Volumetric Concrete Mixers are cool bits of kit. Usually come with a free barrowing service too so all you have to worry about is spreading the concrete.
I would love to get a look at the mixer truck in person, all I have seen here in the US are the old drum types that are loaded at the plant and mixed while driving to the site. I wonder how the maintenance on that compares to the drum types. Probably a lot cheaper if the truck breaks down on the way to the site since you don't have to worry about it drying in the drum. And happy birthday to Harry as well, hope it's a great one. 😀🎂
This is a quantity machine so basically it arrives on site dry so the mix can be made to how the site lads want it and then you only pay for what you used rather than over ordering if that makes sense
Great idea, my father past away few months back and I remember he did this tar and with white stong on a public path. So we went to look to see if we could find it and we did.
given the fact I worked for the contractor that did his work for 12 years, id say there was jack all wrong with his yard, but hay his money at the end of the day hahaha
Sean Kerr the concrete that’s left will sink would of been better too take it all up and start a fresh because there’s no mesh under the old parts and it’s 4 inches thick 🙈
Out of curiosity, can I ask what that odd shaped little narrow bit they started with is about? How come they didn't just square it off? I'm sure there's a reason, just curious what it might be?!! 😁
Richord I do love your channel I never miss a video I always give a 👍. But sorry for criticizing that slab should have been finished in 1 pore you’ll see why in a few years you’re self. Again sorry for being negative 3 men and a Bunnyan stricker that’s all that’s pored ☹️
@@thefunkyfarmer if u put a straight edge on the end you can pour the new mix up against it and will be fine , done it often .......your kids will be doing the next yard ......thats wishing u a long life ,,,,,!
They're called volumetric mixers, the only advantage that I can think of compared to normal mixers is that its impossible to have concrete dry in the drum
Great video Richard keep up the great work. Happy birthday harry
Well done. Another job complete
That's new to me also, mix on the go. Nice to not have to get the exact amounts calculated beforehand
Happy birthday Harry hope you had a great day. Looking good and seeing it finished.keep the videos coming.
Nice those vib roller make a lot of difference alot easier that 2 people and a piece of wood will be great when finished 👍

Looks smart - will be great when finished.
Your far better using a traditional mixer (drum mixer wagon) those volumetric mixers never seem to mix enough

Hair drying the concrete hard ass
That concrete truck is awesome! You guys have all the cool equipment over there LOL Happy birthday Harry!
And when it is all ready , the farmcat walks through the fresh concrete ; at least , that is how it goes the times that i did some concrete.😁
always happens
We had pheasants walk right through ours
😄 my cat did
Another great video Richard
Looks neater, a bit less mud is always a bit better and easier to keep equipment clean.
Very true!
So far so good very good video can’t wait for part 2 Also Happy Birthday Harry hope you had a great day
great video good job and the workers did a great job
Amazing technology, especially the degree of control the operator has.
Interesting to watch, never seen a machine like that myself either.
I ve done quite a few concrete pours and it's back breaking work
Looks like a job well done!
Looks good to me, should be a great job. You didnt fancy volunteering on a rake Richard?
not really....
You and your kids should put your hand print in the sment in one corner and your anishals above it and the year
Great idea, my father past away few months back and I remember he did this tar and with white stong on a public path. So we went to look to see if we could find it and we did.
Great videos
that what a new kind of concrete truck i newer see
How long till someone has something negative to say????? Been waiting on this.... Great video
I thought exactly the same when I posted this.
given the fact I worked for the contractor that did his work for 12 years, id say there was jack all wrong with his yard, but hay his money at the end of the day hahaha
Wouldn't have got done without the grant funding Chris
@@thefunkyfarmer, Any kind of investment can only be a good thing. So Richard does not matter how it was funded.
Concrete is a big investment on a family farm.
Impressive learnt a lot. Great work.
The steal frame is called shuttering
dan 1 rebar actually
i just call it mesh
Lewis Davies he’s talking about the formwork obviously 🤦🏼♂️
@@upthereds4939 aye if hes on about the steel frame
David Cowe yeah bud
Hahah tarmac rake and leaf rake not a concrete rake in sight still fair play
@The Funky Farmer That's a great job there doing,such a big improvement and so much easier to work on.Love your videos.
Happy birthday Harry save me some cake bro lovely video
They not stitching the old random
Parts to the new concrete pour? With all the machinery it’s only going to crack over time
Sean Kerr the concrete that’s left will sink would of been better too take it all up and start a fresh because there’s no mesh under the old parts and it’s 4 inches thick 🙈
As its already been down 40 years the old concrete has pretty much done all the sinking its going to do
Two of my favourite things concrete and farms
Warm beer and wet concrete, for the english. I have never seen a mixer like that, different countries different things
It is winter 🥶 in New Zealand 🇳🇿
Out of curiosity, can I ask what that odd shaped little narrow bit they started with is about?
How come they didn't just square it off? I'm sure there's a reason, just curious what it might be?!! 😁
Good video Richard 👍🏻
Great video
Happy Birthday Harry
Why are you keeping concrete thats a rasher thick in places ? Gonna be quite the upgrade come silage time next year bud
concrete looks like a little to wet
nah it isnt, it has to fill every single corner so that there is no air inside and the concrete, otherwise it gets damaged over the time
Nice video .
what strenght in neutons is that concrete ?.....looks a good job with re bars and all ........concrete is only as good as the ground under it ........
Makes me want porridge.....
The concrete roller is hydraulic and they're hard work a vibrating tamping board is a lot easier
will Moore or just a bit of timber and get to work 🤣🤣
I think he'd rather hold the camera 😁
Heavy work raking and levelling concrete all day . No need to go to the gym when doing this , looking good !
that concrete has been wetted up well ......imagine what stiffer 40 n concrete would be like .......
There called screeds Richards.
Why did you get that machine mixing on site it’s much more expensive that ready mix
no its not. i costed everything
We always use mix on site now. You only pay for what you use.
If you get ready mix you have to be bang on with your measuring! Any over it’s your problem! Farmers don’t like wasting concrete!
The best concrete is out of a barrel mixer, to much water in those mix it on site jobs
every so easy these days in my day mixed by hand and barreled in the dont now they are born these days

i thinks it's fine. The original concrete wasnt done in one pour yet all the bits stayed level
@@thefunkyfarmer if u put a straight edge on the end you can pour the new mix up against it and will be fine , done it often .......your kids will be doing the next yard ......thats wishing u a long life ,,,,,!
👍 nice to see the work moving on
When are you going to using the new muck spreader 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Probably in the winter. To be honest I don't want to get it dirty
The Funky Farmer don’t blame ya 😂
👏👏👏👏👍
Thee worst concrete pour I’ve ever seen
They did not know what they were doing when it was getting porred at first they just watching ???
Size 10 trample finish
Is that a new type of concrete mixer or is that type common in the UK ? Never seen it this way , mixing it while laying the concrete.
jacky bruckers it’s something pretty new for the uk I believe. You still typically see the traditional one tho
It’s usually the spinning yolk

they been on the go a few years now
@@jp18449 and you only pay for what you use. And no waste.
Grant funding?
catchment sensitive farming grant. Not 100% though
Farmer doesn't know difference between air compressor and hydraulic drive????
Allan Lee and?
He's not going to know everything can't all be a genius like you
