Better bet would be to rent yourself a concrete buggy or sometimes called a
Georgia buggy. It's a motorized job that you can drive back and forth and will
hold about 1/3 - 1/2 yard of concrete. I did the same when I had to pour over
8 yards for my guyed tower (base and guy anchors) two years ago. I was able to
haul the concrete in less than an hour's time. Well worth it and I also could
not get the truck into my back forty. Phil KB9CRY
