give it a week you\'ll love it, takes a few mins to get use to those twist knobs

putz rule! They are very operator frendly machines.I have operated schwing sermac cifa but the putz always comes out on top for me,and as for a z boom you will not want to go back to role fold

How is a P more operator friendly than a S? I\'ve ran both and personally I liked the S better. I\'ll give you the twist knobs are nice, but on a Roll and Fold you don\'t really need them to twist as you don\'t use #2 often. The boom took forever to fold up and the boom hanging 10\' over the back at head height (ouch) wasn\'t cool.

Hi

I have operated many pumps all have been good but I like my  P z best and the remote is laid out well I have found with the other styles of remotes that if you have lots of winter gear on it is hard to get to the switches and sometime can hit others by mistake. Now on windy days and seems we are getting alot more of them it is nice to keep the boom lower and with practice you will have no problem operating the Z The remote is easy to program to the way you like it.

Priming is nice with the port simple never had a plug on prime but you have to A frame it or go 3 out and one down. I also like my pump I can have my pump in the craddle in a 3min tops and the out riggers in about the same time so moving around is easy.

If you pump in roll and fold style, just remember the third section on a \"z\" only articulates around 250 degrees. So when you are pumping close to pump its a little tricky. With time you will operate in \"z\" and will love it. Moving on job sites are great. I have never had to cap or spilled any crete on my boom from folding or unfolding. Good luck.
