Putzmeister make a P30 ball valve pump ...... However, they don't have the BALLS to eliminate pumper dealers from pumper customers. i.e B&B.

That's why the ball is bouncing towards the likes of Concord, etc.

Digger,

I think you are on target. Lots of folks do not like to butter the competition's bread. If however you have a 'good' competitor that is working to keep the prices up as well as promoting safe pumping.............. and you have to buy the parts any way; why not?

Here is an interesting bit of new news about who builds what for whom. Check out the sizes of pumps on this site. Tell me who else has a similar models.

NOT TRUE a couple dealers can not stock them or sell them so when i scraped with everyone i got the same deal structure that dale bone quoted years back on a simular unit, and if putz handed them the dealership thats fine.

i think concord has nice products and they have discussed building a trailer unit with a cummins engine and i would like to see that happen.

i called BB for a 4 inch 90 with a 14 inch radius that was not in stock, but i got a price and saving for it.

Eugene,

B&B is a very good outfit. They understand SERVICE.

About your 4" 90; have you ever used that HD electrical conduit? It is somewhere ^ of 7 guage. Just chop off the threaded ends and weld on the HD WOE and you are good to go. Not at all sleezy, good quality material.
