Anyone have info on Permco pumps? I need to switch my low pressure pump to a dual pressure and Permco seems to have the cheapest price. Roughly $830 vs $1200 for a Muncie. Haven't found anyone that runs one yet.

All I have ever had were regular dump pumps, but I have used Permco, Parker, and Muncie brand pumps. I can't tell any difference from one to the other. I think the Permco would be worth a try for the price difference.

I think its called a Genesis, which has a adjustment for whatever pressure you need, i just installed a second on on my T 800 last year.
It also has a threaded location to install a hard line guage to see what pressure it is set at.
To get the best results from this pump i went with a 1.47% PTO.
With the different ratio on the PTO and the Genesis pump my 100 cubic yard walking floor can be unloaded in under 6 minutes running at 1100 rpm, most walking floor trailers take 12-13 minutes at 1200 rpm.
I will look at my paper work from the last installation to see what type of pump it is in my trucks.
With this installation you need a dual filtration system and certain size hoses.Last edited: Oct 25, 2017

Not sure what my pto is as it was already on the truck, just had to add the pump. High idle is set at 1300 max in the ecm. Truck was speced in 2004 to run a frameless trailer. Not sure what it's done till I bought it last year. -
I bought a Permco dual purpose pump years ago. I haven't had any problems. I use it on the dump side only and it unloads a floor just fine. But then again I run the truck at 700-800 rpms. to get 11-12 strokes per minute which the manufacturer calls for.

That's why i went with the genesis, hauling 6-8 loads of mulch per day with no issues unloading plus i would get a extra load or two over other trucks hauling from the same recycling center, at @ $200 to $300 per load it adds up in the 3 month mulch season.
Plus Landscape supply yards wanted me to do there deliveries over other trucks because i didn't clog up the bins unloading, the 6-7 minutes less means more customers purchasing the product, not sitting there waiting for a truck to unload.
One of the landscape yards would get 25-30 loads of mulch per day, plus stone, fill, topsoil and hardscape deliveries, time is money. -
