If you can get a screed bar of aluminum angle to put on this machine it will do the job and quite well at a good price. As you probably know if you are shopping for vibratory screed machines for doing concrete, they are expensive. You will need to chase down some material to mount to this machine (which I already had). I was pleased with the value of this machine. I paid $150 delivered. It also shipped quite fast and I got it in about 3 business days. It didn’t have any missing parts.The instructions are on the poorer end of things (which is to be expected from a Chinese seller like this). However, it runs fine and was fairly easy to start and set up. You’ll need to add some oil (I used 10W-30) to this 4-stroke engine. And then some gasoline. You don’t mix oil. It doesn’t have a very big tank so you may go through most of a tank during a pour. I found that the idle at a medium speed was actually the best. It vibrates nicely and did a decent job for me being an amateur pouring 10 yards at a time.The packaging foam was kind of damaged but it did protect the package. Those little foam things are super statically magnetic and kind of make a mess everywhere. But just deal with it if you want to get a good deal.I put some pictures on here of the instruction sheets. You’ll see what I mean.I also added a little flap (see pictures) on the exhaust since to position the handles to my angle made it so it blew fumes directly in my face and I couldn’t move far enough to avoid them and still pull the machine right. It would be cool if the manufacturer fixed this but regardless, I’d say it was an easy fix for me.Also, the rubber handle grips fall off easily and aren’t that great. But maybe some tape of glue would fix that.Overall, it was great for my pours and I made another longer screed bar (15’) out of some aluminum angle that worked well on a wider pour I did later. I hope this review helps someone else that was in my position. Good luck!
