In this video I'm showing how to power trowel a 1500 sq ft garage floor using a brand new MBW 36" power trowe.
MBW asked us to try out this concrete power trowel and give you our opinion on the quality and ease of use.
After power troweling this concrete floor with it, my guys said they "loved the new power trowel". This 36" power trowel operates very smoothly at high RPM's and has virtually no vibration in the handles.
It was very well made (it's made in the USA), and comfortable to run for an extended period of tim.
After using the MBW 36" trowel to finish this garage floor, I highly recommend it for you to purchase for your business.

I ended up buying this power trowel. Thanks for the recommendation.
Very well made video. I enjoyed the close up. Good work.
Thank you!
I reckon it would a great bit of kit, I live in Ireland and have a mbw compaction plate from new bought 8 years ago only ever service it and changed the clutch once and never a issue with it while other plates have come and gone 👍🇮🇪
That's awesome, MBW makes some great equipment!!
Had one it worked for a week and turned to junk quick. Got another one that's a 9hp with quick pitch lever. I love that machine
Love to videos checking in from Nova Scotia!!!
Thanks Keagan!!
Love your videos in Honda cunning from China
Good stuff!
The company I work for has the same machine we love it
A new P Trowel! Way to get me excited! Lol.
I always ran Stone's.
I had a couple Stone's a long time ago, a 4 footer and a 3 footer. Both ran very good and I had them a long time.
@@MikeDayConcrete Yeah same here. Those Honda motors last forever! Keep up the good work.
I run a 4’ Multiquip machine, that thing looks nice, might have to add one to the arsenal, lot easier to load I bet!
I have an old 36 bartell with a new Honda motor and its a life saver but it's heavier then some of the whitemans ive used and the handle/bars isnt adjustable.. But the twist pitch blade control makes it worth it
Nice power troweling
Up here in Northwest Ohio practically every concrete contractor uses MBW power trowel machines.
Mike didn't mention how reliable they are. Reliability matters a lot in the concrete business. It would suck if you had a raging slab to finish and your power trowel doesn't work.
i have had one of these for several years. Can you comment on the thought process of blade angle and rotation speed? Thanks
We are using boren superior to burn slabs and 8 h.p whitemen with float pan to float the slabs
Hey Mike,
What's your take on the tomahawk power trowels? Most of them have the 160 Honda engine
We’ve got the same machine. It’s a good one
That's awesome Steven!!
I use a bartell,with a Honda motor.36 inch. 2 years old. Excellent machine.Wish it had the lifting hook though.
Yea, the lifting hook with the truck crane are awesome. My guys love that crane.
What do you do to get the blades going. I've only ran stone. It's Got the clutch you engage and disengage
What about a garage floor with a drain in the middle? Any instructions about slopeing to drains?
I use the older mbw. They hold up pretty good. I would like to see how handy the mbw 36 is with the edging cage. Looks like it could work. Love the made in wisconsin. I could pick it up myself. Keep the great videos coming.
Thank you!
Pro trick : you can watch movies at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.
@Derrick Enoch yup, been using Flixzone} for months myself =)
@Derrick Enoch Definitely, I have been watching on flixzone} for months myself :D
@Derrick Enoch Definitely, I have been using Flixzone} for since december myself :)
I have the 9 its heavy runs nice and flat the only thing I don't like is the ring pain in ass changing or spinging the blades
Nice to see you use combo blades, we have a Bartell and a Wacker poly combo blades, both custume mods to them, both are 3'.
We don't usually use them. They came with the trowel.
combos
combos suck
We call it blued out. Nice machine! Never heard of company. Whiteman is about all you see here in Tennessee.
Brad we have dealers in Tennessee. Ram Tool is one of them. www.mbw.com/products/concrete/walk-behind-trowels
I'd recommend trying one next time you're in the market for a new trowel
I checked the machines out. Definitely a good price and looks like great quality!
I'm wondering about stress cracks. How come you can power trowel a smooth finish in a garage and outside always needs stress cracks? Cheers
When do u put that on?...do wait longer than if u were to trowel or float it normally
46 in Whitman 9 hp Honda in Florida
We use boren super trowel
Does it have a cvt clutch or centrifugal clutch?
Just finished 2500 sq ft with 3 guys.. pretty proud of that. Lol
Thanks for making the video. Quick question? I live in a typical single-family home in a subdivision in Northern VA. The house was built in the early 90's and has a (slab on grade/ floating slab) for the garage floor. I am drilling 1/2" holes through the slab and possibly a foot into the dirt for termiticide. They will be along the perimeter spaced 1 foot apart (so maybe 50 holes).
Question is: will I be drilling into any utilites? I am assuming I will hit gravel before the dirt.
Yes, you will.
Por favor, graba un tutorial de cómo usar esta máquina 😊
Hi Mike
Would I be able to buy direct from MBW?
In the market for a trowel ??which do you like of all you used
Nice looking machine what's price tag run?
Have 2 Bartells and a wacker with 8 horse Honda on it.what do u guys use to slope doors?
Mike, it's in the ballpark of 2500.00 We usually use a Mag float to slope the doors. We dig out some of the crete and slope it as it firms up.
Masterfinish h series 40inch.
How does the northern tool power trowel stack up. It’s half the price and the same motor
I don't know. I suspect it's made in China. Probably not as well built and no customer service.
36" Stone power trowel, 8HP
I have Wackers and Whiteman 4 footer
Hi Matt, I have 8 Whiteman's too. Been using them for over 20 years. This MBW ran a little more comfortable in my opinion.
@@MikeDayConcrete I have MBW tampers and have run flawlessly. As long as its Honda powered your good
Hey Mike! What power trowel would you recommend buying? Brand? Hp?
For floors like this, MBW Inc. 36" 5.5 HP like this one.
@@MikeDayConcrete Thanks Mike!🤙
At 7:50 in the vid. What type of shoes is he wearing?
joe conner they’re called finishing shoes. They’re pretty cool. They’re smooth on the bottom so your boots or shoes don’t leave imprints
I just bought a used viber kelley power trowel looks oldbut made in california
How firm should the concrete be before using a power trowel on it?
Dip ur fingers innit, if ur fingers sink without effort then its not ready
We use bartell
Bartell makes a very nice power trowel.
Is power troweling (after bull floating) necessary if you plan to grind the floor anyway? What would be the result if the power troweling was skipped?
I've done exterior slabs before without power troweling (broom finish) and with reasonable success but I am about to pour a 2000 square foot interior garage floor slab and don't want to mess it up.
Paul Decker you and I are doing the same thing. 😂
Wacker all the way
Well I guess if you want to spend hours waiting for it to set up
Power trowel to BBC flatten It out skate boards it on final hit move on
But to each their own
Charlie, is there something wrong with power troweling it. Have you got a better way?
Mike Day Everything About Concrete no just hitting it by hand faster and move to the next job
I just pour and finish more cement then 15 yards a day all I am saying
There no wrong way
In less ya loss it then because cement only does 2 things m gets hard and cracks lol
BBC, are you referring to bump cutter? I don't know anything about doing all this. Just heard about bump cutter on another video.
No shine???
Superior
If that was made in China, Mike would be able to finish 1 more floor the that would be it, buy another.
Haha lose the sweatshirt and pound a beer. At least sped up he pounded it.
