Concrete bucket

[Rustyiron]

Sounds like you don't need reminding on the weight of a yd. of 'crete, with that said I believe that most of these "buckets" are about 1/2 yd. Better than a wheelbarrel but still 18 or so trips per truck load. With business (const) so slow, I wonder what you could hire a pump truck for?

This has nothing to do with what you said but I LOVE your signature!! Thinking about stealing it

I'd bring a laborer, and my mixer.

The pad is on a steep hillside. No place to sit a mixer!!! getting stone, portland back there wouldn't be easy, either.
I can load conc bucket up at street, head down the hill, turn around at bottom, then drive straight up the hill and "make a deposit", then head back to conc. truck for another load.

sounds like a crazy one. does it have to be on concrete? sounds like some pressure treated cribbing might work. do you have to place the genset there too? you could always call Carson Helicopter.. we set units on top of Kraft Foods with them..

I think he could buy anew tractor with a concrete bucket for the same price as having it airlifted in. I would go with the concrete bucket. Sounds like you have enough jobs to keep the concrete bucket in good use.

I vote 'railroad tie retaining wall and gravel'.

The problem is my customer doesn't vote for the same method as you.
I actually considered hiring out a crane for setting the genset itself.
>1,000lbs she weighs.

I will add to the mix, again. Using a tractor/FEL and having to do many trips, pretty soon you will have a road to the remote location that will probably need to be fixed after the fact and God help you if it's muddy.

I paid five hundred dollars cash for a four hour minimum with a pump truck, it was supposed to be $700 but he was in and out in two hours. That two hours was for seven yards in my ICF, can't beat that.:thumbsup:

Good point. Do you have any pictures of the job site?
