A “zero turn radius” batch cart for delivering loads of raw concrete mix over difficult and uneven construction job sites transports a tiltable, load-receptive hopper displaceable between load bearing and load discharging positions. The rigid chassis is supported by front, hydraulically powered drive wheel assemblies and a pair of rear caster wheels for steering effects. An internal combustion engine, with its own throttle control, drives a hydraulic pump that powers separate hydraulic motors and valves for operating the cart. The front-mounted drive wheel assemblies are independently, hydraulically driven and each can be rotated forwardly or rearwardly independently of the other. Quick and precise zero-turn radius steering movements will result when the front wheel assemblies rotate in different directions, in combination with the caster rear wheel assemblies that exhibit negative caster.
