Default More cement mixing, and HF vs. HD

They also have manual pumper trucks that use sections of hose schlepped
into place, clamped together, and run from a small pumper unit. This
pump is MUCH smaller than the usual one since you don't expect to have
to pump it 50' inthe air on the boom.

how remote from a drop off point? i imagine by now you are getting
sick of hearing ideas from people who are suggesting an alternative to
small batch mixing, but here's a few mo

1. rent a skidsteer. have readymix concrete delivered and schlepp it
to your site with the bobcat, one bucket at a time. (i've done that
one)

2. check into a conveyor truck. i can get a truck with a 80' conveyor
for about ninety bucks, plus the cost of the concrete of course, which
has got to be the deal of the century. (something tells me youre not
that close).

3. would a pumper truck reach?

having learned concrete the hard way myself, i'll i can say is i hope
you have a good back and good luck.
