The Lil' Bubba® EP is an advanced plunger style concrete curb machine featuring a drive that creates a consistent flow of concrete with each revolution. The unique motion of the Lil' Bubba® EP scores the concrete as it packs the mold to prevent a "flat spot" or "weak area". Designed for landscape applications, the EP has an open design to fill in uneven terrains resulting in a even appearing curb. |
 |
Lil' Bubba® TT curb machine is the company’s economy landscape curber. The Lil' Bubba TT machine does not contain the patented EP drive mechanism, rather a ram that travels in a back and forth motion only. This machine extrudes curb just as beautiful as the EP machine however lacks the power and anti-bridging properties. This machine will not produce the 24" garden walks. |
 |
The EPC is a larger version of the EP, designed to make quick work of parking lot ribbon curb or extremely large landscape borders while feeding from a concrete truck. This machine will make curb up to 12" x 12". All molds for the EPC are made to order. A simple sketch, with dimensions of mold profiles to fit the customers’ needs, is all that is necessary to place an order. |
