

The only application I can see for this is if you’re on 1 job for an extended period of time where you also have the skid steer parked. Other than that it doesn’t seem practical.

one job a day a week is fine

How does a guy work in that business without boot's? Hmm.

Price??

You contractor lucky OSHA doesn't watch any of your videos.

Better off with a power buggy not worth money
