Twist-View Testimonial

Based out of Holland, Minnesota, Twist-View Pumping LLC is a family owned and operated dragline manure application business. As a longtime custom pumper, the Twist-View crew has years of experience and many seasons to find the equipment that works best for them. A game-changing equipment purchase came back in 2015 when the TTR 20 was released.

“We bought these original four hose carts,” said Chris Shulze, an owner and operator at Twist-View. “I think we have number one, number three, number six, and number seven of the TTR 20,” said Chris. “They were the first four we bought and the only four we bought.” The TTR 20 was the second iteration of Puck’s turn table hose reel design. At the time, it had the largest hose carrying capacity of the line of hose carts. This was important during an industry growth period regarding hoses in dragline.

Why Puck?

“Back then, Puck was really the only company that had 10” hose and the equipment to deal with the 10” hose,” said Chris. “These hose carts were the first of their kind, really.” Always leading the industry, Puck was among the first manure applicators with the efficiency to effectively use 10” diameter hose and have a need for larger hydraulic carts. “At the time 10” hose was relatively new, there wasn’t a whole lot out there. I don’t think any other company really was promoting it and using it,” remembered Chris.

Intrigued by the new equipment, the Twist-View crew visited Manning, Iowa to find out more. The crew attended Pump School in order to learn from the manure application experts at Puck. They also got to talk through how to reach their pumping goals. “When we talked to Puck when we were down there, they were running the equipment on their own crew already,” said Chris. “The efficiencies that we could get out of it was where we needed to be and where we wanted to be. That was the original reason for going with Puck.”

Looking to the Future

All four of the original Twist-View hose carts are still in use today, requiring minimal maintenance for their long service life. “I’ve got no reason to trade these TTR 20s in for new ones, but eventually I’m probably gonna be upgrading or growing the business, and still I think they’re a rock solid piece of equipment.” Twist-View Pumping has found success for over a decade with Puck’s TTR 20 hose reels. “The TTR 20s have really stood the test of time for us,” remarked Chris.
