Abstract

A concrete leveling machine is provided which propels itself over the surface of laid concrete and by use of rotating augers or oscillating stabilizers and a temper, levels and finishes the surface to a prescribed level and condition. A laser reference beam transmitted over the surface is detected by detectors attached to the leveling section of the machine and deviation of the level of the detectors from a reference level is adjusted so that the leveling section is also brought to a level required to produce the desired surface level. The machine is turned by a turntable integral with the main body which lifts the machine allowing it to turn by differential drive to its drive wheels.
