A construction machine is provided for use in the controlled distribution of formable concrete along a base surface of predetermined configuration. The machine includes a self-propelled main frame movable along the base surface. The main frame is provided with a front section and an elongated trailing section extending rearwardly therefrom. A first hopper is mounted forwardly of the frame front section for receiving a load of formable concrete. An elongated mule is mounted transversely on the frame trailing section. The mule is spaced a substantial distance rearwardly of the frame front section and includes an elongated second hopper having the underside thereof conforming substantially to the predetermined configuration of the base surface. A conveying means is carried on the main frame and effects controlled transfer of the formable concrete from the first hopper to opposite end portions of the second hopper. Vibrating means is carried on the mule. Control means is mounted on the main frame for controlling relative moving and steering of the machine along a prescribed path on the base surface.
