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.

Even on that basis as soon as you lift the barrow your done for.

.

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.
Be good for stretching the tendons.

A good barrow will take a full load from a brickie's mixer - not one of those little 2.2 cubic feet jobs but the larger ones. Don't ask me what the capacity of the mixer is though, but Al is sure to know. (I have a concrete phobia ) Anyway it's a half bag mix of mortar. Any more than that and you'll be spilling it.

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.

Either way I recon concrete would have a miniscule miniscus.
Try saying that 10 times really fast.

that must be the dry ring around the barrow lip after 14 1/2 mile hikes acorss that proverbial lazer leveled site

before he asks how do i balance a wheelbarrow full of water on a set of scales , use 3 scales , or use one under 3 points and add them together

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.
