& a piece of 9" dpc to rub over for the smoothe! I'm sure all these machines are great but I can still lay & smoothe 3.0m3 in one hit leaving it so smoooothe. £20 for an assistant on the other end of a tamping bar & then dpc.

With a beam screener you could lay 30+m3 smooth with out breaking much of a sweat .

But I'd have to buy this machine & I have the tamping bar to hand. 'Tis surprising how much concrete you can lay in 3.0m3 batches over 3 weeks.

You could hire a beam screener for £50 a day and lay all your concrete in a day

Made may own - been on here before, two beams, one good electric motor, one bad one with the coils stripped out and a small lump of metal welded on the armature, powered by belt from the good motor.
Frame to lift with forks, two hooks to pull with forks, easy peasy and cheap.
