Dad was going to hand me down his mixer for a good deal but now I don't want it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMFyG6ILV6g

>one requires premix the other just mixes whatever you throw in it.
>>2948593Isn't using premixed concrete much more expensive then mixing it yourself?
>>2950937>Isn't using premixed concrete much more expensive then mixing it yourself?Yes. Quickcrete only makes sense when doing really small pours. If you want to save money you can get portland cement and washed sand/gravel mix from a quarry and mix your own. Even then, if you're doing much at all it's actually cheaper per yard and much easier to bring a truck in.
>>2950937It's nice to just buy a yard and have a few guys wheelbarrow it out. Ready-mix in my local lends you a trailer, so we can get the yard for around the cost that he's renting the mud mixer.
I sure there are some small improvements that could be made to the humble Armstrong Holland 3t to turn it into a serious hire machine.
>>2951001We mixed our own but I still hate making concrete slabs.
>>2948593>meanwhile some random Estonian is pouring whole shed slabs by hand from scratch.https://youtu.be/Y8i3pvii8CU
>>2951108Yeah fuck that. Looks like a miserable day. Man that stuff is wet too. Probably needed to be or else it wouldn't have worked for him. Slab looks decent considering, just would have been better with concrete trucks bringing in uniformly mixed loads and a few guys helping.
>>2951108that dude is an inspiration, fantastic work
>>2951162Yeah.. at the end he does a breakdown and he saved like 1500 eurobucks, like dude, value your time and body more..
