There are a couple rental yards that rent those, with a yard of redi mix loaded. Only down side, or couple here locally; you get 1 hour with the price per yard, which is pretty high per yard ($220+), and the "local" yard is 1 hour each way, and that doesn't include return trip, or pouring time, and with that, I dont want to dump, and make 1 hr return and 1 hour home trip

Plus the other investment costs (like taxes and insurance). How about someone qualified to run it and their helpers. It gets really expensive really quick!

By some of the rental prices out there it's almost cheaper, more convenient, easier to place concrete with a front or even rear discharge concrete truck. If there's a minimum and I'm not hitting it I'd throw together hopefully with scrap lumber forms for smaller easy to move pads. (With a tractor) of course Or mix your own with 80lb bags of quiqcrete and a cheap harbor freight mixer I've owned one that still works for 15 yrs now, however the belts need to be tight and I don't recommend doing it when it's plugged in trying to rotate drum trying to mix or your device using to tighten belts may hit the electric motor plastic fan blades and take them all out. Lol

Holy cripes is that like 30 yds? With a crew placing and finishing concrete i hope, meanwhile I paid a little over 2k for basically two front discharge trucks with a 4 or 5 bag mix and fiberglass fibers in the mix one slab was 24x36 x5" thick with steel mesh and fiber for my pole barn plus he didn't up charge me for putting all extra shoots on cuz the barn was already built. 2nd pour was 24x30 4" thick with fibers in mix plus I put down wire mesh and 2" high density foam under concrete in my cabins frost wall perimeter, no heaving, cracks, no control joints in either diy placement and finishing (steel trowel on both by me and called In favors to friends kind of played the divorce card also unintentionally kind of although had nothing good to say of "happy bottoms" to my friends at that time. I'm still waiting 12 yrs later for the call from some of my friends for me to help them doing some of there projects I hear them talk to me about.
