Hey Guys,

Im new to this forum and would appreciate some advice as I see theres heaps of pumpies with good knowlewdge and experience here.

Ive been building concrete skateparks the last 15 years so have a bit of experience with shotcrete and running pumps but never owned one.

I have a posibility to purchase an older Flowcrete Sidewinder pump for 15k NZD and cant find much info about them on the net. Might be just a rebranded Transcret Sidewinder pump from what I gathered. Anyway heres some info about the pump and pics, could I get some pointers and advice about running these pumps? Should I run away and save money for a modern pump or are they still good performers. Will be doing some shotcrete, a lot of residential pumping for hard access driweways etc... Im looking to buy an used Deutz engine to replace the old Perkins down the line, but the seller said the engine would be still all good for a few more years, just might be nice updating to a more modern number... 

Cheers guys
