[AT] Concrete slab

[George Willer]

Bear,

I had a hopper that resembled a miniature gravity wagon in shape that I used 
in place of the loader bucket on an old Ford tractor.  It was a life saver a 
few times.  It could get in tough places with about a 1/2 Yd. at a time, but 
could also raise to pour in tall forms.  It had a peep gate that allowed 
good control.

I'm sure happy that I don't pour concrete any more.  One thing to 
remember... either you work the concrete or it will work you!

BTW we used to use the tractor mixer a lot to ferry cement from the truck to 
the pour when it was too wet or to tight a location to get the truck in. 
Just like a georgia buggy, but lots better than Mexican dumptruck 
(wheelbarrow)

  I can get a three point tractor mounted cement mixer.  I am thinking about
  making my own concrete for the slab in my work shop.  How much money will 
I
  save by making my own concrete.  What problems will I encounter by doing
  this?  Thanks, Ricky
