Leeboy Walk Behind Curb Machine

Has anyone ever seen the Leeboy LBC 24 W in action or worked with one just looking for everyone's opinion. Was thinking potontially about purchasing one.

I thought about buying one once but after some investigation was convinced otherwise. There's really only 3 makers worth talking to. Gomaco and Powercurber are top of the heap with their GT3600 and 5700SB. Miller runs a very distant 3rd. You might make some mjoney with a Leeboy but it's uses are limited. If you buy one you'll eventually wish you had gotten a bigger machine

Well Curb our market is full of big machines I was thinking of filling a small niche in the under 5000 area, I know the Gomaco is superior, but with the Leeboy I was thinking, about smaller crew size, lower overhead, etc. Thoughts?

Please let me know if you get one how well it works. I really am curious. I've always been advised against it, and it'd be interesting to see if it works

never seen the Leeboy work either, but I am curious. I have a Gomaco 3200 and it is great in little parking lots and subdivisions. BTW--curbguy--what are you running?

another thought. don't know what you are looking for exactly, but Mike at slip-tech in Columbus OH makes a walk behind machine that seems interesting. Google slip-tech.

Curbguy, do you have a good formula for figuring out how far one yard of concrete would go on any given style of curb and gutter?

figuring yardage is more of an experience based. it will depend on size of curb and grade of rock. Post a dimension and I can try to get it close.
