How to prime out 275' of system with a concrete trailer pump. Pumping concrete with Muddyfeet

Using the concrete line pump to place concrete for a metal building shop. Here we show how to prime out without getting plugged. We are using 3” hose and 1” aggregate in the mix.

Im on a 325 foot (37 yard) line pump job today (lakefront) then on to a foundation wall for another 58 yards. Busy day...keep the mud flowing and may you stay plug free :)

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Full send brother

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Very nicely done. I'm shocked at how buttery that primed through considering what the first bit of material looked like coming out the end of that hose. Love the videos brother. Your channel has become a staple of my Sunday morning routine. 👍👍👍

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

That’s awesome really appreciate it. Have you seen the Jake in Jackson channel? Hard working guys with a can do attitude. I look forward to more videos from them.

[@CCTOutdoorServices]

You inspire me so much to keep going with my own concrete KZbin videos champ ! 🙌🏼🥶

[@andycrawford8689]

Jeff awesome awesome job u and Foster did on the trailer pumping and it went smooth for u

[@thisguyeddiex7136]

You guys should use a drill with a mixer attachment when mixing the mortar. Soooo much faster! Keep up the awesome content!

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

I don’t go anywhere without my hoe!🤣🤣🤣

[@CCTOutdoorServices]

Yesss sir another video 🙌🏼 I would like to make a video with you this year ! Sometime this summer ! 🥶👍🏼

[@Paul_n_Texas]

Nothing against day laborers but it'll be pretty expensive for you to miss a couple of days of work to travel, pay for hotels etc. to make a video.

[@yeeztodge6654]

Hey do you guys 4inch line over there? I remember doing a 300 foot job, one helper and 4inch line 😅

[@johnnytyrrell7060]

My 2nd job on Monday was that long but we use 4 inch line and only put on the 3 inch line where we are pouring because concrete can be hit and miss for pumping that's why we use 4 inch line and it started raining while setting up and stopped when we where blowing out.

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Yeah that doesn’t sound like much fun

[@johnnytyrrell7060]

Like the way the Guy's just stand there looking at you emptying the hose I'm glad we use 10 Foot hose here in Ireland because them 25 Foot hose are to hard to empty when mud is stiff

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Those 4” hoses are heavy

[@maxobara1496]

We need to find a better way to handle those hoses. Maybe we get the drones to latch onto them and take them back to the truck for you💪 Happy Easter to you, your family and crew!!👍🇺🇸

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

That would be cool

[@fronabargerconveyingpumping]

Is there a benefit to priming with mortar mix versus mixing fritz pak in the hopper? Won't be long till we will be at the controls of a trailer pump.

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

100% theirs a difference. I want to be there when y’all get the line pump. Give me a call!

[@fronabargerconveyingpumping]

@MuddyfeetConcretePumping if your serious, give me a shout. The owner is coming down on Monday with it for a deck pour we have, after that he's going to park it at our shop. I guess we're on our own after that. I'm excited but nervous at the same time. We have the 2.5" line ordered up and we'll see how things go from there. If we don't like it over the next 6 months or year, it may be on the market. Time will tell.

What’s that you put in at the very beginning?

Good job fellas

Thanks man!

I learned to pump on one of these bad boys 🫡

That would be pretty awesome making a video together! A collaboration! Would be perfect, I hope we make one sometime this year champ ! 🙌🏼

Who the he’ll is champ?

[@Paul_n_Texas]

@@MuddyfeetConcretePumping LOL this is a West Coast Custom Concrete supporter so you can pretty much figure it out from there...

[@BenBNC]

Two questions, when youre priming out, do you send a couple strokes of slurry through the lines before the mud hits the hopper. or do you send eberything through at once? Also, whats a good PSI for blowing lines?

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

I send it all at once. I’m not sure the psi I don’t use a gauge.

[@breengahan5188]

Have you ever pumped 20 mil tru a 2 1/2 inch line ?

