1. An offset concrete screed apparatus for screeding wet concrete slurry, comprising:
- a cross support bar;
means for attaching the cross support bar of the offset concrete screed apparatus to a liftable arm of a motorized vehicle;
one or more support bar sleeves attached to the cross support bar;
one or more vertical support bars each of which passes through a respective one of the one or more support bar sleeves;
a screed bar attached to said one or more vertical support bars;
wherein the screed bar being positioned offset from the motorized vehicle allows the motorized vehicle to be driven outside forms containing the wet concrete slurry during the screeding.

Abstract
Methods and systems for making and using a wide swath offset concrete screed apparatus for screeding wet concrete slurry. The apparatus includes a cross support bar, an attachment mechanism for attaching the cross support bar to a liftable arm of a motorized vehicle, and lateral support bars for attaching a screed bar to the cross support bar. The screed bar is positioned offset from the motorized vehicle used to operate the screed, allowing the motorized vehicle to drive outside the forms.
