    Hey Guys,
    I talked to a recruiter today about a lane I really like.
    The company Transwood requires me to install a blower in my truck on my dime.
    He suggested Curly and Sears or Southwest Pneumatic for blowers. The brands Tuthill or Drum blowers were mentioned.
    Can anyone point me to a used marketplace or if ya have one for sale I'm interested.
    Thanks

    Judging by your avatar--looks like you already have your blower....

    I said I need a blower not a blowie, as astutely noted we are covered.
    Now please, enough of the derail, where can I shop for used Pneumatic PTO blowers?

    Maybe talk to a local air can / bulk place, I’d imagine they’d have some numbers of guys that have gotten out of it and have one for sale.

    Every blower truck I've ever driven had a Gardner-Denver CycloBlower installed by SW Pneumatic. I've known some guys who had Drum blowers but they said the Drums didn't work as well as the CycloBlowers. Can't say I've ever known anybody that used a Tuthill blower.

    I think @Bret1984 has been hauling sand for awhile, maybe he can share some insight.

    The Gardner Denver is hard to beat. That's all my boss would buy for the longest time. But for some things we do, the GD puts out too much air and it causes trouble on the customer end of things. So for that reason, the last few blowers he bought were the Tuthill 1050. That's what's on my truck, and for what I do it works just fine. I unload just as fast as the guys with GD blowers. The only real negative I've found with the Tuthill is the get hot quicker, and I've learned to carry a spare melt plug along
