    do you know how much can this one haul?
    what is weight difference between it and normal mixer?
    fuel consumption difference due to front driven axle?
    price difference when new?

    for me it is hard to understand concept of such mixer, sounds too expensive comparing to high production models.
    you told before it is possible to unload it on site closer where concrete is needed to avoid pump hire, can understand that pumps are not that common because you dont use concrete for upper floors.


    my neighbor recently bring 56m concrete pump to pour concrete wall around house, maybe truck 2 mixers of load.

    most common pumps are 36m 3axle, 42m on 4axles and 28m mixer pump on 4axle truck.

    Around me the front loaders have only 4 axles . Front is driven and back tandems also driven and a pusher (lift axle) mounted in front of the drives. They haul 10 cubic yards legally……the crews like them because the driver can see the chute better and has a joy stick to control it. Both up and down and side to side. And you can add water from inside too…. You never see a rear unloader around here anymore .

    sorry but the rest of the questions are above my knowledge.

    What is legal weight for 4 axle in your place?

    Here 70550 and can carry 10-10.5q yards legally.
