When I poured mine, I had about the same problem, 75-100 feet from the street
to contend with, hilly slope that a concrete couldn't (or wouldn't navigatye,
etc). Pump truck was an option, but they wanted some high price and a minimum
of 10 yards to pump before they came around.
My solution was a Georgia Buggy. It's a basically "motorized wheelborrow" and
that's its purpose in life, to move concrete to those hard to get to places. I
rented one from the local "A-1 Rent-all" joint for 55 bucks all-day Saturday.
Mixer truck showed up, we poured the three anchors and base in about 45
minutes.
