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?- Hide quoted text -

try to find some friends, or paid help.

check cost of 5 yards delivered

check cost of 5 yards by bag

then check cost of friends realtives or paid help.

I was just pointing out by the bag is the pricest way to go, and not
good if your placing a large slab......


If you'll note, I agreed w/ you and suggested to OP he get some
help...Lawrence was the one who ragged about being a loner, not me,
and my response was to him, not you...
