Hey all,

So working on a project where the house is on a steep hill.  Not able to get a concrete truck up there to pour footings.

Found a half yard hydraulic concrete mixer for a class 3 hitch, Need about 380 bags at 80 lbs (2.3 yards).  Is there any other way?  A new road will be done half way to get a pumper crane for the nexcem blocks but they don't want it to the house.  I was hoping the backhoe would be able to move the concrete with the loader but it's just spinning into the gravel road/sand.  Bringing sacks up with the excavator is another option but it would take way to long.  Ten guys and this old MF165 seems like our only option at this point.

If we get the footers up, the blocks/scaffolding should would be the next phase.

Thoughts?

If a pump crane will work for walls, you should be able to just pump the footings but without the crane.

Agreed. Pump truck is probably your easiest option.
I wouldn't want to have to dick with 400 bags of concrete, aggregate, etc.
