Will depend on the ground when we dig it, we’ve got one of those big belle at350s so 350l and towable ferrying in 1m3 dry then adding water is an option do it over a few days

Be like the indians. Tip the dry mix on the floor and just use a Rotavator to wet it upon bulk

The valley it’s in is basically dead end valley with hell of a hill into it, bottom of kinder scout then there’s a 10 ton bridge then Ive a country track rutted to death along a river to an old gate with stone posts that i can careful just squeeze through mirrors almost touching with Amarok, about .7 mile to gate then through a stream then opens into a field up a grass slope. Fields that’s pretty dry and about 300 yards uphill

would a dumper make it from the road to where you need the muck ?

I've been thinking about how I can utilise my micro to help mix up cement on landscaping projects (probably no feasible for me in reality). Seems to me you want to consider something similar as getting ready mix could be risky, potentially an expensive f**k up and at the very least highly stressful.

Could you not get all the ballast and bags of cement ready next to where you'll need to pour it with your 4x4 and tipper? If so, once all set up, you could load a mixer with a mini digger and have a couple of guys with those belle warrior wheel barrows? I'm sure it's possible to mix and pour 6m3 in a day. A pump to pull water from the stream would be handy too.

Can always borrow it if you have a job for it ;) if I had your hydrema I would have skipped this and went straight to a Kilworth pan mixer...don't have anything that can manage 60lpm flow though sadly, or the weight even!

I think the teagle spira mix is going to be a better option than the cheap pan mixers for mixing small quantities.

“locally” - try the “country” now mate, either nobody can make anything or doesnt want to. I had a dream of buying some nissen huts for cheap storage on the farm, got the bases already poured since WW2 when POW’s used them, try finding an affordable place for rolled sheets in UK. We really are just becoming a useless service industry :cry:

nail on the head there Boyo .....
tried Cladco, up your way for rolled 'wriggly' sheet? ....
trouble is -- getting a decent thickness ... those nissens were 0.9mm (22swg) and self supporting, covered in pitch and most were framed too :rolleyes:
