If you do mix it by hand, rent a mixer.
I did three footings in my basement in < 1 day. It was approx 1 yard total. I had 50 ready mix bags delivered by the local lumber yard. I rented a small electric mixer & used that right in the basement.
With better acess, you should be able to mix it pretty quick on site, especially with a larger mixer. Find some young atheletic lad to help you, the 50th bag of concrete felt like it weighed 2X what the first one did.
The local exposed aggregate company seems to mix quite a bit on site per day. I often see their flatbed trucks heading out with 2 or more pallets of mix & the mixer is on the back of the truck. They do patios, walks & pool surrounds.
For some reason the concrete buggies aren't all that popular in NE - I haven't ever seen one & once I searched & didn't find any companies.
