Thanks I’ll work this out in my head. Thats what i came up with years ago but my concrete needs here were pretty much done at that point. simple solution is to just bolt a gas engine on it. Theres a towable mixer with a chute that mixes quite a bit at one time for about what all this will run...

It’s been a long time but every part of it was just a head ache not enough lift for a full dump maybe a much larger taller tractor might have a little more height here ? even if my top cylinder was able to get there but I actually think the angles weird regardless. And we did have to kill the...

Im glad I posted here lots of great information. I’ll tinker with it over the weekend. I prefer it to be front loader mounted the rear three point hook up is lacking in many ways not only do I not have great control when lining up and dumping the concrete I will need to ad one more auxiliary...

I do have a hydraulic top link but it did not move far enough it’s possible a longer cylinder or an extension for it may help or fix it. I will start by hooking it back up and seeing what it takes to get a full dump from the rear three point in which case a hydraulic motor will cure my...

I probably wasn’t clear enough In my original post. For starters using the rear mounted three point and PTO driveshaft to power it, the PTO has to be turned off and you can still only dump about 50% of the concrete and its almost worse than mixing concrete in a wheel barrow. In reality it is...

The three point hitch will only dump about half the load of concrete its almost worse than mixing in a wheel barrow by hand. Regardless of the driveline angle. Which is why mounting this on the loader and powering it via hydraulics is about the only way it’s mixer will ever be worth anything.

OK look at this for an option Im struggling to find an 8 GPM motor thats maxed at 540 RPMS ish I found something that might work at least in my train of thought. RPMs and flow rates range higher but its lowest ranges are likely to be about right for what I will actaully need it to spin because...

Doesn’t change the fact that the three point hitch wont dump half the load of concrete. It’s almost worse than hand mixing it in a wheel barrow.

Ill have to check tomorrow I had no time today heres a motor on EBAY or something like it this ones super cheap worries me a little. But something like this its 660 RPM high torque 1” shaft I cna easily make a coupler that fits each side with a shear pin make it so the motor bolts into a plate...

Yeah I was really dissapointed I had a big event lined up special ordered this thing drove 150 miles to get it in time. Hooked it up mixed my first load of concrete then unloaded it with a FN hand sized hoe and a shovel finished what I had to and rented a big gas unit from Portland. Im going...

This is what im going to do. I bought this mixer hoping to be able to mix larger quantities and have an affective dump method. What I got was a big mixer that took more work getting the concrete out than doing it in wheel barrows. Turning the PTO off means your digging concrete out of the mixer...

I have used the mixer one time and never used it again. Cant dump the full hopper with a three point. It was great in theory and it really mixes a big batch of concrete I think four 90 pound bags. Ill build a chute for it as well so I can have four bags getting ready to re load while its mixing...

The wheels on my tractor driven mind are now spinning out of control. yet one more thing I want to achieve before I ship my tractor over seas. I have a pto driven concrete mixer that’s on a three point hitch. It’s worthless. Yeah it mixes concrete and a lot of it very well. But you can’t dump...

The new world order and Hawaii is something else when it comes to equipment. Limited options much higher prices and long delays getting anything. Im filling a shipping container so it’s in my favor to get everything in motion that I can here.. We just installed. New 12 ply tires on it. Man is...
