Default When mixing on site, how much concrete could one guy pour and finish in one day?

With a small electric concrete mixer (2 bags of 60# or 80# ready mix at a

anymore I'm not able to finish before it sets in. That was about 44 bags
of
60# of ready mix.

Would having two small mixers on at the same time increase productivity?
I
don't think I could, or want to, do more than 100 60# bags day.


your losing fiancially, for larger quanties your better off getting it
ppre mixed by a truck.

last time I did a slab, 70 bucks a yard, by truck

by bag 4 tmes that.....


Ok, than how would one guy finish say a 5 yard minimum delivered without the
concrete setting in? Or I could get it one yard at a time (same price as
premixed bags) but I have to return the trailer within 3 hours which takes
away time for finishing. The problem is, its just one of me. If I have 7
guys, there wouldn't be any problem getting a 12 yard truck load at a time.
