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
time) I'm not able to mix much more than an area of 6' x 12' by 4" thick,
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.....


The guy says he's working alone you have to take his word for it. I
live in a remote part of the country where it can be difficult or
impossible to find helpers. ...


You have no friends that will come for a weekend work/party?
