Concrete Pumps - Trailer Mounted ? ?

[Rip]

Thinking of a 30 to 50 Yd/Hr piston-type (not ball valve) self-contaned concrete pump mostly for residential foundations and slabs with perhaps some taller ICF walls or such.

Anyone care to share real-world experiences with this type equipment?

Pros / Cons, Types / Brands, Comments / Tips ???

Best thing since sliced bread or Don't touch one with a 20 ft pole ??

Hope everyone is having a Great 4th !!

I see a lot of them running around here in SO CA . They are used to get concrete into places that the concrete truck can't go . (Back yards , across ditches etc.) Usually pulled by a 3/4 or 1 ton truck with the hoses in the back . Some of those guys have some really spiffed out engines running the pump . Lots of chrome and well painted . Good luck .
