Talk about hi-jacking poor mrghm's first thread.
Welcome by the way mrghm.
Just bored s###less at the moment looking at a heap of sites trying to find some comparisons so I can try to screw a vendor down before he screws me.
This helps keep me alert and awake.
Guess you have to factor in the slump as well. A really stiff mix and a short run you may be able to get away with it.Quote:

Its about 8 barrows per m3(providing your back is strong enough...), a cube is 35ft3, most barrows are 6cft(.16m3) but you cant fill it to the brim otherwise it would be 6 barrows.
that must be the dry ring around the barrow lip after 14 1/2 mile hikes acorss that proverbial lazer leveled siteQuote:

With a stiff mix you should be able to get two mixes of a 2.2 mixer into the one barrow. Buggered if I know how much a 2.2 really delivers guess it depends on the mix and slope of bowl.