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

At the moment only hose I have is 3”

[@viankalobosvalenzuela7456]

Excelente trabajo 👌🏻 👏

[@23Resek]

Great videos hahah "I've been dragging hose all my life" lol How do you clean your pump after air blowing your hoses?

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Should be a video that I posted recently that showed me washing it

[@tucobenedicto109]

never seen a john deere gator with a sigle front wheel like the harley davidson golf carts!

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

I believe that I have. The older models

[@jai0346]

I’m curious you could of drove all the way up the driveway instead of running so much line out

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

The trucks could damage the concrete from the weight of them.

[@aaronmcnally8971]

I recently bought a similar line pump……my question is, when you prime out with Portland mix, do you put a sponge in the line as well? Also, same question when you clean out with air. Sponge ball in the line? Or no?

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

I don’t use a sponge to prime out with. I do use a wet paper bag or sponge to blow the hoses out with.

[@aaronmcnally8971]

I appreciate the response, quite impressive your prime out on this video. I’ll be trying it your way, cuz the way I was told doesn’t work!

[@MuddyfeetTV]

@@aaronmcnally8971 good luck to you bruthu!

[@JoseHernandez-fe7cw]

Good day Yosimite Sam. So you have not had good luck with the primer?

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Not with the slick pack.

[@JoseHernandez-fe7cw]

@@MuddyfeetConcretePumping oh thanks I'm going to try the slick pack

[@codzombiesforever1]

my dad and bought a mayco-c30hdg line pump. we keep having trouble with our pump plugging up. we use a slick pack to prime and still plugs before 75ft sometimes. any tips that you can give to help us out . we run a 2 1/2inch line

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

I never had any luck with the slick pack. I always use the bag of grout you see in the video. We buy it at Home Depot

[@DC-bn3mw]

First try to use cement as your primer (full bag for 3 gallons of water) second try to run no drier than a 5 slump 5.5sk and nothing bigger than 3/8" rock for a 2.5" hose

[@mikeeemike988]

Big boy hose and big boy mud! That is very hard to do with big rock mix. Best I ever did was 300’ with big rock. And only did it 1 time. Normally I always plug at the 250’ mark.

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

That mix will put hair on your chest. Lol

[@Doctaj54]

“Just sit there and just pump” …..that’s what she said. 😂

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

🤣🤣🤣

[@jacktracey9058]

What inch are those pipes 3”? And how long is each hose?

[@MuddyfeetTV]

It’s 3” hose and they are 25’ long

[@louistrujillo63]

Do u use 4 inch hose for that type of job

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

I only have 3” hose

[@elhiezenberg8393]

Does the air compressor do blowouts like nitrogen?

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

I’m not sure what you mean

[@elhiezenberg8393]

@@MuddyfeetConcretePumping pressure build up then BOOM concrete everywhere maybe some pour soul getting taken out. Is it as dangerous in the wrong hands as nitrogen?

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

@@elhiezenberg8393 yes it can be

[@patdoka5716]

Are you having any problems with getting concrete. In the Phoenix area, concrete is at a premium. About a two week wait for concrete. We have a shortage of powder. About $ 140 a yd. with surcharges for fuel, EPA regs, under 8 yds, returned concrete, and wash out fee. Hope this companies have to beg to sell concrete in the future!!!!!!

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

No not as of now. Last summer they came up with that except raise prices but haven’t heard of it lately here.

[@lindsayharper6592]

Sound like standard charges, and they're always going to be like that. High demand for concrete in the world at the moment.

[@bladimircastro9571]

Fl has a Portland shortage as well , concrete is a demand over here so much construction goin on ❗️❗️❗️❗️

[@hugoferrioli3238]

How much air pressure to clean out hoses on 275ft

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

30-40 psi

We got lucky and the tornadoes went east of us. We did get some rain.

Where do your buy your hoses ? And are they the flexible ones?

JGB enterprise. Tell them I sent ya. They are the best I’ve ever owned

[@hugoferrioli3238]

These hoses look very flexible for been 25ft long ,how durable are they?

[@josejoya4520]

Hardley anyone I pour with uses this to prime. I've seen just water and some dirt which was odd
