Greg, I can't beleive a man of your stature actually read the owner's manual.

Trust me, take that 1 second of time and turn the mixer off when you add the bags. It will become 2nd nature in no time.

Or make a mess.

Haha!

Well, we just did 76 bags this morning in the rain. I bought 60's instead of 80's and it was INSANELY easier. No more 80's...ever...if I have the choice.

From buying, transporting and placing it took about 3-1/2 hours with two guys. My truck was about 200 feet from the deck so we used the mini to move the bags 9 at a time.

I had to make two trips to get the crete since I will only put 1 pallet max in my pickup at a time and my dump trailer was already in use.

I'll give your idea of turning it off a go next time. I just like to move fast!!!
