Trowel machine vs hand finishing for big warehouse floors

Rented a power trowel for the first time on a 40,000 square foot job last month. Hand finishing that much slab would have taken me three days, got it done in eight hours. Anyone else switch over to machines for large pours?

Think you mean power trowel not trowel machine, but yeah they save tons of time.

Agree completely. I had a crew do a big warehouse floor by hand years ago and swore I'd never do that again after seeing these things work. Bought a used one the next month and it paid for itself in two jobs.
